Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

“Rishabh has been making a fine recovery. He has started to take on deliveries with a speed excess of 140 kmph. We all are delighted with the way he has been crossing every hurdle in his recovery. He is keeping well. His next target will be to focus on larger and quicker body movements, which we aim to achieve in the next couple of months,” a source at the NCA told RevSportz.

Durham playing Yorkshire in a 2nd XI game at Scarborough today. Haydon Mustard playing for Durham. One of the umpires is Phil Mustard...his father.

Could be interesting if there is an LBW appeal. :D
Subhash Modi once gave his son Hitesh out lbw in an ODI vs. Bangladesh [/G.S. Kohli]

Yeah I was thinking Slats should open in that team. And didn't pretty much the entire Pakistan pace attack get arrested with Wasim?

Random cricket things you've only recently realised - Umpires always signal to each other after the 4th ball of an over that there are 2 left.

How long have they been doing this for without me spotting it? Or is it a relatively new thing?

And what happens if the 5th ball is a wide or no ball, do they do it again?

They do that in club cricket as well. They have since I've been playing. Depends on the umps though I've come across a few who don't

Been doing it as long as I can remember.

Unrelated, this is a decent yarn

Big Trump energy:


“I don’t know whether it’s just that I’m lucky or whether it’s because people know my thoughts on racism and the stances I’ve taken, or the time I’ve spent with Nelson Mandela.

He tapped me on the shoulder and said to me, ‘You’re my hero’. He said, ‘When I was incarcerated we knew you’d taken a stance against South Africa and apartheid’. I spent a lot of time with him. I shared dressing rooms with one of the Indian greats in Sunil Gavaskar [and] Hallam Moseley, Joel Garner, Viv Richards, Richie Richardson — all these people — and I’d stand here now and say, ‘You find someone that says I’m racist’, because there isn’t anyone out there. You cannot generalise as that document does and you have to be really careful.”
