Cricket is a game which involves a lot of calculations, manipulations, emotions, sentiments, arguments. It is a second religion to all who follow it with SACHIN being the prime god. But, have you ever thought of who the priests are? and what exactly the association of priests in cricket known as? Yes, you have read it rite priests do exist in the religion of cricket and there is an association for priests. The association is known as Marylebone Cricket Club (M.C.C) and it's members are none other than the priests. They are the one who got the rights to create rules in the game of cricket. Now a days these guys are partial to the batsmen which are evident from the rules that they have made.
A NEW BALL FROM EACH END
In modern era the final 5 overs of an innings are giving runs at a rate of 12+, thanks to this rule of new ball from each end with which a bowler cannot reverse swing the art invented to restrict flow of runs in death, not able to spin in middle overs as the ball hasn't lost it's luster. The only good reason beside this rule is a bowler can keep the ball which is less damaged in his memory if he has achieved some thing with it. Which do happen once in a blue moon.
MIN OF 5 FIELDERS INSIDE DURING THE NON PP
Can any captain bring an ideal field set during the non power plays without restricting the ideas of the bowlers. Hell no might the answer. 4 defenders can't even defend a goal in a foot ball game how come you expect 4 fielders to block the entire boundary ropes in cricket. Mistime a pull and u will end up with a boundary if it has taken the top edge and fly towards the third man as u rarely find a deep third man.
FREE HIT AFTER BOWLING A LEG NOBALL
A bowler will feel guilty of bowling a no ball and he finds pepper on the wound by looking at the umpire signalling a free hit. Bowler bowling a no ball adds extra run to score card and a free hit of the very next ball which can be trashed any way with the batsmen's will. Is there any negative point if the batsmen has edged a delivery or is the batsmen given out for edging a ball.Why always does a bowler need to suffer.
