How is he disadvantaged? Any rule change would have to specify that the stumps must be visibly moved.

I usually do if they actually clearly are upcoming, rather than merely young.Nice to see you have good things to say about up and coming players too

I feel he's always been undervalued over here. I remember predicting he'd have a gun WC and got scoffed at

First wicket for Swann and first dismissal for Mustard, then.

The idea is for the bails to be removed by the ball, be it a direct hit or with a player holding the ball. If the bails have been removed, be it deliberate or not without the use of the ball than IMO the batsman is disadvantaged if they are allowed to be dismissed without the bails being on the stumps.

Nah, Younis Khan is terrible in ODIs. Just dissect his record a bit and you'll realise how poor he is, especially when compared to the success he has had in ODI cricket.I feel he's always been undervalued over here. I remember predicting he'd have a gun WC and got scoffed at. Similar story with Younis Khan in ODIs.
TBH I never really rated Jayawardene as an ODI bat, always seemed to look good at the crease but rarely got the scores against good teams. I remember saying he was rubbish, right before he played that knock in the World Cup. Asking for a Greigy really

Agree completely with Ritchie TBH, too many people are too quick to build-up superb Test players such as Younis and Mahela in ODIs despite them being actually wholly average.
Mahela was average for most of his ODI career - like Hayden - but has actually seemed to take his game to another level in recent times.

Every time we look like we are getting on top we lose a bloody wicket. Really need a big innings here from someone to get more then a decent total.

Khan is not terrible and I don't care for dissecting records much, he may not be the best player in the world but that doesn't make him terrible or any other of the extreme adjectives that get thrown around here. Both players might not be as good in the shorter format or great players but they are still class and very, very far from terrible however you determine the stats.

It can only be so if you find ODIs so as a rule. Don't get much more interesting ODI cricket than this IMO, just perhaps a little surprising that the identity of the bowlers is such.

Its not Twenty20...
No crowd makes the game seem boring really. Need atmosphere in these limited over matches.

I know you don't care much for dissecting records. I'll do it for you - after about 100 ODIs, Younis Khan averages about 26. This is not merely not-the-best-in-The-World, it's terrible. No other adjective.
No-one deserves to play that many ODIs while doing so abysmally.

Really? How is it interesting? Nothing is happening. Its just one big drift

Wonder why there's such a small crowd...
Haha, Collingwood wided for bowling a Bouncer - Beevs will be spitting at that presumably.

That's what you'd perceive it as if you don't like this sort of thing. What is to you a "big drift" is to me interesting cat-and-mouse.
Of course, I reckon a better attack than this would be keeping a much slower scoring-rate on a surface like this.

What happens when you play cricket in the off season, stupid schedule.

He's terrible in comparison to how he seems to be rated, if that makes sense. They are class players, no doubt, otherwise they wouldn't be playing at Test or ODI level. But compared to their team mates and opposition players, they aren't really that good, and Younis Khan is terrible.
