RT @CJCau: @rickeyrecricket It’s a great thread, it rings true for Aussie kids of the 70s & 80s too as cricket moved on to 9.

@Conigman That was a bad one in reply to Conigman 21:31:58, 2020-12-22
@Conigman That's one example of the slack I would cut. Set a time limit for the video or send it back to the umpire in reply to Conigman 21:43:57, 2020-12-22
