SA vs Aus- World cup warm up

[sand_man]

Yip, the boys are looking sharp. Botha and Parnell the 2 most expensive bowlers respectively with 0 wickets between them.. That's a bit worrying...

the only wicket to fall was from a run-out, poor bowlers.... lol

Yeah, the Aussies might be a little concerned, but think they might feel they had a decent enough run in their one dayers against the Poms.

Neither would be in my starting line up. Think Peterson and Tahir can handle the spin department of our 50 overs.

Anybody know the exact rules concerning retired hurt?? Is it a wicket or not, cricinfo keeps changing the scoreboard, as far as I know only faf was out so it should say we won by 9 wickets, no?

Retiring without injury you give up your wicket and cannot come back in.

Retiring (injured or not) doesn't count as a wicket. But if you retire without an injury, you cannot come back in to bat.

Wrong. Law 2.9 of cricket. If the batsman retires injured/ill he is not out. If he retires for any other reason, he may come back if the opposing captain agrees to it or else he is considered to be out.

9.Batsman retiring
A batsman may retire at any time during his innings when the ball is dead. The umpires, before allowing play to proceed shall be informed of the reason for a batsman retiring.
(a) If a batsman retires because of illness, injury or any other unavoidable cause, he is entitled to resume his innings subject to (c) below. If for any reason he does not do so, his innings is to be recorded as ‘Retired - not out’.
(b) If a batsman retires for any reason other than as in (a) above, he may resume his innings only with the consent of the opposing captain. If for any reason he does not resume his innings it is to be recorded as ‘Retired - out’.
(c) If after retiring a batsman resumes his innings, it shall be only at the fall of a wicket or the retirement of another batsman.
