ICC announce ODI law changes

I was being ironic in saying "shoot me". That is all.

Anyway, this is crazy, and there's been a bit of it recently, so this'll be my last post on the matter.

hahaha....I just want you to know that there is a difference between irony and sarcasm.

And I do hope you really don't think I thought 'Oh Richard wants me to shoot him'

I agree, 'nuff said on this one

I may have said this before, if so I will say this again, are you sure you aren't American?

I broke my rule, but then... so what?

No, I didn't think said aforementioned.

In the UK,there is a bit of a stereotype about Americans not really understanding the concept of irony. It's rubbish of course

 

[Richard]

As Manan's case quite clearly demonstrates.

Clearly. I iron my clothes as much as the next bloke.

How does the action effect the likelihood of no-balls?

I would think someone who jumps a little more in the air has a higher likelihood of bowling no-balls. I have to admit I have never dissected Nel's action because I haven't felt the need to, but it seems like he just steams through without really propelling his body in the air too much. Seems harder to bowl a no-ball because he doesn't really have to time a jump.

 

[Richard]

Oh, yeah, certainly, the bigger the delivery stride the higher the likelihood of overstepping. But there are plenty of bowlers who don't jump, too, and not all bowl no-balls as rarely as Nel.

Something that's on a tangent but Ranadeb Bose, the Indian fast bowler selected for the England tour sent down 10500 First Class deliveries in 2006-2007 season, And 2100 deliveries in List A games, and bowled 0 no balls.

Already mentioned, TBH.

Haha, shot down.
