Lokomotiv's Proposed Changes to Cricket

[mr_mister]

just noticed this topic. so has this dude spent 2 years playing a character with bad english who doesn't understand cricket? lol

Lokomotiv banned?! Where's the big announcement of that'n? I feel like I should raise some trite questions on his behalf. Could moderation be delivered better if it was done inside of a box? In Uzbekistan all moderation is provided by the President and no boxes are allowed.

In the Ban Announcements thread.

To be fair it was originally quite amusing. But the idea of a good wind up is knowing when to stop.

Loko, the problem with changing the size of cricket grounds is that different nations have different circumstances when deciding on their ground sizes.

For example, in Australia they have very big cricket grounds to compensate for their small wangs. In NZ we don't suffer the same shortcomings so our grounds are very small.

It's a sensitive cultural issue and I would ask that you please respect that.

Changing the size of cricket grounds means 2 cases--enlarging or narrowing. Enlarging is sometimes impossible, but narrowing is always possible.
As far as I remember, the ICC's minimum standard for WCL was enlarged in 2007, right? The minimum standard must be narrowed for having same size grounds for all official competitions.

By the way, I could not contact the moderators. I sent them an email, but

So what is the email address of the moderators?

In the limited-over games, the fielding first side has advantage. Right?

In American Baseball, Catchers normally wear male protection (prick guard), because sometimes foul balls hit Catchers' pricks.

How many pricks does the average baseball catcher have?

Unfortunately, there has not been any statistic research about that.

Oh, I did not know that "prick" is a very informal word. It must be "penis guard".

My word. I think you are some 35 year old troll from England or Australia. That conclusion is after reading 100s of your posts.

I think Loko is someone we know better by another name, but best not speculate as to who

 

[wellAlbidarned]

I feel so honoured he's still got the avatar I suggested for him

 

[OverratedSanity]

GTFO

Still one of the all time great moments.

Is that an admission?

The Ashes should be played by Lashings, (Rugby Union-style) Barbarians, British-Irish Lions, Australasian Dolphins (or Whales), etc.
And I am still interested in the fact that there are 2 Wicket-Keepers in Kilikiti. ICC should consider increase of the number of fielding players in order to make taking wickets easier.

 

[fredfertang]

How many fielders would you recommend?
