Because he had problems finding booze on tour there. 4 hours ago, Len Cnut said: I heard Beefy shagged Miss Jamaica so hard he broke the bed. Miss Barbados. He had a later affair with an Australian barmaid or something or other. Not that long ago really - 2003ish, doing his Sky stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diets consisted of pies and chips - and beer. Sadly that has changed with all of the dieticians, fitness gurus and sports scientists floating around the game - as with all sports now.

Unless I'm not understanding something (very likely ), that should be an easy call right? I would think that's a common play, but you say he's one of the few to be called out on it? I must be missing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must be missing something. The batsman isn't allowed to deliberately run in the way of the ball in order to stop it from hitting the wicket. Getting run out, which is where the ball is thrown against the stumps whilst the player is out of the crease, is quite common, but the player in the video, Inzamam, was notoriously poor at running between the wickets and was "run out" many more times than average.

Ok- what you explain is what I thought the rule would be. What if the runner doesn't obstruct the ball "intentionally"? Like he's running toward the stumps and the throw hits him in the back, but would have hit the stumps. Is he out then also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 I wouldn't worry about obstructing the field too much. It has occurred only seven times in international cricket, only one of which was at Test level (Len Hutton, 1951)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched that match (which was superb by the way - best one dayer I've seen in awhile) and the official coverage does not show streakers because it does not want to award them air time. It is the same for all the other sports. I find it very mean spirited as I always laugh my head off at streakers. We had a streaker at a Durham v Yorkies one dayer in torrential rain(the game had just been called off) and it was hilarious. The security chaps were chasing him like keystone cops. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) Captain Cook has resigned the captaincy I see. Mixed record Cook has. Some glorious highs, - v India 2012 - v South Africa 2016 - 2013 and 2015 home Ashes triumphs and some dreary lows, - Ashes 'whitewash' down under, 2013-14 - defeat at home by Sri Lanka, 2014 - and of course recently, the Indian debacle Throw in a drawn series against a terrible West Indian team who everyone murders these days, and failure to get to the Pakistanis, both away (a loss for England) and at home (a keenly fought draw) and it is not the greatest record. Specifically he had a habit of letting the game, the overs, wander away at times, lacking the technical nous to make fielding changes and instigate wickets.
