Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

if there is a no ball bowled to a batsman on his first delivery and he scores, what then is his strike rate?

Mathematically it would be infinity I believe; in cricket practice I thnk it would be represented as if he had faced one delivery.

 

[ajdude]

silly question but i usually have no idea when it comes to this sort of stuff. australia bowled 75 overs on the first day with bulk interruptions. say without interruptions, a team somehow gets through their 90 overs with like an hour to spare in the day's play, they just end it at the 90 overs yeah?

 

[Spikey]

it's minimum 90 overs. You can bowl 150 in a day if you're quick enough i believe

/r/cricket is usually pretty ordinary but I liked this guy's analysis of the best moving averages. Very thorough

i've been looking for that 80 innings list forever. i remember someone did something to that before but i could never track it down

A no ball counts as a ball faced.

Cricket monthly's list of the 50 greatest test performances of the last 50 years was interesting. Some bad omissions, like no McCullum 302, but the writeups are excellent.

don't say that too loudly in front of any mathmaticians. Dividing by zero is undefined, not infinity.

I wish Cricinfo would add a timer on your match centre saying xx:xx hours to start of play. Instead they have the timings of the match in a tiny corner and I have to look up South Africa's timezone on Google.

It tells you the current local time in the Summary tab.. but it doesn't tell you session start times in that tab.

 

[Pratters]

It does tell in how much time matches are starting below each upcoming game in the top right corner.

Can't find it. Do you mean under the 'Live' tab on the top right of the homepage? Mine is currently showing no matches there for some reason.

 

[Pratters]

Yeah under the live tab. Try changing your location country (on the website, not in reality).

Current Eng-SA match got me thinking. Double declarations have happened in cricket. Let's say after four tests and four days of the final test, series is tied 1-1. Would it be okay if the teams mutually decide to bat half the available overs each on the final day as they both want to win the series?

Only if a leather jacket isn't involved.

Didn't understand the context.

Does Singapore really need Daemon?

When did countries other than Australia start wearing coloured clothing?

Just saw this and forgot Pakistan wore blue that year

The green at the top was common to all three teams, and so Pakistan had to wear a different colour at the bottom to maintain the two-colour scheme.
