Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

[Howe_zat]

Moeen got two wickets on Saturday which both had to be reviewed before being given. Maybe umpires have a problem with him

Always amusing seeing Umar Akmal whining about his treatment.

Dear Umar;

You're a lazy git and your attitude is appalling.

Signed, anyone with a brain.

Just watched the 1989 Ashes highlights to see all of Geoff Lawson's wickets.

The cricket world really missed out by not seeing more Lawson.

Not surprisingly, a very good piece of self-analysis from Mike Brearley in The Times. A short excerpt from his latest book.

Paywalled unfortunately.

Apologies for that.

You can get two free articles a week without signing up to pay for anything apparently. Was how I got onto the article.

Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere. It's quality however you look at it.

What if scenario:

- Batsman gets hit on the pad and appeal for lbw
- Batsman looks for run and fielder runs him out, meanwhile umpire has given him out lbw
- Gets reviewed by DRS and decision changed to Not Out
What happens? Does his dismissal just get changed to run out? Does the batsman get to stay because the ball was dead when he was run out? Depends on when the umpire gave him out in relation to him being run out?

Seems like it could be controversial

If it involves the batsman being out, I'm for it.

I saw a feature yesterday where Saurav Ganguly selected all time India XIs for test and ODI. He selected himself the captain of both teams. LOL. He had Kapil, Gavaskar, Dhoni etc to pick captains from. What a megalomaniac.

Don't think Gambir will return -Indian team bench strength is strong!

It's a dead ball isn't it? Actually happened in the World Cup (albeit the non-striker was run out) and the umpires ****ed up.

I don't think Ganguly as India's all time Test Captain is particularly controversial.

In that case you'd be pissed off as the fielding side wouldn't you? You should have had that guy out run out if the umpire just left it and gave it not out.

Lmfao only Ganguly would do something like that. I've never seen a player pick themselves in a hypothetical "best of" team let alone decide to make themselves the captain.

As far as I know It's a dead ball as soon as the umpire gave him out lbw, so anything that happens after that is null and void. So at the end of all of that the batsmen would be not out..........I think.

Bradman picked himself in his "Dream XI" (which seems fair enough).

 

[mr_mister]

The bloke who asked Bradman to make his own XI(Roland Perry)told him he had to put himself at 3

 

[AndrewB]

Even fairer enough, then.

Shouldn't have appealed, then.

What if the run out occurs before the lbw is given out, then overturned?
