I personally do not think Gilly cheated....he just failed to inform any of the officials on what he was doing...and looking at the rules, it probably does constitute a foreign object, giving an unfair advantage...so it may be deemed illegal. Last edited by shehanwije; 04-05-2007 at 01:52 AM. |

No, you're the one comparing the energy drink to steroids. This whole thing is so idiotic I don't even know why I'm discussing it. Some people will go to any extent to discredit the Australian side. Whether it be their batsmen play against poor bowlers, which inflates their averages, or the side are unsporting or their hairstyles are crap or this. It really reflects poorly on the lot of you tbh.

Batsmen: May use on the field on what is permitted by the laws of cricket. Bowlers: May use on the field what is permitted by the laws of cricket. Exception being: May use what is ON THE FIELD! Had the squash ball been ON the field it would not be illegal as I see it. However I quoted that bit of shehanwije because I personallky think it is not Gilly failing to inform the officials but not wanting to inform them at all! When one has a squash ball inside one's gloves, something which makes his hands work to get a good grip on the bat, seldom would one's mind slip of such a thing! That being said, it's dumb to cry about it being the ultimate deciding factor. The better team won and Gilly could've gotten a hundred without the squash ball in play. Maybe a few runs less but, oh well, who knows? What if he got more?

Haha. Gelman's right, of course, that there's a million more stupid things than this written every day, but it's still pretty funny, TBH.
I am in, so to speak, the court of "how on Earth can a squash-ball possibly help", though. ![]() And TBH, stupid though this complaint may be, and much as it's blatantly obvious that it's nothing more than an attempt to find some way to discredit an Australia, if it's perceived that it helped Gilchrist here it's unlikely to be long before godzillions of others are trying it. And the outcome of that can only be two... it's banned or it's legalised. And TBH, I struggle to see how such a thing could be policed if it were banned... it'd be as stupid as trying to ban fielders from sucking mints.

One thing i want to know is why Francis was visting the Murali fans site. Unless your a biased Sri Lankan i can't see why you would want to visit that site. He seems to visit that site a fair bit for whatever reason.
Also on Gilly gloves they will get banned sooner or later, they are basically just performance enhansing. Its siginifcant like other things, but the main purpose in having them is to provide an extra benefit while batting, which previously wasn't avialable. Its not as if its there for comfort or extra protection.

Another thing I forgot to mention is that it's odd people are saying Gilchrist was out of form, and now he's in-form because of the glove... as if all those cleanly hit shots came from a glove. Gilchrist has good days from time to time. |
