South Africa were up against England who had made 252. South Africa were 231 for six in the 43rd over when rain intervened. Play was held up for 12 minutes when the match \nrestarted south africa had to chase 22 runs from 1 ball.\n      that's a weird situation.but do you know that the rain rule used before the tournament was just based on run rate.this rule was much more advanced than that one\n   also,i believe that most people might not have given too much thought on it.after that match much more research was done on it. \n  till recently ICC insisted that these rain rules should be simple enough to work even with a simple portable calculator-so that eliminates computer-aid from the equation.also that would mean that no use of graphs.so the rule can never be that precise then\n    back then,it was just thought as an alternative to get a result for ,a rain effected match

Three might be better!!! (lol!)\nOne should be on the field and he should consult another refs who should have a tv screen [just like third umpire in cricket] and tell certain decisions [like fouls n freekicks]

No this rule is not fair at all. The teams have to announce the 11 and the super-sub before the toss, which is stupid and proof that ICC is full of schmucks. It benefits the team that wins the toss. Rest is all luck. With little amendments, as Inzamam said, it can work okay. For e.g. teams should be allowed to announce super-sub after the toss. This is stil not very interesting rule. The powerplay rules is good though. Test cricket can do without this silly super-sub rule. It's cricket not soccer.

Nowadays, cricket is becoming a lousy sport. Now people don't think of cricket of a sport, but as if it is a religion which can be named as 'Cricketism' . It is not played like a proper game like football where the manager of a team should choose the players very carefully so that the team wins. But now politics is an important thing going on in cricket. And I think that my country, India, is causing such a problem like the harrassment of former captain Sourav Ganguly. They can keep a pitch which the home team loves so that the away team loses. So the home team wins just like that and get points from ICC which is the International Cricket Council. It is not like football where anything can happen and the pitch of the stadium is just like any other grass pitch of a football game. So the game can't be predictable. Who plays the game better wins. But in cricket, the home team plays in its strength and the away team plays in its weakness. You may also see that though Bangladesh loses to Australia in home, they play better than they play in Australia. But you see in football. Anything can happen. See, Barcelona has defeated AC Milan in an away game but drew in a home game or it can happen as Arsenal has defeated Villareal at Highbury but has drew at Villareal's stadium. Even my Physical Education teacher says that cricket is a lousy game these days. Only 20 countries play cricket. But , games like football and tennis are popular in almost all the countries. Cricket is not a sport in the Olympics. These are the side effects of cricket. So, whenever says to me what is your favourite sport, I say football instead of cricket. And you see, its just a waste of time. Can you believe it, for five days the same match is going to be played. And that is not a delay. How funny.

Well firstly I am an Aussie.\nI have to say, they are very aggressive, and that comes across as arrogance. I think a lot of people whinge and complain about the way they play, but at the end of the day, they play hard but fair, and get the job done, which is why they are ODI and Test champions at the moment.\nHaving said that, the thing that occurred on the winners podium at the Champions Trophy was too much. It was rude and incomprehesable. I am not really sure what the players involved were thinking to be honest. However, the did issue personal and public apologies.\nI am sure it was just an over the top reaction in the excitement of the moment, and not a true reflection of their character.

Yes to some extent.  Further ICC is always having soft corner to all countries except the ones from asia

I've already answered a similar question before. I'll 'copy' & 'paste' that one.\n\nPlayers are rated on a scale of 0 to 1000 points. If a player’s performance is improving on his past record, his points increase; if his performance is declining his points will go down. \n\n****There is no human intervention in this calculation process, and no subjective assessment is made of the quality of the pitch or of the players. \n\n**** There is a common misconception that there is an expert panel that sits down to assess the pitch in each match. In fact, all the Ratings calculations are based purely on the information in the scorecard\n\nTEST RANKINGS\n\nBATSMEN\n*runs scored \n*ratings of the opposing bowling attack; the higher the combined ratings of the attack, the more value is given to the batsman’s innings (in proportion\n*the level of run-scoring in the match, and the team’s innings total\n*out or not out (a not out innings receives a bonus) \n*the result. Batsmen who score highly in victories receive a bonus-value of opposition counts\n\nfor BOWLERS\n*wickets taken and runs conceded; \n*ratings of the batsmen dismissed \n*the level of run-scoring in the match\n*the result\n\n*Players who miss a Test match for their country, for whatever reason, lose 1% of their points.\n\n*New players start at zero points, and need to establish themselves before they get full ratings. There is a scale for calculating qualifications ( see the link for details)\n\n*ONE DAY RANKINGS\n*The principles behind the ODI Ratings are similar to those for the Test Ratings, \n*Batsmen gain significant credit for rapid scoring. \n*bowlers gain significant credit for economy. \n*Players lose only ½ % of their points for missing a match for their country\n*All ODI matches are considered equal, except for ICC Cricket World Cup matches, where good performances gain extra credit\n\n*Big scores or wicket hauls against very weak nations get much less credit than the same performances against the main ODI countries.
