Answer 1

Putting a Squash Ball in a Batting Glove is illegal
by ICC laws.Infact any thing...But one ausie did it.
So keep your mouth shut about it........!!!
that's why i say ,..This was a "Staged -drama" to award Australia the 2007 world Cup.
no body like to accuse gilchrist nor australia.
whem Cronje did this it was abig hue & cry.
when Asie does that everybody accept it.
too bad man, disguting.but now
some people start to say it was More ....Like "WWF"- Wrestling Drama, everything went on according to the script.Whilst I am not that happy nesessarily, that Australia has won the World Cup.But I feel for Sri Lanka who never really had a decent chance to chase the Australian's total. A "Terrible end to a Disappointing" World Cup which has done nothing to advance the game.
I believe that Australia is fighting unit and would have not beaten Srilanka over 50 overs.But having the final reduced to 38 overs and then played in the dark was a Joke.

Both teams should be given a fair opportunity. I ask the Sri Lankan supporters who have been so outspoken in their dispair of Australian supporters (only gentemen-not some good 4 nothing hooligans) not to blame Ausies for this farce.

Instead Blame the ICC who seem to make up rules as they go along. Personally I would have liked to see the match moved to Sunday so that we could have a real game of cricket and not the joke that ensued.
AUS got WC 2007 , but SL played under pressure.When the Final was on the same time their Capital city was attacked by Terrorists.Rain took over the match.
Toss was the ridiculously deciding Facter.
Sri Lankan Players got the ....................
"Terrorists attacking Colombo"- news and Panicked ..
and that did not exactly helped to Lankan course to Victory
much.

Their(Cricketers) kids wives & parents all living in Colombo.
They dont know how far it affected ,towards > target & Bad light as well as Rain.
ICC must answer this question. I dont know these whyICC morons did not call this game to next day?
Utter non sense..!!
And even limit the final to 25 overs. ( In rainy day even kid knows dark will come soon in evening )
Begining ICC has to limit this game to 25 overs or call to next day.
But ICC & organizers want "Business" than the cricket game.
No doubt AUS is a good team.
So how SL or any other team can face "OZ" in bad lights?
This is the worst game I ever saw. Organisers had no common sense at all. they did according to the "Script" that Somehow or other "Australia must Win"
We were in no need of the victory so badly like Australia.
But we don't want like this stupid End either.

we did not bribe Umpires.we didnot Bragged either.
I again wish,Long live asian Cricket.
It can hurt ausies a bit ,i surely know.But ICC descrimination towards Asian players ? Can it be Pardened?
Dissapointing world cup Ever....2007
now every body jump to say dont blame
on these Noble Australians.
Oh phuleeeze .. gimme a break...!!..What a hypocracy,
what i can not understand is some Asian peolpe seems deaf & bling about this

when in Australia once Murali Was bowling The Racist australian crowd shouted that " no Ball"
Inthat match whenever Muralitharan took the Ball..
these so called Noble Australian Racist shouted
" no Ball"...." NO ball"...
they chanted all the while.
anybody ,objected?
I dont think so...Sir..I dont think so...Sir

Have any stood up against it ?SOME Fans..EH?
some cricket loving fans...
Parden them? you gonna say that?
when we now criticize them what they do?
They use dirty language..They use dirty language..
But.. they get away all the time..why?
Cuz they R so good at acting Innocent.....
Squash ball or Alien ball , dont Talk.
cuz Australians did it .
what ever it's Australia..you R supposed to
shut your ****...about it
Hail to Thee.. The Galent Sri Lankans(Lions)
Hip Hip Hurray

Answer 2

regardless of if that's this form of super benefit to apply a squash ball then why are not greater gamers employing it? all the squash ball does is alter the way Gilchrist grips the bat, which isn't unlawful. The ICC have not made it unlawful by using fact there is not any grounds to make it unlawful. so a techniques as removing the credit (i'm assuming you advise the win), no that doesn't take place for an elementary reason. If something is made unlawful AFTER the actuality then it could in straightforward terms be enacted via the ICC in circumstances that happen from that element on. in any different case no wicket that Murali took nor any game that his group gained in the previous the hot regulations have been enacted permitting the 15 degree arm bend could depend.

Answer 3

iam not sure why he put a squash ball in is batting glove, if that helped in getting a better grip of the bat, then its unfair, ICC has no regulations regarding that, ICC just specifies the size,type and colour of gloves to be used by batsman

Answer 4

I'll tell you what,ICC laws are all aimed at protecting their corporate interests.For example,the logo on the players's uniforms and bats etc.
The ICC officials dont care what is inside the uniform because as long as their corporate partners are not affected,they dont care.So it is well within the law.

Answer 5

This is the first time I have come across such an incident. I strongly feel that it may not be against ICC Law as otherwise such an experienced player would not have used it.

Answer 6

must be. THere are already some things in the gloves like that incase you hurt your finger. It hurts when the ball hits the tip of your finger. I guess with fast bowlers you need an entire squash ball there.

Answer 7

bat

Answer 8

If it is, now it could have been a controversy. So, it is either not illegal or ICC might be in confusion to take a decision.

Answer 9

anything done by any team except india is legal by ICC

Answer 10
