they can really pad their stats these days since they get to play non test teams like the windies.
10th for beaches are literally second only to deserts in terms of worst environments to be in.
The first four laws cover the players, the umpires and the scorers.
Law 1: The players. A cricket team consists of eleven players, including a captain. Outside of official competitions, teams can agree to play more than eleven-a-side, though no more than eleven players may field.
Law 2: Substitutes. In cricket, a substitute may be brought on for an injured fielder. However, a substitute may not bat, bowl, keep wicket or act as captain.[3] The original player may return if he has recovered. A batsman who becomes unable to run may have a runner, who completes the runs while the batsman continues batting. Alternatively, a batsman may retire hurt or ill, and may return later to resume his innings if he recovers.
Law 3: The umpires. There are two umpires, who apply the Laws, make all necessary decisions, and relay the decisions to the scorers. While not required under the laws of cricket, in higher level cricket a third umpire (located off the ground and available to assist the on-field umpires) may be used under the specific playing conditions of a particular match or tournament.
Law 4: The scorers. There are two scorers who respond to the umpires' signals and keep the score.

What does square leg ump even do these days since they go to third umpire for literally every run out or stumping appeal that wasn't half way down the pitch?
>>64668036

>>64668126
Straightening out the bails
Law 5: The ball. A cricket ball is between 8 13/16 and 9 inches (22.4 cm and 22.9 cm) in circumference, and weighs between 5.5 and 5.75 ounces (155.9g and 163g). Only one ball is used at a time, unless it is lost, when it is replaced with a ball of similar wear. It is also replaced at the start of each innings, and may, at the request of the fielding side, be replaced with a new ball, after a minimum number of overs have been bowled as prescribed by the regulations under which the match is taking place (currently 80 in Test matches). The gradual degradation of the ball through the innings is an important aspect of the game.
Law 6: The bat. The bat is no more than 38 inches (97 cm) in length, and no more than 4.25 inches (10.8 cm) wide. The hand or glove holding the bat is considered part of the bat. Ever since the Heavy Metal incident, a highly publicised marketing attempt by Dennis Lillee, who brought out an aluminium bat during an international game, the laws have provided that the blade of the bat must be made of wood (and in practice, they are made from White Willow wood).
Law 7: The pitch. The pitch is a rectangular area of the ground 22 yards (20 m) long and 10 ft (3.0 m) wide. The Ground Authority selects and prepares the pitch, but once the game has started, the umpires control what happens to the pitch. The umpires are also the arbiters of whether the pitch is fit for play, and if they deem it unfit, with the consent of both captains can change the pitch. Professional cricket is almost always played on a grass surface. However, in the event a non-turf pitch is used, the artificial surface must have a minimum length of 58 ft (18 m) and a minimum width of 6 ft (1.8 m).
>>64668074
Yes, that's my point.
Jason Holder is a fucking meme. Shit with bat and ball. Basically just Darren Sammy 2.0
Based, elite and objectively muscular Carlos Brathwaite is better with both bat and ball.

It's the fact the relative positives of having fun in the sea are outweighed by the shitness of the sand.
They're painful to be on, difficult to get comfortable on, hard to get rid of and just isn't enjoyable.
Nothing is worse than having to take your socks and sandals off 2 hours later when you've got home to get rid of all the sand that is STILL stuck there.

His edge over Gilchrist is the lack of "sportsmanship".
Gilchrist would #walk when he thought he was out, whereas Healy was the kind of cunt to claim catches when it hit the turf or claim stumpings when he didn't have the ball (Lara in Brisbane 1992 for example)

American style play is profitable.
Cricket hasn't barely been profitable for 100 years. Only now will a whole league of players be able to play professionally, not just the NT.
Of course I was resistant at first but after watching this season of BBL, we should all support our local T20 competition.

In your opinion. But it's kind of like taking a bet, if T20 ends up going well, and ends up bringing in good crowds, its a good thing for cricket overall. Maybe test cricket will still exist but will mainly be watched by autists and losers.
I mean fucking seriously, the worst one is that "ayyyyyyyyyyyyyy-o" bullshit

This is the opinion of someone too fucking stupid to pay attention to something that doesn't have bright flashy colours and fireworks.
Test cricket requires actual skill and strategy, not just "take as many risks as possible because its only 20 overs so fuck it".
Its the best form of the game, without the moronic seppo style of crowd entertainment

It's actually simple psychology. If you want to watch a game that is uninteresting and simply just "MUH TACTICS MUHHFUGGAH" then you should check out chess.
T20 combines athleticism with pressure and skill in a high intensity situation. Tests give inferior athletes the chance to redeem themselves.

