Comments on: That game when Kane Williamson’s most exciting contribution was a bye https://www.kingcricket.co.uk/that-game-when-kane-williamsons-most-exciting-contribution-was-a-bye/2023/03/13/ Independent and irreverent cricket writing Wed, 15 Mar 2023 10:22:18 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.1.3 By: Bert https://www.kingcricket.co.uk/that-game-when-kane-williamsons-most-exciting-contribution-was-a-bye/2023/03/13/#comment-271913 Wed, 15 Mar 2023 10:22:18 +0000 https://www.kingcricket.co.uk/?p=28301#comment-271913 The final picture is weird in so many ways. How did the bowler end up facing the way he did, having just thrown the ball what is now, for him, backwards? We have a disappearing umpire but two new fielders, including one who is unquestionably completely stationary. There is no way he can have moved to get into that position, it must be the same wormhole shown to exist in the earlier photo.

This is as far as a Phlog (photo blog, if I may) can go in any competitive sport. I can not imagine any other last moment situationin cricket by which the winning side can be declared. Oh, yes, there is another possibility; what if one of the batters were to run himself out! On a time scale that would be a nano second earlier than completion of the winning run, and the result would be a #tiedtest! This is crazy.

No longer do “we need more ties”…henceforward…”we need more byes”.

Astonishing that Wagner was injured but he ran like crazy without giving any chance for a Mankad.

This should be a lesson in running for dear life !!

Going by the previous image, it looks like some sort of wormhole opened up in the grass and tried to suck him in.

That is such a delicious detail. There was a winning run that no-one hit.

Oh, nobody. I missed the ball completely but we ran anyway.

Cricket rules are insane.
