Worst decisions in Cricket history

What are they?

Stokes declaring on 393 on day 1 against the world’s best team with one of the worlds best batsmen on 118 not out and looking comfortable is a new and strong contender.

I would go for completely dominating Pakistan and giving them every chance of winning the test match they had no chance of winning.

Actually scrap that idea as we won as a result of it.

Bazball.

It's turned a load of fans into whinging fannies who can't understand the whole ethos is high risk, high reward.

Absolutely. They are massively for it when it works and dead against it when it doesn't. For me they should only adopt Bazball on games that we win.

Sobers declaring on 92-2 and setting England 215 in 165 minutes in the 4th Test in Trinidad in 1968 on a flat wicket without Hall and Griffith and the series standing at 0-0.

Or Fat Gatt deciding to play the reverse sweep in the 1987 World Cip Final. Rather like the West Indies fans in 1968 I imagine one day I'll get over it.:lol:

Worst decision in cricketing history is taking a decision that may or may not win us the game. Aye reeto

The benefit was supposed to be bowling at them after they’ve had a long day fielding.

Got 4 overs at them :lol: definitely worth not letting Rooto and Robbo slog themselves out and possibly add a quick 20-50 runs

Sub 300 lead against the best team in the world on a good batting pitch, was worth it?

.the decision to have a quick dart before the end of a days play is the right decision whether or not you take wickets, you know you can't make decisions in hindsight right?
