    Which Asian all time xi is the strongest?

    I'm saying don't pick any of them

    Which Asian all time xi is the strongest?

    Just Vaas tbh. Why pick a useless seamer that is going to do **** all against an opposition ATG side anyway. If the bowling options are bad just go #batdeep and pick Vaas, Murali and a bunch of part-timers to make up the overs. Mathews, Samaraweera, Jayasuriya, de Silva, Dilshan etc. Add Herath...

    Doesn't matter who you pick they're not good

    I'd say Angelo Matthews has aged like milk but that would be an insult to milk. Bloke looks like he's been through 3 divorces

    Did it with an untampered ball though

    *Official* Australia limited overs tour of Scotland and England 2024

    There's been so many upsets from associates in world events that we forget a lot of them are glorified grade cricketers. But Brandon McMullen looks every bit an international cricketer, and a good one. Class bat and while his gentle outswingers don't look like they should be effective, he...

    He's always been bad. His selection is a joke based on pretend cricket

    Would have to consult the latest DSM to categorise Maxwell's mental state

    I would support that not because I think Smith needs to move back down, but because Head needs a refreshing role after a bad few Test series

    Don't think so. The whole point of the tactic itself is to catch the batsman when they're not ready. The law specifically states "if the striker is not ready for the delivery of the ball". If they pull away, they clearly weren't ready, why else would they do it?

    Could be wrong, but I wouldn't be surprised if the umpires were clued in beforehand. Seemed like the Aussies might have checked with them like "if we pull away it will be a dead ball, right"? Otherwise it's a pretty big risk to do it and risk being given out for virtually no gain

    Fair enough. Law says it's not out though. So does common sense for me. Otherwise I don't see why he pulls away if he's ready.

    when he gets to the crease I guess. I'm not saying it should be called a no ball, but it clearly shouldn't have been given out
  16. TheJediBrah

    *Official* Australia limited overs tour of Scotland and England 2024

    Why would they do that though? If you're the umpire and the batsman pulls away immediately you have to assume they're not ready

    Most overrated match performances

    Being mentally feeble/unable to adapt to high pressure is a type of softness, as is what you're talking about, just giving up easily or not trying

    It was clearly a plan. Not sure why though. It's a pretty harmless tactic which is why you don't see it much. You see it in local cricket a bit, I remember doing myself as a kid. Also if you know it's coming I don't see where the threat is. If I were them I'd just let him do it and take...

    The other obvious question is that if the batsmen were ready, then why did they pull away? They wouldn't. If they had played a shot and got out, then tried to day they weren't ready then "out" would be right call, in these cases both within the laws of the game and using common sense, not so

    As I said above, just because the batsman is looking up doesn't mean they're ready
