Good changes all round imo

The article suggested the rule about batsmen crossing was unnecessary. But it removes the confusion of umpires having to assess if players crossed, or the batsmen manipulating the rule to get the right player on strike next ball.

Increases the value of a wicket in the death overs of a short form game which I think is smart. Also increases the chances of hat tricks and double hat tricks.

LOL

Said it before, will say it again. It needs a snazzy new name. A Super hat-trick, or Uber hat-trick. Hat-trick ultra/mega/zooper-dooper

 

[Dazzler9]

I've got it, at last.

A Back-to-back-trick

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

What are the odds Warner is given the ball just to Mankad someone?

 

[Ochre]

I've got it, at last.

A double hat-trick

Love it

England will find some way to sweat a sugary substance.

 

[Dazzler9]

Suncream and brylcreem still viable options.

Zampa is killing us.

Turner would have to be just about the worst players of spin (for a batsman) that I've ever seen.

Is there a less likeable head in world cricket than Ben Dwarshuis?? I think not

 

[Spoon_Man]

The tail wag is strong in our team..

225 doesn't look like enough. Hopefully we get early wickets.

Do these teams still have bubbles or could we have flown Stoinis over yesterday?

 

[RookiePick]

Hardie doing the business after a tight start from the openers. Dare to dream?

Listen to Julian, Clark and Border talk about the IPL auction and analytics is lowering my IQ at an alarming rate.

Hazlewood dropped to bring in Swepson.

How great a difference in quality between two steamers does there have to be before bowling left arm ("it's a point of difference") isn't worth it?

Warnie is turning in his grave.

They reckon this pitch will reverse which would give Starc an edge I reckon

 

[RookiePick]

Could be in business if we break this partnership soon...

Not to mention he's handy with the bat.

Sad how the Mercantile Mutual/ING/Ford Ranger/Matador/Marsh Cup has fallen so far off its now neutral ground on a Friday afternoon.

Anyway WA bowling. NSW need 38 off 57 with 3 wickets in the shed.

Can't figure out why Short is bowling an over here, we can finish it off with the front line pacers.

 

[ashley12]

And he bowled a second and went for runs zzzzz
