transmeditate and discover the nature of a distraction that is in the
mind of someone who has decided to cry distracted after the
event.................. What ***n signal do you suggest? I reckon the
umpire should stick his finger up his ass and sit on his elbow and
wave nicely at the batsman until the scorers figure it out.
Simples, this incident has become an issue because of international
exposure, and mcc are worried that it may become a fashion or tactic.
A Pre-emptive law change strike which is something mcc don't often do,
and without any apparent consideration of the effect of the change on
other laws, which is amazing.
