Each batsman will face a maximum of three deliveries, and will be out if they do not hit one and gain a run from it. An "innings" will be over once three batsmen have been dismissed either through failure to hit, being caught from a hit, or being run out, and ... oh hang on someone's done this?Last edited by Rogin the Armchair fan; 21-02-2019, 20:02.

I honestly forget the sport exists here. I live in the largest BAME borough in the UK*. Not good.
*as Barney Ronay has discussed, shoving Lewisham cricket into Kent’s realm is a major dereliction of duty by the ECB.

120 is also a multiple of five.
But yes, this is just... a bit weird. At 120 balls you're already not really looking at a contest between bat and ball - it's a contest between one team's bats and the other's bats. This is going to be like that but more so.

Is it just me or are those team names upthread pisspoor even by the usual standards of these things? London Spirit sounds like a perfume, Welsh Fire is good, Southern Brave just sounds odd, Birmingham Phoenix (why?) & Leeds Superchargers (why again and what's a supercharger?) Trent Rockets is bang on though, given Nottingham's important place in the story of the UK's space industry.Last edited by Nocturnal Submission; 29-05-2019, 15:59.
