[ad_1] File photo of umpire Billy Bowden (left) and Australian batsman Damien Martyn.© AFPAustralia legend Mark Waugh has proposed for a major change in the rule of cricket in the white-ball format. The ex-Australia batter has suggested that run scoring through leg-byes should be removed from the limited-overs cricket. Waugh asked the custodian of the laws of cricket to try bringing the change and then evaluate."A batting side should not benefit from leg byes. The whole point of batting is to hit the ball with the bat, not pads. If you score leg byes, it means you've missed the ball, and the bowler has beaten you," wrote a user on X, formerly known as Twitter."I've been saying this for years. I think it should at least be a rule in all white ball cricket. Give it a trial and see how it g...

“It’s Baffling”: Rohit Sharma’s Weird Tactic For Ravichandran Ashwin Angers Ex-Cricketers | Cricket News

[ad_1] Ravichandran Ashwin has been one of the consistent performers for India on home conditions in the recent past and his impact on the side became even more evident from the fact that he dislodged James Anderson to become the top-ranked Test bowler in the world. As a result, it came as a major surprise to everyone that skipper Rohit Sharma waited around 15 overs to hand the bowl to his top spinner on Day 2 of the third Test against Australia in Indore. While the spin threat was being provided by Ravindra Jadeja, it was Ashwin who ultimately provided the first breakthrough of the day as he dismissed Peter Handscomb. Ravi Shastri, Mitchell Johnson and Ajit Agarkar were all taken aback by the choice made by Rohit and during their commentary, all of the ex-players made it a point to disc...
