It's an illegal delivery so a free hit seems fair enough to me? 2007 is when I think the powers that be started messing about with the rules, but only for limited overs cricket I think.
If they are not messing around with rules they are messing around with formats. In the mean time the ship is sinking.

Was that MCG capacity for Ind v Pakistan? 100,000?
Right! That’s the bit I didn’t get, was following on the text commentary. Thanks.

the aussies are going at a decent scoring rate for a test match in pursuit of 158 after letting SriL get away a bit at the death.
They really cant afford to lose this having been walloped by the kiwi's
First boundaries arrives in the 8th over as they appear to realise the urgency of the situation.
.. and now the "big show" starts, brutal by Maxwell 22 of his first 6 balls, he could be single handedly winning this one if he keeps this up
(Finch has 23 of 33 balls at this point)
damn Stoinis saved their blushes

England's turn to be looking like slipping up today. Whilst they pegged back Ireland in the later overs, the flying start Ireland made is the difference at the moment.
Malan gone now - Ali and Livingston to the rescue??
looking at the in play clips the ball is doing a fair bit

and it raining just as Ali was one lusty blow away from getting England back ahead on D/L.

Yes bowled badly at the start, Woakes particularly, and never got going with the bat until the 3 balls before the rain! When there is rain around its pretty basic that you need to get ahead of D/L score. Malan got himself in but kept plodding on at less than a run a ball rather than finding the boundary and getting the run-rate up.
With only 2 from each group of 6 going onto semi's then we need to win at least 2 if not all 3 from the games with Aus, SriL and NZ. Losing 2 games in this format usually means you are then on net run rate decider.

Oh dear. Well played Ireland, had a suspicion this would be a tough game.

Only really had themselves to blame. They should have known the DL par score.
Even though I suspect they could have knocked off 52 from 33 balls at the death.

Ind v SA on ... some good attack bowling from SA ripped through those star batsmen. Not over yet though, good fight back by India.
