Or more strictly enforce the rules and get players aware of them.
How many modes of dismissal are there? Too many - the precious ‘spirit of cricket’ tarnished by outdated, unnecessary laws
Should have been given out. Giving that out is the first step towards normalising such dismissals, which takes the heat out of them and makes batsmen more careful.
Obstructing the field drama erupts as Sheffield Shield features latest 'spirit of cricket' incident
“While Pat Cummins’ decision to declare at 9/289 – still 22 runs behind – has been widely criticised.”
It has?

“Is it time to remove the bails altogether at the professional level to get some consistency in the age of Zing bails and stumps that light up or is it one of those glorious uncertainties unique to the tradition of this sport which should carry on regardless?” Definitely the latter.
Bails fails: Technology can solve inconsistency of cricket’s wicked wicket ways
Far be it for me to stick up for Yawnion, but the segmented footies are always going to trail the national cricket. Soccer is the footy which might dominate one day, but most everyone who loves Aussie sport has an opinion or interest in the cricket; espesh the Ashes.

True fact: Australia losing close Test matches actually hurts me, so I prefer winning to cricket.
Do Australians love Test cricket or just watching the baggy green side win at home pretty much all the time?
Just another in a long line of dominating sides getting beaten at the post. More often than not, the losing side assumed they were going to win, and didn’t count on the challenger throwing curve balls. As you say, the bowling first, the fielding, the chopping and changing, they all contributed to throwing India off its stride, and India didn’t know how to respond.
Winning a World Cup takes more than just good form: Was India a victim of its own success heading into the final?
The cult of moral victories is spreading.

No. He is “Anthony” and I am “Antony” and I am only two years older than Tubby. On the yes side though, we are both Taylors his dad is Tony and he lived in Wagga and my paternal grandparents were from Wagga. So now that I think about it, I could be.
Cooked wicket paranoia has gone too far - why should World Cup hosts lose a key privilege?
But it wasn’t. It was a little bit more fractious because it was a new wicket in a new ground and plenty of Aussies were hoping, in the case of the fans, and selling (remember the farce of Jan 2008 when the WACA track had less life than the MCG), in the case of the media, but it was nothing like the WACA pre-1985. Any talk about the supposed hostility of WA pitches has been mostly a myth for nearly 40 years, with only the odd pitch fail that helped the Windies. Any talk of Australian curators injecting life into our pitches is is just colour and movement and silly sabre ratting, because in truth our cricket broadcasters panic at any sign a test might not last five days and so demand through CA than pitches go the distance.

And was it frighteningly bouncy?

Accepting that different venues have pitches of a particular character is one thing. Accepting that the home side will prepare particular pitches to disadvantage particular opponents, or change a pitch from that venue’s usual pitch the day before an international match, or change a pitch after the team sheets were in as a Pommy skipper once did, even prepare a particular section of a pitch as India did early this year, is pitch doctoring. Australia on the other hand does not pitch fix. Our pitches maintain their character. And if anything we are far too generous, and the only team we “doctor” pitches for is the “value broadcast partners”.

I wouldn’t get too cocky about another SA choke, since we’re no great side and perfectly capable of stuffing up. SA is bound to win a semi eventually, and it wouldn’t surprise me if that was now. These Indian-style pitches are not our long suit either. It could all come down to who bats first.

In the first innings of the first Ashes Test in 2015, Haddin dropped Root on nought, and Root went on to make a hundred which set up both the Test and series win.

Courtney Browne dropped a sitter off Steve Waugh at Sabina Park in 1995. Waugh was about 30 and went on to make a series-winning 200. Giles dropped Ponting in Adelaide in 2006. Ponting made a hundred and Australia was able to turn the match around and win on day five after England had made 550 batting first.

Abood may be technically right, but he’s guaranteed that next time he stands in a match he will cop some ridiculously over-the-top appeals, which is what umpires are trying to discourage. On the flip side, he may have put paid to celebration-appeals.
