@Keatoboy:
1. What do you think has had the biggest impact on the imbalance between bat and ball in One Day cricket?
a. shorter boundaries, b. heavier bats or c. flatter pitches
2. Do you think that there is any way that a "World Championship" of Test cricket will get off the ground and/or succeed? Is it even necessary?
3. The ECB have changed the rules regarding the coin toss in County matches, whereby the visiting captain can elect to bowl first if they choose (and thus there will be no toss) or toss as normal if they are undecided whether to bat or bowl (and their fate would rest as normal with the correct "call" of heads or tails). Is this a good thing and could/should it be introduced into Shield cricket and eventually Test matches?
4. If there is one law you could change or remove completely from cricket, what would it be and why would you do it?
eBay tells me it's worth a fair bit if I've been looking at the right set! You should really take a look!What would a complete sets of Scanlens 1978 cards be worth? Mint condition with all checklists.
G'day Nick,Hi Keaton and everyone,
This set is numbered /84 Im thinking its the 89/90 Scanlens set? Any ideas on value in the condition they are in (very good-mint)
Also any idea what year these were from? I am guessing they came with Pura Milk one year and I have around 50 of them.
Cheers,
Nick
Definitely the right thing to do, a little difficult if you get 3 bad calls tho... its like being told you were shoplifting 3 times when you didn't, so maybe stealing something that last time is ok?For me, it's got to be walk! I was given out 3 times on bad decisions season just gone, and 2 of them were from the only SACA accredited umpire in my competition! The first one I smashed the ground and he gave me out caught behind, and the other was an LBW shout that had a massive inside edge and would've gone down leg anyway. Had I known I was out I definitely would've just walked straight away. It might be a somewhat extreme example, but to me, knowing your out and waiting for the umpires decision is like shoplifting and waiting for the cops to catch you out. In saying that I don't have any less respect for people who wait for the umpire's decision, at the end of the day it could be the difference between winning and losing a match!
Cheers for the question Scott!
A different way of looking at it, but even if you've been falsely punished thrice, does that make it any less wrong to legitimately commit it?Definitely the right thing to do, a little difficult if you get 3 bad calls tho... its like being told you were shoplifting 3 times when you didn't, so maybe stealing something that last time is ok?

Just something to think about...
