[uvelocity]

an interesting turn of events indeed

 

[sledger]

Sledger is clearly an anime loving ****. Bet he goes to cosplays and ****. Worst ****.

Wanna fight about it?

 

[NUFAN]

Lokomotiv, can you please confirm if the famous 4 balls in baseball was correct too or was that an error in a Japanese book too? If correct, do you have any video footage of it?

Do you mean this batter?

Yes, I can confirm this is a real one, taken from the High School Baseball national competition this year.
And I want to see an exhibition Cricket game in which Baseball bats are used.
And as for balls, I think that the Japan-born gum-ball would be good for amateurs and children, because there would be no necessity for guards .

This thread is a load of balls.

 

[Lokomotiv]

I have a question. Possibly my question sounds strange, but answer me in a logical way.
What do you think about 4-ball over and "maiden out" rule (in the case of maiden, the striker is out)?

What if a leg bye was scored half way through a maiden over, so that both batsmen had the strike. Would they both be out?

Oh, I had misunderstanding.
If a leg bye was scored, is the over still maiden? I did not understand that.
I meant "in the case of no run in 1 over, the Batsman in the last ball of the over is out".

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Runs of byes are attributed to the keeper. Maidens are based of runs scored of the bowler.

Load of bollocks.

No deal.

 

[Esperance]

i think a 1 ball over should be incorporated into the current cricket paradigm.

 

[Smudge]

i think a 1 ball over should be incorporated into the current cricket paradigm.

Would improve over rates considerably.

 

[Lokomotiv]

"LAWS 22-1
ボールの数

試合前の合意に基づき、1オーバー6球もしくは8球で各ウィケットから交互に投球される。"

It does say an over is 6 (or 8) balls. (Depending on what was agreed upon before the match)

E: And now I see it has already been pointed out..........

I still have my case.

What do you think about my suggestion below?

In limited-over games: 1 over is always 6 balls.
In Tests: 1 over is normally 6 balls, but it can be 8 balls when there is agreement between two sides.

 

[fredfertang]

I do admire your tenacity mate, you hang on to your ideas like grim death in a manner that befits a true scotsman, but the length of the over is surely the least important issue facing cricket in the second decade of the 21st century

 

[GIMH]

Balls above 90mph to be declared no-balls. To be applied retrospectively to any matches in the last month.

I want serious discussions... please do not write such things.

By the way, I am not very familiar with the Laws. Please tell me about no-balls and wide-balls. In the case of too many no-balls/wide-balls, is there any punishment for that Bowler?

Yes Corrin do be serious - the way we're batting it would need to 80 not 90
