The cramp rule has changed. The old rule was a batter could have a "runner", somebody who was already out to run for him. But thanks to a rather tubby Sri Lankan skipper who used to take advantage of that rule when he got a bit tired (when he got to 30 odd 😂) the rule has changed. You can only have a runner now if it's an external injury. As far as time goes there is no set amount but if the umpires deem it's taking too long they will ask the player to leave the field retired hurt or get on with it. Unlike other sports after a batsman leaves the field retired hurt he can only return after the fall of another wicket so it's not a substitution rule. The only substitution rule in cricket at the highest level is the new concussion rule where a concussed player may be replaced with a like player in the next innings.

20 Over world cricket cup starting June 1 2024 USA v CANADA. The best on Earth on display. (ex first class umpire here) This game was extreme heat and humidity and other players left the field and struggled throughout the game. It's not 2 hours, a typical 50 over match lasts between 7 and 8 hours. Test matches are minimum 6 hours per day x up to 5 days Yes there are detailed rules about treatment on field etc but each tournament has its own circumstances and rules. LAWS of the game define how to play cricket and do not change. RULES are match or tournament or league specific and can change depending on circumstances. Very much like NFL is the same game as College Football but the rules details are different. Also not mentioned was the situation of this game. ALL the best batsmen were already out. At 7 out for 98 runs chasing 292 would normally be considered a formality to win for Afghanistan. Australia losing this game and they may not qualify for the next round of the world cup a week later. Many in the crowd would be on their way home by this stage as the game is effectively over. It was a unique innings.

They can't bowl to him on the body because in Cricket, leg side is the strongest side for the batsman, the idea is to get the ball as further away from hitting arc as possible..

Great commentary guys, but you have to understand that Afghanistan haven't been playing internationally for very long so haven't really got the skills to put a team like Australia (which is their national game) away.

It’s different, but harder is not relative, it’s an opinion. Both games have different aspects that are harder than that of the other sport. For instance batting is harder in baseball than cricket. Catching a ball is harder in cricket than baseball, fielding in baseball is harder than fielding in cricket because there are more decision to make based off of what scenario you are in or what bases are filled.

[@Shivian124]

There's a couple of reasons not to go at the body... first for a body line ball to be effective you usually need to bounce it high. Glenn Maxwell is ordinarily EXTREMELY good at balls on the legside (which your body is at - it's legside of the stumps right). He has more shots than anyone else in cricket and he is an extremely strong legside player. Secondly, in ODIs, you have limits to how short so Glenn knows once you've done your legside short ball, you aren't allowed to bowl it again. You are removing the threat of using the ball from the rest of the over because he knows it's a no-ball if you do it. Now would it change when Glenn is massively cramping... well he still scored basically everything on the legside anyway. I don't think Afg had a good enough bodyline bowler to trouble Maxwell. You really need a 150+kph bowler to pull that off with how good his eye was at that game. Finally remember you are seeing the highlights... there were a lot of balls you didn't see. They probably did try quite a lot of things against him that you didn't see.

[@hiborz9705]

I remember watching this match live.. And I keep complaining about it on TV that AFG bowlers should bowl on wider length so that he can't reach it.. Its a very common tactic for bowlers who face with a batsman with cramps.. And AFG bowlers didn't do it

You talked about the bowlers trying to make him move, but in the One Day (50 over) Game the bowlers are limited too where they can bowl the ball. It cannot go behind the legs (ON SIDE) as this will be called a Wide, add 1 run to the score and have to be re-bowled. On the other side (OFF SIDE) the ball has to be bowled no further than than halfway from the centre stump to the White line (Return) on the edge of the pitch, That distance is 1.32 metres or 4 1/3 feet, so half of that. Once again, if it is further away it will be a Wide and 1 run to the score and have to be re-bowled. It is a rule that gives the batsman the advantage, but it also requires the bowler to be super accurate so as to limit the batmans ability to score.

So it is important to know the context. Australia had already lost to South Africa and India in the earlier rounds of the World Cup. If they loose this match they are out before the finals. Afghanistan is a minnow cricket country and had little chance to beat Australia, but when they did the "impossible," and scored 291 runs, people started thinking this might be Australia's worst ever upset. When Stoinis was batting with Maxwell there seemed some sense that Australia could still pull off the win and save their tournament, unless make it to the finals. They had come together at 5/69 in the 14th over of a 50 over match. That was ridiculous, with Head, Warner, Marsh and co already out the batting stocks were getting thin. When Stoinis went after just 2 overs, as an Aussie I was sick to my stomach. The shame, the horror, the indignity of being knocked out of the world cup by a minnow was staring us all in the face. When Starc came and went in just 11 balls it seemed like a back rub with razor blades would be more enjoyable. Then this happened.... and Australia went on and won the World Cup - thank you Maxie you are in a league of your own.

In the limited overs form of the game, im fairly certain the bouncer is ruled out because all the bowlers would need do is bowl unplayable balls and no runs could be scored. One day games were 50 overs each total. Big bash cricket is even less.

[@RealFansSports]

You might be right. What we have always heard was they are allowed one per over but no one specified if it happened in all different forms

T20 World Cup is going to happen in new York

[@jamesw3017]

T20 world cup, the US just beaten 1 of the top cricket nations

[@JonSnow-jk8ee]

That was one of the best innings by Maxwell and one of the worst bowling by a team that showed a lot of heart in that world cup. Literally the commentators were screaming bowl far from his reach😂

[@netha8273]

Maxwell hacks are not working in IPL😂..

[@Jason-yc8pd]

That Ball was probably so damaged , from being hit and landing in the stands , that bowling would of been harder.

[@sk_080]

4:35 in cricket changing the ball can affect its swing. So...😂

[@RealFansSports]

Yeah we know that lol

[@Shobi_1997]

The thing is this you guys are right with the bowlers not trying to deliver in good areas, shows how weak Afghanistan is as a cricket team like nobody tried a bouncer not 1 not even 1

[@merabaap.4580]

If Australia lost that match they will be out of the worldcup. But It's a miracle they win this match and also 2023 worldcup winner is Australia.

10:12 the Captain is the one that punishes them by making them field the worst positions

[@hasnainhyderzardari7443]

What amazing thing of this inngs you will never get is that its Afghanistan and they needed 3 more wickets to win the match Afghanistan should have boweld to the other batsman coz he was not a proper batter rather a bowler which lack batting skills. In short consider this match like a underdog anime character performs and single handely wins the match a match which needs a awhole 11 players need to perform to win and its a worldcup the biggest event of the cricket and one more thing this guys is a alrounder which means he can bowl and bat alrounders come to batting when peoper batters get out and then alrounders come this guy also bowled 10 overs ie delivered 60 balls also fielded damn man superman or james bond or you say south Indian movie hero performance

[@shezilyt2.o905]

Also Maxwell in RCB :🤡☠

[@Vicky77Saurabh]

Only 1 season bro

[@yasirumer2893]

Afghanistan lacked a genuine fast bowler that day who could bowl those yorkers and bouncers to intimidate him they had spinners who were not getting any help from pitch and they had medium pacers who bowled at 80 mph so he saw that and he went for it not taking any credit from her actually praising his game awareness

[@prathameshsahasrabuddhe8544]

Nahh, they couldn't have bowled body line bowls to him. Had they bowled at his leg, Maxi has a crzy flick which would be like a guaranteed six. You bowl waist high, he goes behind. And you bowl to his head? The guy has a crazy pull shot, though, without the legs, attempting to pull might have been difficult. So, yeah, bowling to his body would not have been a good idea, however, they could have tried bowling wide yorkers or away from his body
