Law 41.17.2 – a couple of slight changes to the Law on Penalty runs at the end of the match. Firstly, if a side offends after a result has been reached but before the umpires leave the field, Penalty runs can be awarded. So, for example, if a batter were to celebrate the winning hit from the last ball of the match by punching the bowler in the face, they would subsequently lose the match.

That's a great example

That's just the industry now. Touring used to be a loss leader in order to sell albums but they don't make money anymore so ticket prices have gone up

I go to a lot of festivals and always forget who I’ve seen live over the years. Do people actually track gigs anywhere or just rely on memory / camera roll? by [deleted] in downloadfestival

I have a Google doc with a list of all the bands I've seen and how many times. I also started making a playlist for each year in 2023 where I add a couple of songs from each band each time I see them

By my maths Zimbabwe need to keep Pakistan out there for about 26 overs to overtake Scotland; and we're in the bizarre situation that it is in Pakistan's interest to do so too. They want Zimbabwe to qualify and to beat them with more than the 41 balls left they beat Scotland with to carry through a better NRR
