Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

Lol how did an error that big go unspotted for almost five months. Fine work from cricinfo. It's Thando Ntini (Makhaya's son) per cricbuzz.
I was about to make a comment about it not saying much for the quality of SA inter-provincial cricket.

https://www.cricinfo.com/cricketers/makhaya-ntini-46592 Anyone know why Ntini randomly unretired and played a List-A game in 2026 15 years after his last game? Took a decent 3fer as well looks like.

Nope that was his son whose first name is Masimphuthando, so also written as 'M Ntini' just like his dad. Just goes to show how little IPLinfo actually cares about getting things right in tournaments it doesn't consider important enough, coz I've been noticing this for months and it's still there

Cheating Poms. Typical

Surprised umpire Cozza didn't pick up the sound wasn't coming from the bat tbh. Standards typically poor.

Was the underarm incident cheating?

It was against the spirit of the game.
But it was not illegal under laws of cricket at the time.

The Bairstow incident shouldn't have been on there. He was dumb as **** and I never thought 'spirit of cricket' came into the equation. I have always also thought that people whining about running out the non striker for backing up too far are imbeciles because if anything it is the batsman who is cheating.

That said, the underarm stuff was dreadful and thankfully was outlawed soon after.
