Neither do you. You can simply stop lying.

What I said was relevant to the thread, and entirely accurate. You raging at the drop of a hat when someone doesn't sure your extreme nationalistic viewpoint and (incredibly unconvincingly) projecting your "butthurt" onto them and your trademark "you're lying, stop lying, you're biased etc" cope isn't relevant, just cringey

The only relevance it has to the thread is its another TJB lie. The fact is Pant was injured during the game and batted with the injury which has been verified by many news articles and player interviews. But you keep peddling lies in the hope that it somehow helps you cope, I suppose.

And **** off with your other accusations, given your history of racist posts. I suppose this kind of lying and projection is your life's mantra as it's full of cope? I guess its kinda funny you would like about those too.

The truth, which was my post. I suppose you would hate that though.

Ok in all seriousness the truth was that India used injury to utilise a substitution that gave them a better keeper than they had in the XI. If we ignore whether it was deliberate, or entirely a coincidence and was the only option available to them, whatever, surely you can see the example it provides as to how the proposed rule could potentially be abused by other teams (not virtuous India of course) right?

No, I mean the fact that you keep lying that this is what happened when batsmen have batted with injury while using substitute fielders forever in test cricket. This rule is not gonna be abused anymore than the other rule and just like the concussion protocol, the match referee and two team physios may well be involved in determining if an injury substitute is required.

One of the things I hate is games becoming 10 V 11 or even 9 V 11 with injuries. I suppose the very odd occassions those teams do trump the odds are great but I dont think it should be at the cost of a fair contest.

Ok I feel like we're getting somewhere. Now by avoiding the scenario of potentially having 10 v 11 or 9 v 11 you run the risk of the rule being misused and becoming 11 v 12.

If Australia picked Travis Head as keeper, he got a sore foot or something so they could sub in a specialist keeper but still have Head bat, they've virtually turned it into a 12 v 11 or 11.5 v 11. Which is still imbalanced.

Even worse if you can sub out a tired fast bowler after the first innings. You could pick a half fit Shoaib Akhtar to go full tilt on day 1 then when he gets "injured" sub in a replacement and you've got a fresh player

I think you underestimate the role the match referee and the two team physios play in such cases. I will give you the Jadeja incident as I think most doctors and physios err on the very high side of caution coz of what the potential effects of concussions can be, but for regular injuries I think the physios will ensure there is no foul game going on.
