Stop clock trialed in limited over games


"in a new development the ECB announce the duplex 50, a new version of the successful hundred, where both ends of the wicket is used at the same time.

ECB director Andrew Strauss confirmed "that we're going to maximize the potential; batsman facing at both ends, bowlers bowling at both ends at the same time. All umpiring will be done by DRS. 12 runs from one ball, two wickets from one ball. Danny Morrison and Kevin Petersen on Comms permanently"

Spectators will be encouraged to neck two pints in one go to join in the fun.
 
i'd rather they said no sub fielders for toilet breaks/change of boots, and enforce run penalties for not getting the full allocation in. 1 minute between overs is very tight, especially if there is a bowling change.
 
Still allow the batters to take as long as they want though going by that article. That is where a lot of time is used in my opinion. Change of gloves, drinks, general time wasting, injuries that could be solved by retiring hurt and returning.
 
Are they gonna dock runs from Batters who walked to square leg, itch their bollocks, text the missus, dawdle back to the crease, pull away from the delivery, call for a pair of gloves, ask for the sightscreen to move, slowly go back to their mark, face the ball, then repeat? Or is it, as ever, only the bowlers who get penalised?

Time taken in between Overs.

Has nothing to do with time taken between balls.


Length of time between Overs.

Length of time taken between Overs.

Length of time taken. between overs by fielding team.

Any more clues needed.
 
Failing to meet the time limit on three occasions in the same innings will result in a five-run penalty.

If you’re going to give a punishment make it worthwhile, five runs 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
