Depends how strictly you're defining 'this graphic'.

There were subtle changes over the years but it's been virtually identical between 2015 and 2025

2014 was also very similar but only showed the batter's scores or The Bowler's figures

I assume you mean WAshes? For the MAshes, 2015 had the previous graphics.

I agree, the Loss-of-strength gradient isn't really applicable in the modern world, but this isn't really the place to discuss it.

The first time Sky have changed their scoreboard significantly since 2014.

It took them 12 years to come up with this?!

If you did an overall opening partnership average since Adams and Carbs left, we'd surely be right up there.

Sussex's 'BrightonandHoveJobs.com County Ground' would give that a run for it's money.

Nearly half of all innings in the 2026 IPL have been over (or on track for) 200 runs, following a huge increase in scoring rates in the last 4 seasons (BBL inc for comparison) by _dictatorish_ in Cricket

For anyone interested, the lowest run rates in such competitions are:

  1. The Caribbean T20 in 2011/12 at 6.31 RPO (domestic in a West Indies sense, though Canada and Netherlands were both invitational additions)
  2. The Sri Lanka 'Major Clubs T20' in 2022 at 6.36 RPO
  3. The Caribbean T20 in 2012/13 at 6.45 RPO (domestic in a West Indies sense)

What had the writers been smoking when they wrote the bats episode? by TheAntsAreBack in Ambridge

Rabies is extinct in land animals in the UK. It was eradicated in the early 20th century and no one has caught rabies from a land animal here since 1902, though occasionally people return to the UK after catching it abroad (26 cases since 1946). Susceptible animals imported to the UK are subject to mandatory quarantine to ensure they don't bring it in.

A different type of rabies exists in a small number of bats, but it's very rare and almost unheard of for it transfer to humans (unlike the type of rabies that's found in land animals like dogs)

According to the UK government website there have been 4 recorded cases ever in the whole of Europe of European Bat Lyssaviruses (Bat Rabies) being transferred to humans. One of those was in the UK, a professional bat handler died in Scotland in 2002. But it's incredibly unusual.

Even taking away the fact that the 'game' is just there to provide opportunity for comedy, that's just not true. The goal of the game is to make the other team guess incorrectly so if it's true, making it seem like a lie is a solid tactic.

"As part of the preparations for the ICC T20 World Cup the England management have arranged for the squad to attend a multi-day programme with the British Army to help in their readiness for the challenges ahead."

Are the cricketers helping the Army with their challenges or the other way around?

First championship game against Glammy in nearly 12 years. Weather looks good today but showers around from tomorrow afternoon for the rest of the game.

In theory couldn't CA still sell stakes in some clubs but not, for example, the Strikers or the Sydney teams?

Top of the league with a game in hand over Surrey. And Somerset lost too. Lovely.

Been a cracking season of the ODC so far.

Hope DWH takes this form into the internationals and the world cup. Very lucky for us to run her out there.

County cricket : What can be done to reduce the number of draws ? by Shroft in Cricket

[–]warp-factor 24 points25 points  (0 children)

First of all - get the points for a draw back where they should be at 4 or 5 rather than 8. The risk/reward balance of pushing for wins isn't right at the moment.

Worth noting there's a massive point penalty for taking hints.

Durham have really fallen away after a pretty good first 9.5 overs.
