Utilita Bowl Ballot release day

How is everyone getting on, seems like a fair few people have got lucky and got in, but very specific with days and seating category you can get. Im sure a lot of trades will be happening between people with x day or x category

Just for fun Hypothetical

While bored at work today I decided to create a current England test squad but under the conditions that only one player per county could be selected. Here's what I came up with:

Derbyshire: M. Andersson

Durham: E. Gay

Essex: J. Cox (wk)

Glamorgan: M. Crane

Gloucestershire: J. Bracey (wk)

Hampshire: S. Baker

Kent: S. Northeast

Lancashire: G. Balderson

Leicestershire: R. Ahmed

Middlesex: R. Higgins

Northamptonshire: J. Sales

Nottinghamshire: B. Duckett

Somerset: C. Overton

Surrey: D. Lawrence

Sussex: O. Robinson

Warwickshire: E. Bamber

Worcestershire: B. Allison

Yorkshire: J. Root (cpt)

Curious to see who everyone else here would pick, could also do an ODI/T20I squad if y'all are keen.

WTC Final Info

Is there anyone here who attended previous WTC finals? I was hoping to attend the final next year at the oval but there's a remarkable lack of info about it online like when tickets will go on sale etc.

Presumably they'll be sold through the ICC rather than Surrey/The Oval, but if anyone has experience from previous finals, I'd be grateful if you'd share it. Also would be helpful if anyone knows if there's somewhere you can register interest to be kept updated. There appears to be some third party sites like Seat Unique and Global Sports Travel but I think they're for hospitality tickets? It's not really clear.

Apologies mods if this isn't an appropriate sub for this.

Indoor Net Question from a Newbie

I've found a local indoor net place I didn't know existed!

I've never been to one of these, or used a bowling machine. Are they automatically fed or do I need someone to drop the balls in the machine?

I've emailed the place direct, but I'm impatient and thought I'd tap into the wider cricketing hove mind.

The ICC changed the overthrow & run-out rules on Oct 1st — I animated all 8 scenarios with our site's mascots to explain them

Morning all,

The ICC's new playing conditions came into effect yesterday (Oct 1), and they finally spell out what an overthrow actually is — plus tighten when a fielder counts as "holding" the ball for a run-out.

I run CricketOnAir (cricket viewing guides), and our two mascot characters — the Bails — now star in an 8-part animated explainer. Each clip is ~5 seconds: the situation, what happens, then the verdict with the law quoted on screen.

The 8 scenarios:

  1. The classic overthrow — throw at the stumps, miss, to the boundary → OVERTHROW, 4 + 2 = 6
  2. The dive — fumble while stopping the ball → misfield, just 4
  3. The bad flick — shanked pass to a teammate → misfield, just 4
  4. The umpire's call — overthrow vs misfield comes down to intent
  5. Fingertip deflection onto the stumps → OUT, run out
  6. Same thing, but nobody touches it → NOT OUT
  7. Hand brushes the ball while knocking the bails off → NOT OUT (touching ≠ holding)
  8. The Mankad — out, but only before the top of the bowling action

Full write-up with the exact ICC/MCC wording and sources: https://cricketonair.com/guides/overthrow-rule-and-deflection-run-outs-explained/

Genuinely happy to be corrected if I've misread any of the new wording — and yes, the umpire's opinion on intent still rules the day.

Cheers!
