See Buttler got fined for his little spat with Philander.
Rightly so. Vern has every right to stand his ground. Why the hell the fielder even had to get the ball back to Jos in that situation is beyond me anyway. He just had to flick it to the bowler.

I believe that I read somewhere that a cricket ball is used for 25 hours. Is that true?
Over 100 balls are gone through in a major league baseball game which typically lasts three hours.
The pitchers aren't allowed to pitch dirty or scuffed ones into play.
The ones hit into the stands are kept by the fans who catch them.
The ball played in the last out of a half-inning is generally tossed to a kid in the stands by the player who winds up with it.
However, an official Major League baseball costs about fifteen bucks in a sporting goods store and about half that to the major league teams buying hundreds of dozens at once.
They were $2.50 in a sporting goods store when I was a boy...the official major league ones that is. You could buy a playable ball for a buck, then.
I imagine that a cricket ball costs much more, although I see quite a wide range of prices on the internet.
The Test or ODI thing is confusing, though.

No. How long it is used for will depend on what format they are playing ie test match, 50 overs, 20/20 etc.
In a test match a new ball is available after 80 overs and it is up to the bowling team to decide if they want to take it straight away or carry on with the original ball. In most cases they won't go past 90 overs before changing the ball. They are supposed to bowl 15 overs an hour so 90 overs should be one day's play or 6 hours. In reality they often only manage 80 overs in a day so a ball in test match cricket will be used for somewhere between 6 and 8 hours.
In a 50 over match they will use one ball for the whole 50 overs. They did experiment with using two new balls in 50 over cricket, one from each end but not sure if they dropped that or if it is still going. Assuming the first case the ball will be used for around 3 - 3+ 1/2 hours.
In 20/20 cricket they use a new ball for each innings so the ball is only used for a couple of hours.

Two balls in 50 over innings. Hence lack of reverse swing, and game made easier for batters.

What next, fielder allowed in the crowd?
Time to take the ropes back to make proper sized outfield and end this comedy

Disagree. With the fine. Happy that Buttler gave him a volley. It’s Test cricket, imho.

This track is so slow today. The wind will blow from the west tomorrow which will dry it out and quicken it up, just as England get the ball

2 proper traps laid and walked into there by the openers. They won’t be happy with that.
maharaj is going to be massive in this test.

In days gone by you used to have fast and bouncy wickets. Is my memory wrong and if not what has changed and why?

Maharaj has bowled over 30 overs on day 1, poor lads gonna be knackered before the 2nd inns comes around!!!! Who'd be a quick bowler if this is the sort of heap youre expected to bend your back on lol, sort of deck Mark Wood will put himself out for the next 6 months injured on!
Whys Rabada not getting the new nut? Or is the deck the reason? Doesnt make much sense to me
I see all our top 6 got to 25, none of them to 50 yet!!!

Not everyone is a big fan of his + not sure if I posted ths one earlier.. A must hear interview with Kohli
It is a full series, the other one is where he talks about his fathers's death and its impact on him.

BBC cricket seems to think Stokes and Pope have given England a slight advantage but personally I'd see it as a very level first day and SA will be happy to have got four wickets on that pitch and keeping England under 250 and England will have been happy with the opening stand and getting through and the impetus Stokes and Pope gave at the end of the day.

Rabada is looking like getting a fine and a demerit point for his celebration when he castled Root.
He will now probably miss the last test. The ICC are an absolute set of Corbyns!
Pathetic
