    Oh crap, really? I was looking forward to not seeing or hearing about it during the World Cup.

    What they are is bull****.

    Look, unless you can afford the favours and backhanders, no one's giving you a vote :p

    We award different numbers of runs based on those things, so they clearly aren't the same thing. Cricket has hundreds of rules, and lots of them get changed around over time.

    I wasn't referring to 6s.

    Just make the fence the boundary again ;)

    I don't think it should matter if the fielder touches the rope fielding the ball. A boundary is when the ball reaches the rope/line - if it doesn't get that far, it shouldn't be four imo.

    Agreed up to a point. If clear cut opportunities are lost because senior batsmen often want two bites of the cherry, is it really working as intended? I don't know what the solution is to that. Plus it just isn't as infallible as people assumed it would be - we seem to be debating as many...

    DRS in general has turned out to be a farce. It was supposed to eliminate blunders and remove ambiguity, but it seems to create those things as often as it fixes them.

    Having trouble accessing arcade/tournament games

    I'm getting this too.

    Will this Turn USA cricket Around.

    I agree that that video is ridiculous, but what you're saying is nonsense.

    I think we have an excellent chance with this attack. Betting on sports is a fool's errand.

    Haha. I already knew he was good.

    248. We can defend that.

    Wow, Henry looks a totally decent bat. Would like to see him given a go in tests.

    I'm not concerned. This is an aberration - just look how we steadied the ship in the last match. This is definitely 'one of those days', but the WC is essentially a 3 match knockout so a day like this can ruin any team's tournament.

    Wow, Milne looks a totally decent bat. Would like to see him given a go in tests. EDIT: Oh FFS.

    I reckon his ODI output in the last couple of years speaks for itself. 84 is still an excellent strike rate in this format imo. Now his *test* form, that's a concern.

    I remember he used to get plenty of criticism for that too. Poor guy can't win.

    I guess as a skilled and expreienced player you make the call as you see it. Would we be any better off if Taylor had scored his 34 off 20 or so?
