When I see the stumps get knocked over the off a legitimate delivery the batsman should be out.

Get rid of this 'Free Hit' nonsense.

Well don't overstep the line. It's a simple enough task, which international bowlers for some reason don't seem to be able to manage. Bring it in to Tests and ODI's and the no-ball count would drop dramatically overnight.

Fark...Maddy GAAAAAAAAAWWWWNNNNNNN!!!!!!!

48/3

Need to get a move on here England.

by Shoeshine Fri 14 Sep 2007, 13:36

Struggling here. Run rate isn't great, we could be setting them only 100 if we're not careful.

by beamer Fri 14 Sep 2007, 13:36

Time to just think about making sure we post something competitive that they won't knock off quickly enough to put us in trouble in terms of qualifying. These two need to stay there a while and make sure we have a shot at around 140.

Yep, if you don't want a free hit against you, don't overstep the mark. Quite simple really.

by Brass Monkey Fri 14 Sep 2007, 13:36

Wouldn't mind so much about the score/situation if Flintoff wasn't shot to ribbons.

Yeah, I've no sympathy at all for bowlers who constantly bowl no-balls. I firmly believe an aborted run-up should be a no-ball as well. Maybe we'll see free hits for wides as well one day!

by doremi Fri 14 Sep 2007, 13:38

52/3 off 9.

Had them in the 45 over stuff here for a bit. It's a possibility. I mean, humans make mistakes, but the whole muscle memory and measured run-ups thing should get rid of 95% of any no-ball problem. They get paid to be precise.

Nowhere near enough. They're at least 20 adrift at this point.

by doremi Fri 14 Sep 2007, 13:41

Looks like the middle overs of a 50 over game.

Shoddy camera work as Colly hits a 4. GO COLLY!!!

by doremi Fri 14 Sep 2007, 13:41

Colly hits another one! Woohoo!

by doctorspin Fri 14 Sep 2007, 13:42

Colly seems to fancy the Brummy pies.

by Shoeshine Fri 14 Sep 2007, 13:42

12 off that one. Bit better, but still behind the game.

The camera work has been very shoddy, but I think that was just yet another break in transmission...FFS

by Shoeshine Fri 14 Sep 2007, 13:44

THAT's the way to deal with a free hit! Six for Colly.

by doremi Fri 14 Sep 2007, 13:44

Another no-ball. Almost Mohd. Sami-esque.

And the free-hit goes for 6. Do I have Pietersen in one of my teams? Don;t know....

by doctorspin Fri 14 Sep 2007, 13:44

6 off the BLee free hit

Colly is a GOD

by Shoeshine Fri 14 Sep 2007, 13:45

Bugger. Collingwood out.

Aus seem to be bowling quite a few no-balls.
