Ambrose appeals for changes to save test cricket

I am not sure what Ambrose is saying here.

I don't think the two bouncers per over rule has taken anything away from test cricket.

It's kinda pathetic watching England trying to bounce the Indian batsmen at Trent Bridge.

Obviously he has a point with regard to pitches but there is nothing that the ICC can do about that. There is nothing to stop the WICB attempting to get better pitches in the Caribbean.

The reality is that England and Australia still get good crowds for test cricket. Crowds are not going to return in the Caribbean until WI start winning and the WICB seems clueless as to how to make that happen.

Empty stands...no excitement.  Jurassic Age cricket going the way of the dodo.  Cricket world needs to face reality.    ::yawn::

remove bureaucratic domination.  the interest of the bureau is not the interest of the game but their own institutional interest of parasitic expansion and survival.

that is the problem:  who dominates driven by their interest.. and their resulting collective personality and the impact such personality has on the game.

the bureau is not a part of the production of the wealth in the game..they do not work really..they have imposed themselves on the game, keep everything secret like its rocket science, impose rigid control and rabid controlling rules on the players..on the whole game, while seeking a format to standardize the cricket product, to be able to market it to the world as one size fits all.

if cricket was a sweet fruit  like pineapple producing different sizes all the time making a shipping problem for packaging they would genetically modify the fruit to solve the packaging problem while losing sweetness and plant viability.  the plant now has no resistance to disease so they spray chemicals.

the resulting fruit is now tasteless and poisoned. but marketing solves that problem by making the world taste what's not there while paying for the crap willingly.

imagine that eh!  all for a packaging 'problem'! ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL::

that is cricket now.  deh are searching for the {a} one size fits all form of the game.  visions of baseball cricket the world over, like sugar plums, dance in their heads.  but it dont matter!  whatever cricket remains they will maintain the bureaucracy on it..sell it like pineapple.

its like the wicb!  broke, with a stinkingly unsuccessful west indian game and empty stadia they are still expanding their bureaucracy, adding parasitic staff.  they done work out how they will be able to pay everybody and keep the game enslaved regardless of results.

the only happy people in west indian cricket currently are members and employees of the wicb.  they are always smiling especially the CEO.  deh doh have a problem.  we do..the one they made for us

allyuh think it sorf!  wake up and ses the problem. it is in who controls and their form of control.  they need to enslave all who work to ensure their own survival.  kill them... or they will reduce us all to absolute slavery and ultimate severe numerical reduction.

that is the nature of general global social control..corporate bureaucracy overlaid by a dominant financial class.  and their interest is to ensure that those who work do so regardless to ensure they get paid.  they are the mind and intellect of human society.  we are the labouring body.

only social revolution can sweet them away and create forms of social organisation to meet the needs of the time, to make full use of the stage humanity has arrived at

Methink you need a reality check  ::LOL::

Dont get a headache trying to figure it out 

I have a problem with all the limits placed on fast bowling.  now that we have efficient protective gear I would remove all restriction.

bouncers in deh rarse!!!! > > > let them find ways to deal with it.

if they do so successfully batting would advance and the fast bowlers would have to regroup and come again

They hav Helmet, visor guard , arm guard , chest guard , hip guard , Seeds guard (important):

wuh de bumbaklaat more ....dem batsman want ?


REMOVE the bouncers restriction !!!

No Butts guard

shin guard , kerchief wrap arung head , NASA batting gloves :

Batsmen are overdressed !

Do Bowlers and fielders  even wear seeds guard these days ?
