    Reading the ICC Playing Conditions (rather than just pointlessly speculating) that replace Law 21.2-3, the umpire can only call a delivery on the field if it "does not correspond to the bowler’s normal bowling action." This reads to me as being for one-off deliberate deliveries. In Kuhnemann's...

    I'll have to take your word for it given I don't have access to full stats and cannot reconcile those figures with those I can find, but including 'minor' matches isn't good practice. After all, it could very well include the PM's XI match against England in 1963. -Edit- Incidentally, some of...

    Interesting take on Bradman's concentration levels.

    I don't think that's right. Averaged 110 in the Sheffield Shield, and I doubt the other first-class matches played in Australia at the time (vs Tassie or WA, select XI's, etc.) would have changed that much.

    **Official** 5th Test at Sydney, 3-7 Jan 2025

    I have always been sceptical of the explanation that 'the fingers are actually under the ball, it's just foreshortening' when it comes to these sorts of decisions. However, that decision would be out according to the standards by which such catches have been almost always judged.
