That's a good change. It was ridiculous to call "dead ball" when a bowler broke the wicket in his delivery stride because sometimes the batsman was penalised.


I don't understand change number 2. Why would they change the rules regarding batting with a runner if batsmen are no longer allowed runners?

Good catch !  8)

http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci-icc/conte...20924.html

The ICC's executive board has ratified the recommendations of the ICC Chief Executives' Committee :

including the abolition of runners,

the usage of new balls from each end in one-dayers,

and regulation of when the batting and bowling Powerplays can be taken.

In addition to approving the rule changes to ODIs ....................


Gina145 , appears that " runner " is only abolished in ODIs.

Not TEST cricket

Nope. If you read the changes in the grey square, it clearly states: "No runners in international cricket". So maybe this new rule applies to domestic cricket.

No I'm not, though a career counsellor once told me to study law. Aside from the fact that I would never feel comfortable trying to help someone get away with a crime they were guilty of, I wouldn't have the confidence to argue their case in a court either. It's easy to say what I believe online, in real life not so much.

I looked for this because I was sure I hadn't seen any runners in test cricket lately.
