One doesn't need to be an Einstein to infer that he like some of us believes that Test cricket is under threat! Are we to assume that his team will look into issues such as stipulating bat weights, ensuring that the boundaries are not brought in, standardizing the amount of grass to be left on the pitch? Anything to save Test cricket!RamG Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767009176210942232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419796947474491456.post-65262943297837761782008-05-06T22:46:00.000+05:302008-05-06T22:46:00.000+05:30Great pick, dcsiva.

From the article: "Kookaburra produced a bat with graphite binding on it [the one used by Ponting in 2006], which we said did not conform to the laws of the game. That caused a little bit of a difficulty for us. It meant that we had to redefine or rewrite the law."<BR/><BR/>Well, if it didn't conform, why rewrite the law? The ICC is simultaneously both the legislator and the judge of the game. Perhaps they should have an International Cricket Court? Now that would be fun!<BR/><BR/>Great posts, btw!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
