I never understood "The Spirit of the Game" BS, especially for Mankading. Rules are there for a reason. If the non-striker can get outside the crease with no risk - then the risk of run-out itself is very less. As such, the game is very skewed in favor of Batsmen. What's the point in allowing even more favors that will reduce interest in the game? You are outside the crease - you are not safe period, that is the spirit of the game.

 

And this lady was making a habit of going out of the crease continuously for an unfair advantage. Why should she not be dismissed?

India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah was on Thursday ruled out of the T20 World Cup with a stress fracture, dealing a massive blow to the team's chances in the ICC event.

 

This keeps getting bad!

I feel there is too much cricket being played around resulting in more injuries, don't remember main team players getting injured this frequently in 2010's. 

 

Arshdeep has been doing quite well for Punjab Kings in death and is somewhat replicating the same in the international level. Deepak chahar is the only option we have to replace Bumrah, Really don't want to see Avesh Khan in the team anytime soon.

 

Chances of Making it to the semis are like 50%, We will be playing against WI-Pak-SA-BAN-ZIM/IRE. SA-PAK seem to be the only competition in this group, If we beat one of them we are through (Unless we lose an easy match). But will most likely be facing AUS/NZ in semis which would be impossible to win in Australian conditions.

what too much cricket? most of our stars only play ipl and even pick and choose international matches. some only play overseas matches or some just home matches. they dont play domestic cricket or county or any other overseas leagues and are still injured half the year. compare this with players who play t20 leagues world over and are still ready to go most of the time.
