Dhoni off strike on the last ball of the over. Bring Neesham on here, surely.

Just 5 off Henry's last over. Now Boult, Ferguson and ANOther (presumably Neesham) have one left each. That Neesham one looks the key...

Originally posted by ursus arctos View PostThe North American leagues are very aware of the issues with spot-fixing and one of the reasons why they haven't started already is that they are taking their time in devising strategies to make it less attractive.
My understanding is that one idea getting serious consideration is limiting limiting the range of bets available and announcing them as late as the beginning of the relevant inning so that bookies don't have time to get to players.
I still tend to expect that there will be at least one high-profile case here. We've already had a high profile NBA ref engage in form of spot fixing over multiple seasons.
It's not especially hard to design the perfect spot-fixing candidate: a relief pitcher in his late 20s, either a college draftee who got a perfunctory bonus or a Latino player, soft-tosser type. Maybe with a family so relocating to Japan isn't particularly desirable. If you offer that person a million bucks in cash to walk the first hitter of their next appearance, they may well have a think about it.

10 off that one from Ferguson thanks to Jadeja's fourth 6 of the innings. And now Neesham to finish off, facing Jadeja...
Scratch that, Boult is coming on for his last. Who bowls the spare over I wonder? And when?

I know received wisdom is that we're supposed to hate India. But I bloody love Jadeja

New Zealand are presumably in boundary protect mode. Each single means India drop further behind the rate.

The RRR continues to climb, though. Up to 109 in 12 overs, which is 9.08. And they can't risk throwing the bats too much. This pair and Kumar are essentially the end of their batting.

30 to 35 were five good overs for India. Not quite the cert I thought.

I should try to dig out that thread for you sometime, it is amusing.
More seriously, it was never a rule and more of a "we don't do that here" convention. Which brought about the use of "[insert smiley thing]" and the like.

Methinks that Indian telly will be demanding a format change for the next tournament to have a semi final stage like the wretched IPL.
