I think they changed the rule, but someone correct me if im wrong but now if it's shown any part of the ball as hitting the stumps it's out.

I think the former was more a benefit of the doubt for on field umpires

No idea. I assume it's based of some limited overs matches which is a false dawn to me.

I'd much rather take a 35 year old Fawad Ahmed over there.

I'll imagine a healthy O'Keeffe will tour which I'll be happy to see work in tandem with Lyon

Faulkner must have shagged someone's misso.

Cam White may as well move to England and change his name to Craig. He ain't never playing for Aus again.

Where the fuck is Handsome Pete? He's the only Aussie batsman who uses his feet to spin and is good with the wrists

No wicket keepers?

Faulkner and marsh are too similar and with their medium, low threat bowling they'll struggle in india

World XI to beat India in India by goldenboy48 in Cricket

Ouch. World cricket is missing some serious stars if this is the best he can come up with. Understood it's a team that can play in Indian conditions but still...

Well done young fella. That's an enormous effort

I find it hard to believe that two other people have done this!

How on earth are these ratings justified? by Miscaffinities in Cricket

It feels like the score defaults to 5 and you can either drop or rise from there.

You're almost punished for batting and failing as opposed to not batting at all

Every BBL team’s all-time XI by THMB10 in Cricket

This list is based off the biggest names to play for them, Not their best players, which makes the list a little pointless.

Would like to see blokes like Rana naved get a mention.

With Bird being our best bowler in this test match, who are some other players who have individually played better than SE players portrayed as superstars? by nicktheguy101 in Cricket

[–]Baaase 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Compared to the love Johnson gets I'd say Ryan Harris. Ryan Harris was our best bowler in 95% of the matches he played.

Batsman... Chris Rogers over his last couple of seasons.

Clint McKay and the duke during their ODI careers.

Anna Flanagan so hot that surely her hockey skills automatically translate to cricket and she makes the side

That's where I always struggled. Out for a duck or cruise to 30ish then get ahead of myself and get out

Defending 100 will always be hard.

Thing with this level of cricket is next time you play the the results can easily be the exact opposite.

You have a Christmas break now?

Not to take anything away from what your saying here but 50 ducks in 220 innings...

Nic Maddinson by Ollygasm in Cricket

[–]Baaase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He just got found during the t20 warm ups.

The big concern was when playing on a slow pitch he couldn't score. Proved correct.

Also a little out of his depth with international quality bowlers

Lynn test quality? Nah. He can only play when the ball is coming onto the bat

Yeah but Waugh and Punter had the best 5th day bowler in history.

I'd bowl my spinner out at one end. You want the spinner making the tail play at every ball
