So calling what someone writes "tripe" and refering to it as a "silly argument" isn't an insult (the degree matters not)? If you could have countered what I said with rational argument of your own, you would have. However, when you say things like "Within the rules, but you're an ordinary bloke if you do it", infers that all players who play cricket within the rules of the game are "ordinary blokes".
Where does thought like that stop? It's within the rules to stand your ground as a batsman and make the umpire give you out. Are you an ordinary bloke if you do it? What about running overthrows, or byes or appealing for LBW and it given not out. Is the bowler an ordinary bloke because the umpire disagreed with him by giving it not out?
I've seen some truely ordinary behaviour on the cricket field in my 15 years of playing in the DVCA. One of the worst was a player verbally abusing and threatening an umpire both on the ground and from the boundary.
Playing by the rules is playing within the 'spirit of cricket' and certainly not being an "ordinary boke" as you have suggested.
Firstly, what you wrote was silly and tripe. If you find it insulting. Toughen up princess.
Secondly, I have a question for you. You're running for a quick single and the ball gets thrown in, you're easily home and you go to ground your bat and the ball hits your bat. The ball then goes most of the way to the boundary where there are no fielders, and you can run another easy run, possibly two....

Only against Riverside

If the scores were tied, 9 wickets down I reckon 95% of players would.
Still throwing insults instead of answering the questions I posed? I'm the hardest person to offend, I said you were throwing insults, not that I was insulted.
I note that you haven't answered me yet, but I have no problems answering you. I know you think you are being tricky, but I know the rules of the game. You are entitled to run only if you have attempted to avoid being hit by the ball. If I had not attempted to avoid the ball, I would not run as I am not entitled to under the rules.
If the throw was not being backed up, yes run as if the throw hadn't his the batsmen/bat, then the run would have been taken.Lets start the question again, due to someone changing the scenario.
You're 5/105 in the first innings of the game on day 1 (As Banyule were). You're running for a quick single and the ball gets thrown in, you're easily home and you go to ground your bat and the ball hits your bat. The ball then goes most of the way to the boundary where there are no fielders, and you can run another easy run, possibly two....

In a GF, bloody oath, there is NO tomorrow, if that ball comes off the bat and runs to the boundary do you tell the fielding side you dont want the 4 runs? wouldn't have thought so.........Firstly, what you wrote was silly and tripe. If you find it insulting. Toughen up princess.

No signal from the umpire at all, except for the one that says "on your bike"I heard both scorers put a 4 in the book? Must of been some sort of signal from the umpire if that was the case, or did they assume like the batsmen?
Could be the B grade curse.........no 1st XI side has won the B grade flag after being relegated, Whittlesea lost GF, Hurstbridge lost GF, Mill Park????Mill park in B Grade still require 144 runs off 34 overs with 6 wickets in hand.
Could they possibly lose the unloseable ?

Been told Wanderer's are happy to go up to Money if they win, where would that leave Mill Park considering they have been so dominant this year?
