Cricket returning to normal

[Tom Flint]

I'd hope my others would let Middlesex keep our fees if needed

 

[Shady Slim]

wouldn't be the worst idea

i’d like to see this too tbh, though i would also like to give the kookaburra the chance with more competitive pitches which we seemed to see last summer

I think all the county clubs would struggle to refund membership fees

The Dukes helps all types of bowlers though. Even the spinners seem to prefer it. I would rather play with a ball that gives more to the bowlers and hopefully at least return a little bit to letting wickets retain their nature based on the season and the geography etc.

don't bring in the duke everywhere. it's funny watching england bowl dross overseas then whine they don't have a duke ball.

India planning 3 T20is in South Africa for late August it seems

 

[honestbharani]

I hope all precautions are taken if it does go ahead but boy, we do need the distraction of sport right now...

If only Vanuatu's live streams worked

I believe that India's tour of Australia may go ahead.

Tom, if cricket returns to normal, do you think Steve Smith will remit to his habit of deliberately leaving the ball in a way which is designed to put the bowler off his game, even though by the time he does it the bowler has already let go of the ball?

 

[Tom Flint]

Yep

 

[Burgey]

ok

I would like to see the visitors pick the ball. Would help negate home advantage and make for greater variety in similar conditions.

An interesting idea! I like it!

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has published guidelines for the safe resumption of cricket to assist its Members in restarting cricket activity in their countries as government restrictions owing to COVID-19 start to relax.
“ICC Back to Cricket Guidelines” is a comprehensive document developed by the ICC Medical Advisory Committee in consultation with Member Medical Representatives, and provides guidance for the safe resumption of community cricket, domestic professional cricket and international cricket.

The guidelines do not provide answers to when the game can resume in different parts of the world, rather it provides a framework with practical suggestions on how members can resume cricket in a manner that protects against the risk of transmission of infection with the COVID-19 virus.

The ICC advises its Members to use these guidelines as the basis to create their own policies for return to cricket activity in compliance, in all cases, with local and national government regulations (which should always take precedence) and to ensure the cricket community applies the necessary safety measures when resuming cricket.

The ICC is leaving no doubt with regards to their stance on who is to blame for all this. Literally the first sentence in their newly released medical guidelines is:

"The COVID-19 (CV-19) virus emerged in Wuhan China in early December 2019 and has resulted in a World Health Organisation (WHO) declared pandemic that has upended all areas of life, and cricket is no exception"

lol
