Like for like injury replacements

I'm not sure that's quite the same

Why? If we are talking about Jordan replacing a player are we fully aware of every niggling injury possibly carried by the replaced player? Didn't Jordan replace Malan who subsequently missed games?

Funny

Line and Length is really reaching here, any further and might nick behind

Buttler’s done that for us already

Weak thread

You need to ramp it up to Flintoff level sledging.

Nah

Lillee did that on one tour in 1981 while he was recovering from pneumonia, and the Poms complained about it. As is their wont.

Taking a fielder off for no injury-related reason and replacing them with a substitute is shabby tstl.

I remember Lillee frequently going off for breaks at the WACA in the '70s.

Who was the fielder taken off 'for no injury-related reason'? Do you have inside information from the England medicos?

I don’t need inside information Ffs. There was a game earlier in the tourney where Livingstone (iirc) bowled his spell then conveniently disappeared for the balance of the innings.

Was curiously fit to play the next game

Livingstone is a good fielder

Maybe he was only fit to play the next game because we provided him with emergency treatment immediately

Well I believe he was replaced by Jordan for the balance of the innings after he finished bowling

Your face needs immediate emergency treatment

Are you following me?

Situations being exploited is how rules are changed and updated. Dennis Lillee popping off for a shower between spells is why the rule on bowlers having to be back on the field for a period of time before being allowed to bowl evolved, as other bowlers inevitably copied him. England managed to exploit the then existing rule in 2005 with a rotating sub fielder giving the fast bowlers a quick rest each without going over the time limit. I think sub fielder Gary Pratt appearing on the open top bus parade for the England players after the series win probably hastened a tweak to the rules.

Pratt was MOTS for England in 2005

Yeah not the bloke passing 400 runs and 20 wickets for the series

This site has always been full of trolls, but I get banned sometimes for ages. It's just funny at this point to me and I am just awaiting to get banned for nothing again.
