My least favorite cricinfo writer. Ridiculously biased

Did you just literally not read the article you posted? That's almost the exact opposite of what he's saying.

 

[trundler]

I just hate everything he writes.

 

[Gnske]

I liked it, I love anything that you can write and read in two minutes.

Best not delve into the politics subbie then.

Reddit occasionally throws up some real gems

This terrible article by Gavaskar:

Followed by this superb rebuttal:

Well worth a read.

Nope.

Isn't there an India tour of England/Ireland thread?

 

[cnerd123]

I can't find it

Thanks for letting me know anyway, have opened the scorecard on a tab

 

[vcs]

Bit selfish of these two, not letting the rest have a bat.

 

[cnerd123]

Almost scoring as quickly here as they did against Rashid Khan

Hope Ireland chase this down.

if you have an obscenely long, um, appendage, could you in theory get millions of runs by
after hitting the ball
stepping out of your crease
dropping anchor at the other crease (one run)
lifting it
and stepping in your crease (two runs)
and repeating the process?

The dude on the other side will have to have the obscenely long appendage too.

Wouldn't the runner have to be similarly endowed?

strong points
i feel if a team found two guys like this the icc could finally justify outlawing the runner, because tbf i imagine the logistics of unsheathing when you are that, er, unwieldy, could be a hassle...
