    Possible restrictions on bats being looked at

    Balance favours batsmen - David Richardson | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo Are they finally going to do something about this issue? If so, about time. Nothing pisses me off more than seeing ****ty batsmen mis-hit amazing bowlers for six.

    Is pretty dumb. Thoughts?

    Conflict within 'the spirit of the game'.

    So about a month ago, Ramdin was punished by the ICC for claiming a grounded catch, and going against 'the spirit of the game'. Whats the difference between claiming a grounded catch, and not walking when you know 100% that you are out aka Stuart Broad? Interested to see opinions

    Windies domestic Thread

    Haven't seen one of these for a while so thought I'd post this for discussion on the latest goings on, also for me to discuss any prospects I've been tracking/keeping an eye on. T20 island tournament is going on, and I actually watched Guyana/C&C last night. ****ing ridiculous game. Was mainly...

    RIP SL cricket thread

    SL cricket Doom and Gloom thread Lets face it guys. Things are a complete and utter shambles here. I know on the face of things NZ look pretty bad as well, but honestly its SL I'm really concerned about. I genuinely think the SLCB has done irreparable damage to their cricket. They had a...

    Cricket's spin resurrection

    So out of nowhere really, cricket's spin stocks have suddenly become high again. Ajmal, Rehman, Swann, Herath, Mendis, Panesar, Ojha, Ashwin, Lyon, Narine, Jeets, Gazi, Dockrell. So many spinners who are at least serviceable to very good and are the focal point of their attacks. Why has this...

    This is why SA will always have a good side

    Tactical retiring in T20

    With so few deliveries to play with, how long will it be before this tactic comes into play? Makes sense to me, teams need to utilise their batting finishers in the same way the fielding side uses bowling finishers. Plus its better to retire a guy and keep him in reserve than have him attempt...

    Congrats to Philander

    Fastest post-war bowler to 50 wickets. Straight outta Lohmann/Spofforth territory this guy.

    How much longer will DF survive as Indian coach?

    I give him three weeks.

    Quinton de Kock

    19 years old, averaging over 60 after 12 FC games (in SA - very tough to do). Reportedly very talented. Another future SA batting gun? Could he replace Smith as the next longterm test opener/captain?

    Fast bowling time capsule

    Idea of this is that we take a group of young international fast bowlers, compare and contrast, then bump the thread yearly to check progress and see how opinions have changed over time. For this I'd suggest Yadav/Finn/Cummins/Pattinson/J Khan/D Bracewell/Marchant De Lange. Concept for me is...

    Should M. Amir become a mercenary?

    Now his reputation is shot to pieces, should he use his ban to spend time in (Ireland) some other country with a dearth of fast bowlers and gain eligibility? Idea behind this is that after his ban Pakistan will likely ignore him. Forgetting how reprehensable this seems, which nation would you...

    Would you have upheld the appeal?

    Would you have ignored Strauss and Flower and upheld the appeal? I'm sure the general team feeling comes into play as well, since Dhoni reportedly asked his players. Personally, I'd have upheld it since I'm of the opinion that you take wickets anyway you can. Its important to look at this...

    Jim Laker

    We all know about his amazing feat, but are there any records on what his bowling was actually like? The only footage I've seen of him is the 19 haul, and interestingly he seemed to get a lot of people out bowled round their legs from round the wicket. Suggests to me he was a big turner of the...

    Modern Bats

    People talk about flat decks and worse bowling, but I think the biggest change in cricket since the 90s are the bats. They just seem so overpowered now. Shots which used to be impossible now look ridiculously easy. How far will this go? Should some kind of restrictions on bat technology be put...

    Cricket Scenario

    Batsman go through for a quick single. Fielder hits the stumps with the batsman well in their ground, and they go for an overthrow. The bowler (or wicketkeeper) then yank out a stump from the side where the fielder hit with his throw before the batsman can cross. Is that out?

    Is there anything in the rules

    -against having the wicketkeeper (while wearing gloves) standing anywhere you want? Say a 20/20 scenario where a boundary is needed of the final ball, and the wicketkeeper stands right on the boundary in the backstop position for the scoop shot. Is this illegal? Is there a rule preventing...

    Hotspot

    So yeah. Has hotspot suddenly become unreliable? Did I miss a memo? Can someone explain what exactly is going on?
