Didn't that happen to Broad last year? You'd think that they'd have seen that and designed the grille so that it'd never happen again, but hey whatever. It's only someones head, what could go wrong

Lots of players adjust their grilles to be as wide as possible to give them the best vision. At the widest setting, a ball can squeeze through most helmets I've seen. To combat this, the newest Masuri helmets don't have adjustable grilles

What are the rules in regards to mixed sex cricket? I know there was that woman who was at least going to play shield cricket a few years ago.

AFAIK there is no mention of gender in any rules at any level of cricket (except women's cricket, where you can't be a dude)

I was at the game and let me assure you that the air was thick with tension at the prospect of little Jimmy James and big Jimmy James completing the most audacious of heists, before Dharmasena, who is definitely on Cricket Australia payroll, shut it down in the most blatant display of cheating since Brad Haddin punched the stumps with his fist and pretended the batsman was out bowled.

I love sports narratives and "constant English world cup failures" is a very good one indeed. You just need to call something a "world cup" and England will be awful at it. We should have called the last 300 years the colonialism world cup and saved the world a lot of heartache.

Yeah, gently caress this noise. I'm going to bed. Not waiting 40 loving minutes to watch two more overs. Why can't the match referee just say play on?

Welcome to cricket, the game of rules pedantry. In my league, we're not allowed to pull up stumps until 5pm, even if you get a result at 3pm. This means either the batting side continues to bat past the score, or the fielding side goes in for a pointless second innings.