Now I know you're shitposting, what skills and athleticism?
Its "HIT AS HARD AS YOU CAN, WHO GIVES A FUCK" the game, there's significantly less skills than required in test cricket where a batsman just can't take risks constantly.
As much as I know it's ironic all this ironic shilling against test cricket in /cric/ seriously triggers me
Test cricket is "literally" the only thing that separates cricket from other sports. Remove it and it's just baseball.

>T20 combines athleticism with pressure and skill in a high intensity situation
>>64677754
I solely blame the IPL for replacing all mentions of the word "six" with "maximums".
>>64677702
Not only that the pressure is significantly less, if a batmas goes out after 5 overs well who gives a fuck - if a batsman gets himself out in 5 overs in test cricket then he could have very well lost the game.
/cric/ will literally go the way of /rug/ in two years time

That's not the case at all. There's far more time in test cricket to rectify a mistake, and that is why the better team wins 99 times out of 100. You don't get to win based on one simple fuckup from the opposition. You need consistently excellent play which is superior to the opposition for days on end to get a win.

"Test" ""cricket"" doesn't require athleticism at all. Whereas t20 requires good fielding because you will lose if you cant field.
You can still be shit at fielding and be good at Test cricket. see: Pakistan and every single Indian team ever up until the last few years

There's nothing wrong with T20 as a format, just its prioritization over real cricket.
>>64677827
Nah I think it needs to become a total fucking joke to even be slightly enjoyable.
My idea involved bowlers being able to get "out" as well as batsmen.
>>64677825
Next you're going to tell us that marathon runners are better athletes than 100m runners.
>>64677825
he's not wrong
I don't like T20 much outside of getting to see my favourite players, but it has objectively improved the way test cricket is played.
Fielding is just one of the areas. Aggressive, dynamic batsmen like Warner and Smoth would have never existed in a pre-meme age, but now they're springing up all over the place. It's made test cricket a more exciting sport, while still retaining the core
>>64677825
I'm the guy shilling test cricket but he's objectively right.
Look at the build of players from years ago and compare it to them now. Let's just take Steve Waugh as an example because you posted him. Had he played today he would NOT have recieved a SINGLE t20 contract because of his lack of athleticism.
Simply put, there's a far bigger demand for athleticism in t20s, to the point where it can be prioritized over batting and bowling. Take Steve Smith for an example. Despite being a fucking mong with the bat and ball, he kept getting IPL contracts in his early days because he was a superb fielder and could chip in a bit with bat and ball.

>>64677839
There is definitely an increase in athleticism, but the appeal of Test Cricket is in the name, its a TEST of all your attributes, including mental ones and your very character. T20 substitutes the mental aspect for SMASH BANG WALLOP, which actually serves to make the action LESS exciting because it no longer has a context.
>>64677825
Look at the standard of fielding in India
Jadeja, Kohli and Raina are objectively good fielders. The Indians have put much more of an emphasis on fielding because of the IPL. Gone are the days of Sehwag and Munaf Patel loitering around the field misfielding and dropping shit all day long.
In T20 fielding wins and loses you games. In Test cricket only really catching matters, ground fielding is basically irrelevant.
Shit like webm related is common nowadays. Back in the day only people like Mark Waugh could do this, now more players than not can do it.
>>64677839
Physical size isn't an indicator of athleticism, look at runners compared to weightlifters. One isn't more "athletic" than the other, they have bodies trained for different purposes.

two pitches, end on end. Three sets of stumps. Three batsmen. Batsman in the centre is facing. He faces one ball from one side, and runs his first run forward, if they want two then his partner runs past the striking stumps and to the far end and the third guy runs to the striking stumps
The next ball is bowled by a different guy on the other side of the wicket, to the guy in the centre

I don't profess to be an expert on the political climate in Pakistan, but my uncle is.
My Uncle is a serving Lt. General. He had a command in southern Afghanistan so by extension was intimately familiar with the situation in the FATA & Khyber provinces.

I'm keeping it simplistic because this is /cric/ but you're absolutely 100% correct.
A greater influx of afghans from the border is what destabilised the NWFP and therefore spread instability in the rest of the country.
We're only now beginning to deal with it, and there is pressure on the government to have a Trump policy on border control. How that will be implemented is anyones guess.

You hit the nail on the head when talking about "how that will be implemented is anyones guess"
When you consider that the Pakistani military backs one faction and the ISI backs another, its fair to say that the Pakistani state apparatus is completely dysfunctional.
For aslong as that's the case, there will never be any sort of meaningful coordinated effort.
Even if there were, the situation is far more dire in Afghanistan itself.
