3rd Test Border Gavaskar Trophy December 14-18 1050hrs @ The Gabba

Does anyone know the actual law/rule on lunch and tea breaks and whether or not they can be interfered with in regards to they must be taken no matter how much weather delay there has been.

For example the tea break in my opinion should not be on the table today, play missed should mean that these breaks cannot be taken.

Yet it seems that no matter what these two breaks are written in stone and even though they can be taken later or earlier they will still be taken.

In other words, rain cannot take away time from breaks. Am I incorrect in assuming this is how it works?

The laws need rewriting
This is how I think it should be

• if you lose time in the first session it subtracts from lunch. Ie take your damn lunch during the breaks in play. If there is no lunch then there’s no lunch. HTFU
• same rules in second session and tea
• no batsmen bat changes or glove changes unless the bat is actually ****ing damaged. Umpire inspects and if not damaged 5 run penalty against batting team
• no ****ing drinks apart from drinks breaks. They allow an earlier one for oppressive heat already.
• tighter rules on forcing batsmen to retire hurt rather than physio assessments on field. You get one minute. If you are right after retiring you can come back at next fall of wicket. Tough sight if this is the last wicket
• every hour the over rate gets assessed. Run penalties against bowling side (given that so far all my rules have clamped down on batsmen bullshit) as follows
• one over behind (14 in the hour) no penalty
• two behind 2 run penalty
• three behind 6 run penalty
• four behind 12 run penalty

(And so on)
- can remove penalty runs by “overachieving “ over rates in a subsequent hour (eg if you bowl 16 in an hour)

His body language said not likely at all

Either very poor decision to let him line up by the medical staff. Or selfish from Josh. Don’t like to throw around accusations but with Boland firing like he did in Adelaide, it’s a very poor outcome for the team. Especially if victory depends on bowling India out 2x in a row

 

[Black Diamond]

Are we getting another 5-run penalty from Marnus foxing in the field just then?

 

[Lebbo73]

Smith

I said to my daughter if Cummins gets a wicket first ball we’re leaving as a joke. **** you Smith.

 

[Crankyhawk]

2 drinks breaks every 40ish, extended first session.

Too many. Should still only have one.

No it doesn't LMFAO... It shows he passed a fitness test and has now re injured himself. It happens all the time in sport.

Not everything is a big conspiracy theory. They picked him because they thought he was right to go, looks like they got it wrong.

Reinjured himself bowling one over ??

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Smith has cost us any Chance of a result

Why couldn’t you drop Rohit if you had to.

It was in the warmup so he didn't even do it in that one over lol

Picked up a niggle in the warmup

Do we think the same leniency is applied to Boland if roles were reversed? Obviously Hazlewood is the better player so you want him in as much as possible but it’s just an unnecessary risk when we have competent replacements

Which is worse.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Doesn't Marnus bowl seam?

Well he wouldn’t because he isn’t as good, not because he isn’t from NSW is my point.

I also think these things aren’t black and white. Athletes often pass fitness tests just to injure themselves.

Bloody Queensland!

 

[Plugger35]

The first rain delay of the day and it probably won't be the last if yesterday was anything to go by.

Very easy but harsh to blame him if we don’t go on to win.

You are late to the party but welcome to the club!

How about we bowl our spinner first rather than Marnus’ rubbish

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Rains our only hope of not cooking Starc for the rest of the series

We're not winning this with a bowler down anyway
