2019 Cricket

How do I listen to TMS on my mobile? Tried listening on the BBC app, but every time the phone locks itself after 1 min it goes quiet
 
Over rate is a disgrace this morning.

How can they make lost time up when they are 5 overs short in the 1st session?

It seems to be the norm these days, about time something was done as the the people paying good money to watch are being ripped off.

I know in my playing days in League cricket Umpires were on your back if they thought fielding side were taking too long to bowl the 50 overs and points deductions were enforced at times.
 
As someone who is beginning to enjoy watching cricket more, but knowing little about it, can someone explain the rationale behind the "pitching in line "
requirement to make it lbw in the Wade decision?
It seemed clear to me that if the computer tracker had gone on to check the impact, that the ball would clearly have clobbered the stumps.
So why is that tracker not completed . ?
Why does the law say that the ball must bounce in line, and not consider it going on further ( to hit ,or not ,the stumps), if it doesn't bounce in line.?

Surely the idea should be whether his leg stopped the ball hitting stumps, and if it did, he should be out?

Cheers
 
If a ball pitches outside the leg stump, you can not be lbw. This applies to both right and left handers, though with most bowlers being right handed, you tend to notice this more with left handed batsman. As soon as ball is seen to pitch outside leg, no need to carry on with review.

If ball was allowed to pitch outside leg, you would get loads of lbw’s as harder for a batsman to hit a ball outside his legs. (Unless you are Steve Smith)

Horrendous all the time and the powers that be dont care at all! They recently removed the ability to suspend the captain based on over rates (replaced by being able to fine all players) just a horrid decision

Nothing will actually change until they introduce proper (runs) penalties.

Best suggestion I saw was if the fielding side is behind the rate you remove one of their players from the field. 5 overs later if still behind you remove another etc

the pitching outside leg stump part of the lbw law was brought in to stop the fielding side being negative and bowling a predominantly leg stump line (and most likely from around the wicket too), would be a very different game if they could so with a heavy leg side field

Great idea, even better if you remove one of the bowlers!
 
change your phone lock to 30 mins inactivity?

... it is my work mobile, so lockout time is a forced for security reasons.. cant change that. I was hoping that the BBC app would keep playing the same way as some of the radio apps which play even when the phone is locked

or maybe use somthing like tune in radio, that doesnt usually turn off

.. any one that plays TMS? The TMS youtube stream is not playable in the UK.
