There is a rule for only 2 short balls per over above shoulder height though.

SL game getting interesting again .. 185-6 .. need 43 from 6 overs .. 1.37

Thanks. I was familiar with the 2 short ball rule, but I didn't know there was a separate one that accounted for how ****ty the batsman is.

I haven't heard of that rule but it is probably only enforced in a test match if a tailender is batting against a lighting fast bowler.

Afghanistan are atrocious in the field. They should have won this easily.

Just bet a wee bit on India at $1.60 to win

Thats probably dumb with their bowling attack but 300 + will be tough as we have seen so far in the tourney

Keen for a sweat

Edit: they obv lose another wicket immediately after I bet

Great fielding from ABD .. gets Jadeja run-out .. India wheels slightly falling off .. amazing how MCG consistently is hard to score runs, last 10.

India 284-6 after 47.3 .. India 1.90
