Can’t play cricket when the Summer Solstice is about to happen.
New rules being introduced modified.
I am sure Stokes & bazz are thrilled about the stop clock in test cricket.

Looking forward to seeing how they evaluate the ball "doing things".

Looks like it only applies to fielding change overs. Stokes will find plenty of time for conferencing in the middle of overs.
Maybe they'll bring back the 2015/16 Kookaburra to make it easier on the umpires. "It's moved off the straight, quick, change the ball".
Not a fan of the domestic level trialling of substitutes for "a player who has suffered serious external injury", because it seems like a creep towards substitutes for pulled muscles and other lack of fitness injuries, and eventually just full substitutes that obviate picking a balanced XI - though the IPL has already gone straight to this stage.

No. Picking a balanced team is an important aspect of the game.

The idea of full substitutes in cricket is bad since it's interesting to watch batters bowl and bowlers bat. It gives context for the skill of players in their primary discipline. Sport isn't about always watching the highest quality possible – entertainment must be balanced.
Think he already got pinned twice for this during the second India innings. Managed to avoid a third and penalty runs.
Why does it matter for the team, and not necessarily for other parts of the game?

For those who were asking questions awhile back, looks like Kez from WeCricket is up in court over some fairly nasty stuff.

It would obviously just be a piss take and it doesn’t need much imagination to see how

I think 19 years, 10 months between posts is a new record!
I'll be honest, I don't see much pisstaking in other team sports subs and I don't see much here that would suggest it'll be different for cricket.
