The dismissal reminded me moreso of the Gibbs wicket in the 99 World Cup than the Gatting ball.

Mark Waugh was a star for the Aussies with the bat, bowl and in the field. Though I appreciate the topic starter suggesting his test batting stats arguably don't reflect what they may have been. I find it interesting to compare Mark Waugh with Greg Matthews. Both players surprisingly averaged...

Looks like extra time will be played...

Does this get a full match replay or are they likely to be playing extra time at the moment?

Thanks mate. I haven't been aware of this rule throughout the whole season. Thus the Vics need to not have a worse match result than Queensland to make the Final.

Sorry for my ignorance but how does a Victoria loss and Queensland draw elevate Qld above Vic?

I gather that the live ladder has the Vics 1.02 points in front. Therefore the Queenslanders will need to make 303 (or 302 to tie!) by the 100th over to move to outright second. However with the games in progress the Vics are much more likely to secure the outright result than Queensland which...

Great info. Thanks.

Can anyone confirm whether Ussie was on the ground for the whole match (excluding rain breaks)? Did he go off the ground for any overs whilst we were bowling? I don't recall this happening whilst I've been watching cricket. I remember Mark Taylor in his record breaking match against Pakistan...

One of my favourite cricket stats is that Bevan had a better bowling average than the slightly more famous Aussie leg spinner that he played with.

Great video. Bonus points for Don Scott stopping just short of calling a Roach's goal attempt as being a s..t kick. This match could have been referred to pre-game of the Elimination Final where the team had to win without Quinlan and Rendell.

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned elsewhere though one figure that has been missing in discussing the passing of Shane Warne is the legend Bill Lawry. Bill is 85 years old now and his absence might indicate he isn't in the best of health these days.

The key rules of the sport are that: - Competitors must keep at least one foot in contact with the ground at all times. - Walkers must also keep their their advanced leg straight as their trailing leg moves past it. As stated previously there is a natural 4% flight time in the racewalking gait...

There is a natural 4% 'flight' phase during the racewalkers gait. So whilst both feet are off the ground for short periods this can't be observed to the judges' naked eye, as you say. It doesn't mean the athletes are cheating.

How are they all breaking the rules?
