I've re-installed connect, rebooted, signed out and in again. It appears my Xbox and Ubisoft account are still linked.

[Richard Gregg @odgregg]

@UbisoftSupport I was in the middle of playing Assassin's Creed Valhalla a short while ago (9 hours in) via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and now it (and Odyssey) have disappeared from the Connect app library. I can't activate them again from the Xbox app.

@notout100com I meant should the umpire ask for the 3rd umpire to check if there was an appeal that they missed (as in this case).

[Richard Gregg @odgregg]

@NickWalters1 @cricketcomau Except it's not. There is an appeal (even before he says "no appeal"), and they are allowed to appeal up until the next ball is being bowled, so they are within the law to appeal while talking to him as well. Weird decision by the umpire, but didn't change result at least

[Richard Gregg @odgregg]

@JulianStevens95 And according to the laws of cricket they can appeal up until the next ball is about to be bowled. (so can appeal even after the replay)

[Richard Gregg @odgregg]

@3minboardgames And it's a great game and review! Although I did notice you got the player count wrong, but would anyone actually play it at 8?

[Richard Gregg @odgregg]

@citizen_ncr @volklub @sardesairajdeep @cricketaakash @bhogleharsha No analysis needed? The umpires didn't call over, they didn't signal it a dead ball (there's a signal for that for a reason, and can be post a dismissal), in their decision it was still a live ball.

[Richard Gregg @odgregg]

@DeanHeywood19 @piersmorgan @PiersUncensored Wow, now that's bad! But still out

[Richard Gregg @odgregg]

@citizen_ncr @volklub There's no such rule though. The umpires move all the time while ball is live.

[Richard Gregg @odgregg]

@HedgeyHedgehog @Zalzator @MarkBoxsell @StuartBroad8 @piersmorgan He didn't touch his bat down, so I'm not sure what you were watching? He walked to the middle of pitch on the previous two balls which weren't the end of over.

[Richard Gregg @odgregg]

@elTav @brouhaha69 @AlisonFlp1 @Paulnico199 @Adamtrim @SkyCricket Correct. The umpires ruled the ball wasn't dead, so it's out. He did the exact same thing twice previously in the over so he wasn't taking any lead from the umpire.

[Richard Gregg @odgregg]

@Skipjack1011 @ScottHosking3 @jonnyjamesjones @KenFay10 @DrScottWatkins To be fair, end of over meant nothing to him as he did exactly the same thing the previous two balls. And the last ball of an over shouldn't be any different to any other ball as far as the ball being live or not.

[Richard Gregg @odgregg]

@Fadingbubbles @piersmorgan So you have to give a warning for a stumping???

[Richard Gregg @odgregg]

@DeepakDeo18 @BenWayAUS Does the batsmen get some sort of free pass on the last ball of an over when the ball is still live? So can't get stumped on the last ball?

[Richard Gregg @odgregg]

@whitaker_andrew @icatchtrams @TheBarmyArmy So as long as have had your foot behind the line at some point, you can't be stumped? No.

[Richard Gregg @odgregg]

@James59653408 @DW_AFC @tovers98 Not according to the laws of the game. And how do you explain stumpings then?

[Richard Gregg @odgregg]

@3minboardgames I like the look of that light strip, I assume it would help cut down on shadows?

[Richard Gregg @odgregg]

@BenThePCGuy They've been gone here for a decade and it's not really an issue. Now we've also phased out single use plastic takeaway containers as well.

[Richard Gregg @odgregg]

@oliagavrysh @shanselman Interesting. I might have to try this on our large 4.8 solution with I think 36 projects in it. If we could get some further performance improvements in sure our users would appreciate it, but I'm not sure the business would want to risk the upgrade.
