Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

[TheJediBrah]

With local cricket it's been left up to the clubs to organise the streaming themselves over the last couple of years and a lot have done it, in varying grades. Can only assume it will get more and more common each year as more clubs catch on

'Test cricket dead' if England rest and rotate in Ashes, says Michael Vaughan - BBC Sport

"Test Cricket is Best Cricket." says he who shouldn't be named.

This is what "no ****s given" actually means.

all this height discussion has made me think weird and i have been wondering if a person who has grown up dealing with dwarfism can be good at cricket while playing with normal sized players (no sachin doesn't count)

like can they physically generate enough pace to be good spinners?

they'll also be good at forward short leg i'd think given they don't have to do much in terms of evasive action

Can they be lbw off the helmet?

Can they be lbw off the helmet?

I saw a leg bye given off a helmet yesterday, so it’s fair game.

Don't think so, legit dwarfism severely hampers physical processes more than just height. Even catching a dolly at short leg would be a serious challenge.

weeman managed to keep up with the other guys on Jackass stunt-wise so maybe its possible

 

[TheJediBrah]

True, weeman was pretty athletic actually

How did he change his opinion so quickly?

Good thing we didn't spend the whole series letting the batsmen stay on the back foot or anything.

Suraj Randiv is driving bus in Australia ?

 

[Shri]

probably stops the bus well in front of the stop line if someone looks like he's about to overtake

A fascinating read. I always wondered what would have happened if Krejza was given more chances.

What's sad about it?

 

[Starfighter]

Meaningless stat but great collection of pics.

 

[Engle]

This is brilliant strategy. Now that they've got the batsmen tired, they'll be easy pickings

Yeah good read. Almsot reads like a list of excuses at times though
