@PictureSporting A child playing in a pointless junior school game against other children in a game that means nothing (lot less than the famous leagues at the time) but at Lords because they are wealthy enough to go to a privileged school. - Fixed it for you

@dafrankland @SACAUK I think its brilliant what's happening, being from the Black Country my junior cricket was playing in mixed or even majority British Asian sides. Which again I think is the experience most Urban Clubbies have and also why we are so frustrated at the current set up.

[Aden @aidybidd]

@SACAUK @dafrankland I contacted you last year about an @thefortyclub game but it never materialised. As well a the Private Schools we are playing more state and academics (Wickersley, Bradford College, Huddesfield NC, Yorks Cricket College), in Yorks and NE Area specifically but also East Mids.

[Aden @aidybidd]

@dafrankland Well I totally agree, I've know many players who became fantastic players in their 20's. Also myself I was only in age groups at 16/17 was hopeless when I was 11/12 but the academy is already picked by that age and they (along with private school kids) accelerate in experience.

But when the big moment comes they are there with the roar of the crowd. In both sports those 4 are top class in my view. p.s Smithy would be top notch on darts can we make this happen?

[Aden @aidybidd]

I honestly believe that Part and Mardle are up there with Smithy and Ian Bishop from the Cricket world. They key is they call the game as opposed to talk over it and as ex players provide you with snippets of insight (Part especially).

[Ben Coley @BenColeyGolf]

I’ve left it for a bit and rewatched and I’m telling you, this is top-10 all-time commentary from Mardle. Up there in recent terms with Ian Smith’s barest of margins.

I once got a 9 darts 301 D-in D-out against Jason Lowe in a one leg Monday night League in the Black Country so I can completely empathise with the elation felt by Michael Smith ;) Seriously though what a game amazing darting ability from both.

[Aden @aidybidd]

@GryllidaeC Any definitive position is fine, release of the ball, back/front foot landing any part of the body passes the popping crease. The key to this debate (and Butler v Ashwin) in the level of ambiguity the law gives weather its any of the above or another it needs a definate point.

[Aden @aidybidd]

@collinsadam @127J_H I would like it to be the landing of the bowlers back foot. Stops spinners pausing for ages and is even when currently it is impossible for fast bowlers to do unless the batter is already half way down when you run in.

[Aden @aidybidd]

@collinsadam @127J_H If you are in the outfield or keeping and fake field the ball that now 5 run penalty. This attempt and others given out are OK but in amateur cricket there are many instances of "fake bowl"

[Aden @aidybidd]

@tickerscricket The law as currently written is quantifiable enough. Arm beyond vertical, back foot lands, Stumps broken from behind the bowling crease. Are all decent suggestions for a more clarified wording which still very much enables run outs to still happen.

[Aden @aidybidd]

A perfect example of the @BdJcricket Law Change. Can only break the stumps from behind but not in front. This is a good example where the batter is in their ground when the back foot lands. These are the ones I think personally are unfair and get into fake fielding.

[Melissa Story @melissagstory]

Here’s that failed run-out from Zampa - his arm had passed the vertical in his delivery action

[Aden @aidybidd]

Don't want to ban crazy athletic fielding but maybe "playing conditions" and "laws" can be split more and TV pundits can explain this better. Might help delineate the two.

[Aden @aidybidd]

Thought I would weigh in on this, correct call as per the rules is "out" think overall from most people who know about this they agree, does there need to be a law change? Well maybe but with some other considerations .....

[Melinda Farrell @melindafarrell]

Thoughts on this?

[Aden @aidybidd]

My view with some of the more innovative fielding in international cricket its cool on the TV but I've seen people try it at club level and there are many dangers out there. After the story of a slide resulting in a stake going through a players leg.
