The umpire needs to believe the ball was likely to inflict physical injury on the batter. It was pretty clear that neither ball was going to do that. The first ball flew well above the batters head which in itself shows the ball was not going to inflict physical injury. The second ball was...

Did anyone see the decision by the Umpire in the second ODI between the Australian Women and the English women to remove Elysse Perry from the bowling attack after bowling two high full tosses? I believe this was a mistake and does not follow the ICC Playing Regulations. Admittedly, ICC do not...

I don't think the ICC is proposing that test matches are shortened to 4 days. It has already been stipulated that all Test Matches in the newly unveiled Test Championship will be 5 day games. The upcoming four day test was a proposal put forward by South Africa and Zimbabwe. It may be that...

We have a game on our hands in Mumbai!!! South Africa get 229 in their innings. England 44/0 after 2 overs. Steyn has just been smacked for 23.

Great start to the tournament by New Zealand. Knocking over India and now Australia with a spin centric attack. Looks like they may have the blueprint for team selection in this tournament that others should be looking to follow.

I think you will find that the Zimbabwe player in question had not actually grounded anything behind the popping crease.
