    Surprised New Zealand defended such a low total. Well done.

    Over-rates yawn

    Does more balls bowled equal more entertainment? T20 is more exciting but has less balls than a 50 over game. I would like to see limited overs tests. eg 4 days, 160 overs per side over 2 innings.

    *Official* 2024 Women's T20 World Cup thread

    I don't think anyone cares about losing Vlaeminck. Australia have so many bowlers Perry doesn't have to bowl and Darcie Brown only bowled one over in each of her matches. Healy is a bigger loss. Grace Harris did a good job opening last game and will probably do it again. There is a lot of...

    Absurdly Awesome Cricket Stats

    Charles Bannerman scored 165 in the first ever test. This is still the highest score by an Australian on debut. It is also the highest individual share of a completed team innings in Test cricket history.

    India had one bad game and are out. Hard to believe that England could have one bad game and be out too.

    *Official* 2024 Women's T20 World Cup thread

    Darcie Brown is having a shocker. Bowled 4 wides and dropped a catch and got dropped. Brought back in because of injury to Tayla Vlaeminck. Then bowled 1 over and dropped a hard catch.

    This is a myth. This is not in the Laws of Cricket.

    3 games so far where 120 was enough runs.

    Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    I should have put my LBW rule thread here. Other things I would change. In a drawn series, the away team gets the trophy. It is harder and rarer to win away so actually drawing away is a greater achievement than drawing at home. Umpire's call is such BS. It leaves it open to a corrupt...

    LBW law

    But what is the logic apart from encouraging batters to play a stroke?

    Cataloguing all Zing Bail fails

    I would be happy if the rules were changed such that lighting up the stumps or bails is equivalent to dislodging the bails.

    LBW law

    What is the logic of this rule apart from encouraging batters to play a stroke. If this rule were abolished, I could hardly believe batters are going to pad up to balls outside off thinking they are hit outside the line.

    LBW law

    You think it would be better if a batter could just stand in front of the stumps to block balls with immunity?

    LBW law

    You are assuming if it pitches outside leg, you can only hit it to the leg side. You are confusing where it pitches with where it passes the batter. A bowler could be left arm around to a batter, pitch in line with the stumps and it goes down leg. The only place to hit that is legside. That...

    LBW law

    Why? Do you want people using their pads to block the ball instead of their bat? What is the logic?

    LBW law

    Ruin cricket how? Why doesn't anyone explain their logic? If you explain it I will probably agree with you but nobody explains anything.

    LBW law

    What does op mean? Instead of just saying you like the current rule, please explain the rationale. Why does it matter where it pitches? Why does it matter if you were struck in line? If you could explain the rationale then maybe I would understand it and agree with you.

    LBW law

    Is anyone else unhappy about the LBW law? If it pitches outside leg, it can't be out. Why? I think the theory is that this is negative bowling. If Warne pitches outside leg and hits the top of off, how is that negative? If anything, you are encouraging negative pad play by having that...

    DRS

    Nothing is 100% accurate. Even tennis is within 3mm. At least it is impartial and I doubt a human is more accurate. I think you are confused on LBW. There are 3 elements. 1 Where did it pitch. 2 Did it strike in line. 3 Would it hit. Umpire's call should only apply to 3 because that is a...
