Aye…. It’d compete with Super Bowl final figures if cricket was only slightly popular in the US. Gonna do some googling
They played each other in August and broke the T20i viewing record with 133 million. It’s Diwali at the moment so could today be higher ?
Pakistan robbed there. No way was that a no ball. He hit it from outside his crease and even at that point it was debatable. The no ball rule needs changing. If you get bowled one one it should be a dead ball. You shouldn't be allowed to run a few times when you've not hit it, just because you got lucky.
I think I agree. The minute the bails come off the ball should be called dead, a point awarded to the batting team and a free hit given.
If you call it a dead ball in those circumstances, do you give another free ball ? You can’t penalise the batter
You aren't penalising the batter. They had a chance to hit the ball as hard as they can, knowing they can only be out on a run out.
The fielding side failed to stop the ball shooting to the boundary on a free hit. They deserve to give runs away therefore. The batter is entitled to take as many runs as they can until a stump is taken out as it becomes a bail basically. I think what you’re saying is to change the rule about when the stumps have been broken in any circumstance should play continue ? Ethically you’re right though .. in my opinion
