A minute’s a long time if you only have two of them!

I agree it’s a very harsh penalty. It was avoidable, too. I reckon it wouldn’t have happened had Mathews not been so cavalier. He should’ve talked to Shakib explaining the issue with his helmet, the strap on it was loose or whatever the reason, and in all likelihood Shakib wouldn’t have appealed to the umpire. That said, it is an unsavoury incident.

according to matthews he did talk to shakib and the umpire about helmet. he claims the helmet strap broke at 1'55" whilst he was at the crease, and time shown on video. after the talk, umpire asked shakib if he wanted to withdraw and he refused.

umpires and review umpire had opportunity to rule it a safety issue and not a time wasting issue ... but obviously didn't

That really is harsh! And not in the spirit of the game at all. I’m not a huge fan of Angelo Mathews and I was going for Bangladesh. But yeah, no wonder Mathews was extremely upset, he had every right to be.

For a game that's supposedly played between gentlemen, there are a surprising number of unsavory incidents.

Anyone else watching the cricket? Angelo Mathews was just given for “timed out.” I’ve never seen that before. He was more surprised than anyone.

Yeah the commentators just said it’s the first time this has happened in International Cricket.

It’s just not cricket! 🧐

Looks weird on the scorecard…

It's a strange rule. I wonder if it applies to all formats. I mean limited over games are a tad different to a game played over 5 days.

In The NZ / Pakistan game with the rain coming into the result it makes some sense but seems pretty stiff in a test match. And bowlers often slow games down with over rates.

It reflects poorly on the team appealing for it for me.

It is applicable to all forms of cricket, even T20, if you wanna call that cricket. 😁 Same with the D/L method (for rain interrupted matches).

Put simply, if you put a dollar to win on every horse, you need a winner at 24 to 1 or better, to make a profit.

I know someone who says she has backed the winner every year. She backs every horse in it.

Funny!

The odds shortened a bit today but at the time of posting backing the field each for a place would have given a modest return due to third place Sheraz. Two days ago it was @ $ 27 for a place. Throw in the other winners and it wasn't too shabby.

Tx Wcw.

I agree Test matches are where it's at but T 20 is not too bad for simple entertainment. And the Indian Premier League has done a lot for making cricket popular again.

It was 2 minutes when I played club cricket back in the 70's and 80's and everyone was aware of the rule.

In those days, the club kit might only have allowed to have 2 batsmen padded up, so if a couple fell quickly it was a rush to get padded up.

Too bad if you forget the box. It's a tough rule.

The rule is three minutes. Except for during the World Cup matches where it used to be three minutes but has been changed to two minutes.

A humbling experience for Redleg admitting he was wrong.

It’s especially tough when you consider there’s a safety concern if a batsman’s helmet isn’t secured properly. One would think the timed out wouldn’t happen. I don’t know if the box is as much a safety issue.

I was talking about a box, not a helmet. Although some blokes don’t think with their heads, so you might be right. 😁

AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond
AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
