It's particularly bad as it takes as many medals as an entire group of solo sports, and each Olympics is only allowed to award a certain amount of medals

A no ball that resulted in 3, then a 6 off his first legal delivery.

After the red team scored 245 they asked Stoinis if he thought it was a enough and his response was basically "maybe." Now orange team is 165-0 in 12th over. Maybe next year a team will break 300 and the top bowlers will be guys who only go for 12 an over.

I think a few international T20 games have gone over 300. Completely overdone demolitions of countries who don't really have teams.

Here is the beginning, middle, and end of that discussion: Dom doesn't Bazball ergo Dom will not play for England until the Bazball era is over.

I stumbled on that IPL match that went to Super Over while I was dogsitting and now I'm hooked. Just added Willow TV to my Spectrum lineup for an extra $5 a month. Dumb question, but does Willow show other leagues or the long Test matches? I assume they show other things since the IPL is only 2 months or so.

Yeah, they will show you a lot. I don't know what exactly they'll be covering this year, broadcast rights get sold off in bits so it will depend what they've bid for.

That makes sense, thanks! I ended up leaving Willow on as background noise the last two days. Watching parts of the same match like 3 times has kind of helped me understand the basics a little more. Still not clear on what a No Ball or Wide Given is but I'm getting there.

Static Rook posted:That makes sense, thanks! A no-ball is an invalid ball and must be bowled again for a free hit (batter cannot be given out other than caught or run out), plus the batting side gets a run. A no-ball is given if the bowler’s front foot is fully over the crease (line) or if it is a full toss (no bounce) higher than the batter’s waist. A wide is exactly that - a ball bowed too wide. The batting team is given one run and the bowler has to bowl another ball. In short-format cricket (one day and t20) the rules regarding wides are more stringent than in longer form (Tests and first class games over a number of days)

World Test champ in June is probably the next test worth catching. Windies vs England ODI could be good and fun Unsure if you are in the US or not, but June starts the Major League Cricket which is the US domestic league. Fairly fun games and teams. June has India tour of England for 5 tests which should be really big. And as a dumb american that has been watching only for 2ish years, it's a fairly easy to understand the basics of the sport, if you don't understand ask cause everyone in the thread has been very helpful to me understanding

no, only run out or one of the weird dismissals like handling the ball or obstruction. i don't think you can even get stumped

Static Rook posted:That makes sense, thanks! A wide is like a ball in baseball, a delivery that is too far from the batter. In T20 and other white ball cricket they are much stricter on wides than in test and first class cricket. If the batter hits the ball it cannot be a wide, even if it would have been called so if they didn't hit it. Batters can run on a wide and can be run out or stumped. A no ball is like a balk in baseball. By far the common no ball is front foot no ball, where a bowler releases the ball too close to the batter, specifically if no part of their front foot is behind the popping crease when the ball is released. A batter can hit a no ball just like any other delivery, but cannot be given out bowled, caught, LBW, stumped or hit wicket from a no ball. They can be run out if they attempt a run however and also be given out for hitting the ball twice or obstructing the field (incredibly rare dismissals those last two). Other times a no ball should be called are a 'beamer' which is a ball that doesn't bounce and is above waist height when it passes the crease at the batter's end (i.e. is basically bowled right at the batter), throwing (i.e. not keeping your elbow straight enough when bowling), bowling underarm, your back foot on delivery landing wide of the return crease (back foot no ball), fielders not obeying the fielding restrictions (there are rules about how many fielders you can have where at certain points of the game, much more common in T20 and ODI cricket) and probably a bunch of others I've forgotten or are so rare in professional cricket you don't need to worry about them right now. tanglewood1420 fucked around with this message at 08:41 on Apr 20, 2025 |

Knocking the bails off at the bowlers end during your delivery and bowling the ball entirely off the pitch are another two that come up. oh duh; bowling too many bouncers in an over.
