This is sigworthy stuff tbh

Don't think it quite tops the weldone one in my sig for awkward stupidity.

 

[Pratters]

Haha yeah technical laws in a game is just the same as human rights

But both can be wrong in their own ways which was the point. I was told its law so doesn't matter if it is right or wrong.

 

[smash84]

Every law ever made has been correct? Maybe you support countries banning gay marriage then.

If a country is banning gay marriage then that is just the law. It isn't "incorrect". No law is "correct".

You can argue about the (un)desirability of certain laws but you can't call them "correct". There is no such thing as a "correct" law.

what McGrath bowled and what Muesli bowled

Brb. Chucking some Muesli.

 

[TheJediBrah]

come on, funny is funny, but you all know Pratters is obviously not saying that "Some laws are illegal", but that "some laws are unethical/should be changed"

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Oh so it's actually about ethics in cricket bowling.

 

[honestbharani]

Bring in velocity. Without it you are just talking in the air without any proof.p

Velocity of what? Unless you are suggesting fast bowlers and spinners rotate their arms in different directions? What about the slower balls of the fast bowlers then? We ban them too? Again, you are the only one where who is talking without any facts to back it up.

 

[Pratters]

The old law didn't want bowlers using the third joint as force because that means a chuck.

Then they said all bowlers bent elbow so started a 15 degree law. So till 15 degrees a bowler can use as much force and 'Chuck'.

The issue is force used, not degrees and it's important to understand this and correct the current laws. Any one who had played cricket understands you cannot bowl the doosra without using the elbow as a force agent. It is not difficult to understand at all but people will continue to not accept it because some how cricket is not as important as prejudices we cloud ourselves with.

and Human Rights, you know...

Forgive me if I don't take seriously a guy who didn't know the difference between anabolic steroids and topical steroid creams.

You cannot "bowl" any ball in cricket without using some force from the elbow. Honestly, you are the only one clouding yourself in amazing denial of basic facts such as this.

well, yes, essentially, silly as it sounds

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

I can actually bowl a doosra with a straight arm.

 

[Shri]

The issue is force used

Thats not how the force works.

 

[honestbharani]

Thats not how the force works.

Give it up, bro. Pratters fell to the dark side ages ago. We just have to accept that he is Darth Pratters now.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Thats not how the force works.

I ****ing hate you so much for quoting my favourite line from that movie in the perfect ****ing situation and that I didn't think of it

 

[OverratedSanity]

Murali's midichlorian count should've been checked imo

 

[Tom Halsey]

Oh so it's actually about ethics in cricket bowling.

Pratters has made himself look silly enough on his own in the last hour or two without putting words into his mouth tbf because, whilst I disagree with his point anyway, that's pretty obviously not what he (or TheJediBrah) is getting at.

 

[Pratters]

Any one who has played cricket knows they cannot bowl the doosra without using the force of the elbow. I don't have issue with the carrom ball but the doosra has to be outlawed. No two ways about it.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Murali's midichlorian count should've been checked imo

no then they'd just change the law on the limit of midichlorian counts to whatever his is so he can keep playing
