Eh? Bit extreme comparing crap chat on a cricket pitch to sexual crimes mate.

I was only doing so in terms of the relativity.

I think anyone who goes in to a game with rehearsed sledges should face a serious fine and a ban.

Custodial sentence. But not the death penalty.

High five yourselves all round anyone lasting the course on this test of endurance over 4 pages

Just read all 4 and was about to comment similar. I think I now have less brain cells than I did when I started

That will help, I think.

Going into bat, getting to the crease, young lad "this bat hasn't seen action!" me "I used it last week" lad "best with it, score many with it" me, same to you".
Same happened before, but this time I felt good as it was a lad ❤️😀
He's a reasonable leggie who can bat a bit,he'll get better with more strength with the age.

Count down has started for you, NT!
Cricket is not only looking at bat grains etc, it's how it goes in real time!
In this thread we're discussing our/oppos behaviour in the field, nothing more or less.
I only talk while bowling, for the field setting, appeals, appreciate fielders etc.
Don't talk to the batters!
I know I'll take wickets this year, and a lot of them, as I'm bowling well now, without any words been exchanged!

Just to give you an example,
Yesterday were like 18-3, their keeper kept saying, "there are demons in the pitch", I was told of that when when their keeper came to bat. As I was fielding close to the bat, I started repeating the same to him.
Is there anything wrong with this?

And to add to field setting,
Yesterday, I was playing for the 2nd, new captain, with know all!
Batters are well set and taking any opportunity to hit hard.
Guys hits in the air over to deep mid off, to my horror, there is no long off, ball falls short of boundary and goes for a 4!
That's upsetting, for sure! In 3s I always deep long and deep long on, when I know they are going going after me!
If there was a long off, it was a sitter!

And yes, it feels good when opposition and umpire say "well bowled!"

Absolutely despise sledging. Only ever done it once, bored when we were playing a timed match, and the oppo had zero intention of chasing the runs.

I was bowling my SLA filth, and the opener hadn�t even attempted to play a shot in anger. After his latest forward defensive I said �crikey, more blocks than Legoland�. It obviously irked him as the very next ball he charged down the wicket, missed it and was stumped. Cue much merriment.

Hahaha, Mark!
Don't think you bowl enough, 😀😀

AJ2014 · « **Reply #73 on:** May 03, 2021, 10:00:55 AM »

"Garfield, play a shot, man!"
Next ball, big looming shot came and he was bowled!
That was yesterday's last delivery...
