How come no one has done what?



How long ago it happened is irrelevant to the point I was making.




Yet another straw man. I never said hyper extension is not allowed by the current rules. Below is a picture of Bumrah with hyper extension sitting at somewhere between 30 and 35 degrees. Bumrah's delivery in the photo is fine if by the time he releases the ball there hasn't been a reduction in this hyperextension - a change in angle of 15 degrees or more prior to the release point. They have to determine that using biometric analysis and they can't do that during games.

So you think they should add a new rule altogether for bowlers whose arm is so straight that it’s actually bent BACKWARDS and then goes forwards as part of a natural return to its normal position? (And haven’t even provided any evidence that he does that anyway - he’s about the let the ball go in a frame or two in that photo so not sure what we are supposed to see between now and then)

Seems like you’re completely ignoring what the entire rule was invented for in the first place: bowlers who have a bent arm like a pitcher or, as the name suggests, an outfield thrower, who straighten the arm on release, and trying to find a hole somewhere that doesn’t exist.

As Bumrah himself does with the ball right a his incredible wrist position and unnatural hypertension allows him to send down another missile: let it go

It usually is but he played quite a patient disciplined innings to win that test at the Gabba a few years ago.

I don't think a win is possible for India now though unless Pant and Jaiswal really cut loose in this session.

299 off 63 overs

 

[k31th]

That's a very good shot from Jaiswal

 

[010203]

Giving Jaiswal width isn't a great idea.

 

[Outtatym]

Maybe after 3 boundaries you should consider a backward point

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Get Boland off

 

[eltrain]

don’t know how many are in here but feels like it’s a bigger crowd than your typical Day 1 (that isn’t vs England or India). Certainly a hell of a lot noisier.

 

[Coasters7]

Next wicket is the big one. All 3 results still in play while they’re out there

 

[JimmyBC]

This is how you want them playing

 

[Doctor Feel]

They want to win, good on them.

 

[Pistol Night]

Maybe after 3 boundaries you should consider a backward point

Or not bowl wide

 

[k31th]

strangest way to get a 4... bending down trying to hook a normal length ball, toe-ended through wide mid-on... yikes

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Boland is too predictable for these new age attacking batsmen

 

[Plugger35]

Definitely seems like a change of approach from India since lunch, much more attacking, pushing and prodding wasn't working.

 

[The hands of stone]

This is exactly want Australia want , get them playing some shots .

Would you really care this far in front?

 

[k31th]

looked pretty adjacent to me... I'd review that.

 

[Doggy]

And here comes India.

 

[imagifED]

India on the counterattack with Jadeja, Reddy and Sundar to come.

 

[Magma]

looked pretty close live. height?

 

[Kuuz]

We are bowling absolute pies at the minute.

Wtf is the plan bowling wide and short going to do

 

[Stax on the mill]

Going down leg.

 

[Moonwatcher]

I had my finger up

 

[Barrybran]

I thought that was down leg initially
