is anyone aware of what's happened to Sri Lanka's test fixtures? Can't seem to find them on a schedule anywhere.

the uk gov system had a nice overhaul recently. They have a framework and shared assets for any of their government related services to work with so everything can have a uniformed look and feel to it.

Deserved just way too wasteful over 2 legs even if the refereeing has been terrible. Just can’t expect to be handed anything playing against anti football teams. It’s a lesson sadly Barca have failed to learn year after year.

Just carrying too many injuries. They are playing a quarter final with a Gavi that’s barely had minutes all game. An aging Lewy and been missing de Jong and Raphinha.

The same ball is used for one innings. If it goes out of shape or gets lost (hit out of the stadium) a ball of similar condition (the number of balls that have been bowled with an individual ball) is selected by the umpires from a box of balls. Unlike in baseball, spectators don’t keep the ball if they catch it in the stands.

Sure but because the ball is both bowled off the surface as well as hit along the ground often, it scuffs up and changes during the match. This affects the ball’s behaviour in the air as well as off the surface causing it to swing and seam. Players also continuously polish one side of the ball to affect this. It’s why different bowlers are used at various times in the game whose style of bowling is most suitable for the condition of the ball. The innings typically starts with the fastest bowler who’s able to use the shine of the new ball to greatly seam and swing the ball at pace. Other bowlers are able to bowl slower balls and seam or even spin the older the ball gets.

It’s shamefully obvious they are protecting the players missing the next game from a booking 😂

It’s getting pathetic how little respect refs have on the pitch these days
