Fascinating video really good explanations too
-
"forbidding bowlers bowling the ball into the ground to a team mate, which damages the ball and may waste time"
Blimey - well harsh - I know league cricketers who do this week in, week out as part of their ritual of preparing to bowl
-
The law that should be changed is the one that let's the batsman back up half way down the track
-
Very good video explaining the rule changes.
I do find the bowler not allowed to practice before hand a bit harsh. Surely you'll still be able to do it at village level?
Also I agree about the backing up rule - that should be changed back.
Is there a rule about if a batsman brings on a runner, is he allowed to back up? or does he have to stay in his crease like the batsman who he's running for?
-
No the runner can back up as well not sure if there allowed but they do
-
since the words fielding,practise and athletic are used extensively in the new laws,my team will be perfectly safe.

I think these are all pretty good changes personally, and the video is massively helpful in showing the real world use of the laws , only one im not a fan of is the not being allowed to practice bowling - i dont think this should be implemented in all levels of the game - junior especially
