It used to be three minutes. It’s now two.

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

Two friends?

    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.

    I think the rule says 3.

    That’s what the quoted rule in the Sun said.

    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.

    I bow to your superior cricket knowledge.

    A humbling experience for Redleg admitting he was wrong.

    I feel a headache coming on.

    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 didn't know it was an issue of one's religious affiliation.

    This game is now a real danger one. Afghanistan have some quality spinners. We look very flat. 

    I'm not too worried deever. There is nothing in that pitch.

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

    It won’t be a big run-chase. We should be right.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
