If a new player takes more than three minutes to enter the field of play after the previous batsman was ruled out, then the new player is out.
thanks, m8. Rules ofCricket are gr8 - I particularly like the fact that a man like Gilchrist can walk.
Hell I admire that bloke.
hey there's a 12th way - lol - just kiddin. not trying to be a pedant.
Not like the rules of soccer. I had a couple of sons went to learn umpiring, once a week at night. I went along and listened. The bulldust they were told about "they could be sued" and " international monitoring" and etcetc.
The teacher ( black belt / shirt / pants etc) poses this question ...
"it's raining, but you're told that the game is on, and you get under way. You want to award a corner kick, but the corner of the field is under water bigtime, .. what do you do?"
so I'm thinking (mmm DOHH , try the nearest dry spot?)
some kid suggests pretty much what I was thinking, this bloke pounces " NONO, the groundsman said the grounds were playable - not up to you to change ANYTHING. the corner must be taken on the corner!! water or no water !!. "
lol - next week he turns up to lecture the kids - he's got a black eye after the weekend's umpiring
wonder why ? with an attitude like that lol.
