Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

Qlder

State Vice-Captain
So that run out in the T20 last night.

Aus were entitled to appeal at any point before the bowler commences his run up, I believe.

I’m assuming the bowler hadn’t commenced his run up when the vision showed on the big screens and Aus realised the batsman was out.

So, once Aus began discussing it with the umpire, they were entitled to appeal (which I believe Hazelwood) did, and it should’ve been adjudicated on or referred to the tv umpire. Correct?

Or is there a law in international/big league where if a big screen replay is shown an appeal can’t be subsequently made? Because surely there should be, or replays should not be shown before the next ball is bowled as the fielding team can have a second look at a potential LBW or edge or run out.
Or Australia could have just appealed instead of not bothering and therefore showing disrespect to the umpire?

One of the players actually did appeal at the time, the umpire just didn't notice. But it was a bit weird that none of the players closer to the action appealed.

Main takeaway though is the umpire is an attention-seeking ****

it’s the player’s responsibility to ensure the umpire is aware of the appeal, surely

Yea I think this is it. Might not be a written Playing Condition, but definitely makes sense as a standard practice.

More luminaries who bowled 'wobble-seamers' aside from Shahid Nazir: James Hopes, Grant Elliot, Gavin Tonge and Daren Sammy
Add Roger Telemachus to the list, and Tapash Baisya, who even held the seam canted so was doing it deliberately. I suspect I've made my point that it was in fact very common

If you born on 1/1/2000 surely, the 20th century is done and the 21st has started.
Technically no, because the Gregorian calendar has no year zero (and you could also consider the year numbers as ordinal in sense, even though we use the cardinal terms). Unless you want the 1st century to have only 99 years, you need to start the 21st 01/01/2001. But the pull of the digit at the start changing is so strong that only a very few very pedantic people will insist on the correct way.
