Re: South Australia - pitch doctoring

Exactly as it doesn't make sense. Thus no consideration of the wicket being "doctored" at all. Just elect to bat first as you normally would. Even SA players are saying it's greener than usual. 30 wickets in 2 days? So, it's doctoring if England does it but it's OK if SA or Aus do it? If ...

Re: Sunday Results 19th May 2013

That's correct Jonomath. The keeper having the ball in his hands is not a dead ball, it is still in play, its just that he is protected from having it knocked/ kicked out of his hands. If the incident happened as described above with the keeper shoving a player hard enough to be booked, then a pena...

Re: Never seen before

All of which I understand, but it does seem a ridiculous application of the law when the ball is in the centre circle when the keeper abuses the ref and a free kick is then given 50 yards away from where the ball is. It doesn't matter where the ball is (provided it is in play). It's no different to...

If you kicked someone with two feet, etc, on the streets you would get arrested too. Didn't Duncan Ferguson cop jail time after headbutting an opponent on the field?
