@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

Christopher Martin-Jenkins on his way to 99 at Lord's for Marlborough College against Rugby at Lord's, August 1st 1963. His side fell 22 runs short. Rugby are wearing their distinctive duck-egg blue shirts (yes, I know the photo is B&W...)

@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.

@SACAUK @aidybidd Of course, the more efficient path would be for county academies to offer this kind of support themselves to everyone who needs it. In this sense, hopefully SACA acts as a model teams can copy.

The South Asian Cricket Academy is producing more county-quality players than any county academy at a tenth of the cost. If there were 5 or 6 such academies, with a remit broadened to cover all state-schooled cricketers, cricket's class inequalities could be reversed in years.

Jafer, a leggie who bowls a little like Shahid Afridi, is a new signing for @YorkshireCCC . 6th person from @SACAUK (4th player) to sign for a first-class county.

@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.

@aidybidd @dafrankland We're currently trying to raise funds to help this sector. Slightly different task as support is needed earlier in the pathway but still support is needed and hopefully we can help.

@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.

@aidybidd It also challenges the general county academy mode of operation, which essentially only gives boys up to the age of 17 to win a place in the squad. Some people will develop later, and are currently being missed.

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?

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.

@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.

@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.

@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"

Does highlight another issue with the rules as they stand though. There’s no risk to Zampa doing this . I like the idea that a failed attempt should be a no ball and a free hit. Bring some stakes for the bowler beyond public shaming.
Adam Collins@collinsadam

Short-term pain for Zampa who will lose a bit of paint online (and won't care in the slightest, he's a big boy) but good for the game as this will help educate millions on how the law works in relation to the expected point of release.

@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.

Quite like this "arm beyond the vertical" criterion for mankads. It's not anywhere in the laws, but it's better than the woolly bollocks that is in the laws and it's very correct of everyone to immediately treat arm verticality as a long-established element of these decisions.

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.

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.

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 .....
