They can't win the WC without Dhoni. Problem is that there isn't a ground in India big enough for all those egos...
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Milhanna13 - 03-18-2019
I doubt any batting or bowling in India or Dubai will be very relevant to the UK or Wales.

Not sure about that - England now play 2 spinners (plus JERoot) at all times.... and their bats like the spinners. Look for most of the wickets (aside from Headingly etc) to turn....

I think it's fair to question the relevance, the UK's worst pitch will look lush compared to most subcontinent tracks. The ball will last longer and stay in better condition throughout the innings, the bounce of the pitches is significantly different even if they turn square, and the UK curators won't throw out considerations for the likes of an Anderson just to make life easier for a Root!
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - LP - 03-25-2019
Mankad or no mankad?
I don't see why the batsmen can be stumped but the non-striker is free to move off down the pitch with seemingly impunity!
Bowlers get no-balled for creeping a millimeter past the crease!
The media are focused on the specific mankad delivery, what about the other 40 or 50 deliveries Butler was the non-striker?

Seems to be a fair bit of outrage.
"not really cricket" apparently
but looking at it from an objective (non-cricket person) point of view I see it as rather arrogant that you can set off before the ball is bowled.
Out every time if you get caught doing in baseball and don't get back.
It's like running around the man on the mark and getting upset because the umpire calls play on.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - LP - 03-26-2019
They have a full-time video Ref in these comps now.
Change the International T20 / ODI rules to make it a short run if the non-striker leaves the crease before the ball is released, and it will stop overnight!
Otherwise for all other levels of the game I find the rule is fine.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 03-26-2019
Imagine if an Aussie did that.

The batsman is “cheating” by leaving his crease early and a run out in those circumstances shouldn’t result in an outcry.
Interestingly, apart from Warne, most former Australian Test cricketers think it is fine. The “To and Froms” are outraged
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - JonHenry - 03-26-2019
Never understood the outrage over Mankad.
The line at one end of the pitch surely is just as important as the line at the other.
Warne is proving himself a complete flog once again and should not talk about spirit of the game as if he holds some moral high ground.
Drugs and gambling?
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - PaulP - 03-26-2019
You can't blame the players for playing to the rules. If there's a problem with the rules, then the Laws of the Game committee(s) need to sort it out. It's their job.
The furore over the Trevor Chappell underarm incident is the same. The amount that bloke has suffered is ridiculous for simply following orders and following the laws. What a crock.
