Sub allowed to keep and bat?

So Denesh Ramdin the wicket-keeper selected for WI duty was injured sometime within the last 24 hours during the training camp and so a replacement has been called up, Carlton Baugh. The controversy here comes from the fact that Baugh was playing in a FC match between Jamaica and T&T. It's now Day 3. Baugh was replaced by another player, Horace Miller. Miller was allowed to keep and is in line to bat also.

Something similar happened in the Roses match we had last year where Pyrah went and bashed out that ton (on the '81 anniversary and at Headingley no less) and we had Ian Wardlaw in the team but Bresnan was named as something or other and when he wasn't picked for the test at Lords replaced Wardlaw sometime later in the match.

I think its to do with national call ups to be honest, a player isn't really expected to turn them down and I might be right in saying that Ramdin is contracted by the WICB so he can't really refuse either as is Baugh.

Its not really controversial just a bit odd.

Fair enough then. Never heard of it before.

It's happened quite often in the County Championship in recent years

Yeah, as well as the Bresnan incident Tom mentioned, Stuart Broad didn't make the line up for a test against SA in 2008, so went from Birmingham to Nottinghamshire and only joined the Notts line up after Lunch.

This happened in the Plunket Shield last weekend, most of the NZ test players who hadn't been playing the ODIs were in their respective domestic sides for the first 2 days of a FC match then got replaced. I think Northern Districts had something like 3 players replaced.

Kevin Innes scored a hundred as a sub for Sussex (coming in for James Kirtley) in, IIRC, 2004

Yeah this happens quite often in domestic cricket, and indeed grade cricket and every low below that. If a player has to pull out of a match because he's been selected for higher honours then, rather than a substitute fielder, he's allowed a full replacement.

 

[Spikey]

given domestic cricket is now more than ever just a feeder comp to the national team - as opposed to say county cricket in the 50's - I'm surprised full replacements aren't allowed for injures yet. I mean, an injury to a bowler can basically cause the match to be a write off

Unless you're NSW as you've of course selected six other specialist bowlers in the eleven.

 

[Spikey]

usually when we pick 6 bowlers it's a batsman who gets injured tbf.

 

[uvelocity]

yeah that would be a good look, can't have a runner but can just be replaced instead

 

[Spikey]

that's only an International playing condition iirc. we're a domestic comp that features SA, already a sizeable amount of the games we play are useless, we hardly need injures devaluing more of them
