Aus v WI ODI series

[Dog_ger]

Cricket...

Where has the excitement gone...?

We were so spoilt in the "Packer" era with "World Series"

Pity James doesn't have the foresight....

[The Sleeping Giant]

That was out I reckon

Better grab a rule book mate.

Did the Windies just come here for a holiday, then thought to play a few one-dayers just to justify a work trip?

They need a real coach to shake the Hollywood crap out ... I feel for Clive, Viv and co watching this pathetic attempt to be a cricket side

[Coach Bombay]

I reckon it was in the last test but did anyone else catch the Michael Holding interview on the Cricket show?
Found it hilarious, he had a fair crack at the players and called the WICB a bunch of jokers who are only trying to fatten their own wallets and dont care about the state of cricket over there.
He reckons nothing will change unless there is a complete overhaul

look, you might be right but I can't find anything in Law 38 to refute it.

Apparently....the run out law also permits the use of the arm in breaking the wicket, provided the ball is in the same hand at that moment. Therefore, if the bowl is in both hands then either arm can be used to break the wicket.

Many ex WI greats have said that for the past decade or more.

You know the board are only looking after themselves when they allow the test captain to come out and question the importance of test cricket and its place in the game

Pollard is bowling cold pies

I always thought you could break the wicket with the arm up to the elbow of the hand the ball was in.

The fielder can use hand or arm, which would include all up to the shoulder, as long as the ball is in the same hand...

If a fielder clasps the ball in both hands then you can use either arm...hence I think that earlier decision should have been out.

I think Brayshaw's point about breaking the wicket with his arm is irrelevant if he already had the ball in his hands (both hands at that)

[purch]

Haha!

Sucked in Clarke.

Love watching this guy bowl

The rule is up to the elbow not the shoulder

Law 28

1. Wicket put down
(a) The wicket is put down if a bail is completely removed from the top of the stumps, or a stump is struck out of the ground,
(v) by a fielder with his hand or arm, providing that the ball is held in the hand or hands so used, or in the hand of the arm so used.

Think you'll find the arm is classified in this instance as elbow down

It doesn't say that and last time I looked there is arm above the elbow!
