maniac Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Each team can name six substitutes (previously it was four) in Test cricket. There are no changes to the permitted width and length of a cricket bat, but the thickness of the edge can be no more than 40mm, and the thickness of the bat must not exceed 67mm at any point. Umpires will have a gauge to check that bats meet the new regulations. The ICC has okayed the use of bails tethered to the stumps to prevent injuries caused by bails flying at wicketkeepers and fielders after the stumps have been broken. The mechanism used to tether the bails must not interfere with their ability to be dislodged; the implementation of such a system is at the discretion of the host board. In T20 internationals, if an innings is reduced to less than 10 overs, the maximum quota of overs per bowler shagll not be less than two: meaning that if a match is reduced to five overs a side, two bowlers will be able to bowl two overs each. For boundaries, airborne fielders making their first contact with the ball will need to have taken off from inside the boundary, otherwise a boundary will be given. A boundary will also be given if a fielder in contact with the ball makes contact with any object grounded beyond the boundary, including another fielder. Any byes or leg byes scored off a no-ball will now be scored separately. The bowler will have one no-ball put against his/her name, and the other extras will be scored as byes and leg byes. Previously, byes and leg byes scored off no-balls were scored as no-balls. If a batsman grounds his/her bat or part of his/her body behind the crease while regaining his/her ground before the stumps are broken, and then if he/she inadvertently loses contact with the bat, or if the grounded part of his/her body becomes airborne - while running or diving - when the stumps are broken, he/she shall not be run out or stumped. An appeal can be withdrawn, or the umpires can recall a dismissed batsman, at any time before the ball comes into play for the next delivery. Previously, a batsman could not be recalled once he/she had left the field. For a catch on the boundary to be legal, a fielder making contact with the ball must either be grounded inside the boundary or his/her last contact with the ground before first touching the ball must have been inside the boundary. A batsman can be caught, run-out, or stumped even if the ball makes contact with a helmet worn by the fielder or wicketkeeper. The handled-the-ball dismissal has been removed and included under the obstructing-the-field category. There are several tweaks to what now constitutes unfair play. If the fielding side tries to deliberately distract or deceive the batsman - through mock fielding for example - after he/she has received the ball, the umpires can penalise them. If a bowler bowls a deliberate no-ball, he/she can be removed from the attack for the rest of the innings. A batsman cannot take strike so far outside the crease that he/she is standing in the protected area of the pitch, just like bowlers are not allowed to follow through on the protected area. A catch-all law has now been introduced to give umpires the power to deal with conduct they believe is unfair but is not covered elsewhere in the laws. A player can now be sent off the field by the umpire for the rest of a match for serious misconduct. This will apply to most Level 4 offences, with with Level 1-3 offences continuing to be dealt with under the ICC Code of Conduct. If an umpire's decision is referred to the TV umpire by a team, and the on-field decision remains unchanged because the DRS shows "umpire's call", the team will not lose the review. Because teams will not lose a review for "umpire's call", they will not have their two unsuccessful reviews replenished after the first 80 overs of the innings in a Test. They will have only two unsuccessful reviews for the entire innings. The DRS will now be used in T20 internationals as well - teams will have one unsuccessful review per innings.

beetle Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Is warner still using a tree trunk for a bat this series? Link to comment
beetle Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 There should be a rule against batsman continously walking and changing positions after taking strike , till the ball has been bowled.Or allow the bowlers to bowl from which ever side, which ever hand without having to inform umpire.

Tibarn Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I would like to see the ICC consider allowing teams to play specialist fielders, maybe 1 or 2 at most though. I can't believe the BCCI hasn't pushed for a return to the single new ball in ODIs... Link to comment
sourab10forever Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Good that now the teams don't loose a review in case of umpire's call Link to comment
sourab10forever Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 DRS in T20Is from now on. Reviews will.jot be reinstated after the 80th over in tests. 2 reviews for the entire innings. Link to comment

Does that mean no more ' Manish Pandey ' style catches which involve throw the ball in, cross over the rope' regain balance' come back in and take the catch again? Link to comment

I can't believe the BCCI hasn't pushed for a return to the single new ball in ODIs... 2 new ball rule even though takes out things like reverse swing and spin in the middle overs was not that bad for Indian bowlers to begin with...Indian fast bowlers traditionally are better with the new ball than at death and likes of Ashwin when they started their career was good using the new ball and even opened the bowling. So 2 new ball rule wasn't that bad to begin with for the Indian bowling unit imho. Link to comment
maniac Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 Red card is for apparently for violent brawls on the field...can someone remind me when that has ever happened on a cricket field ? Closest I can remember ever seeing it is that infamous Miandad-Lillee incident when he swung the bat at him. Link to comment

Shami and Umesh both have good reverse swing skills, so our pacers would become that much more potent. Link to comment
