The article states:

If a fielder is injured or becomes ill during a match, a substitute is allowed to field instead of him, but the substitute cannot bowl, act as a captain or keep wicket...

This was changed in 2017, I believe. For instance, it happened today in the IPL:

An umpire signals a decision to the scorers

As the contributor comments, "I'm not entirely sure what the umpire (Simon Taufel) is signalling, but I'm sure it's important."

I'm sure this isn't any official signal, and it probably isn't a signal to the scorers at all. Anyone got a picture of a commonplace signal of some significance?

It's a bit ambiguous. He could be calling byes or he could be giving a batsman out. On first glance I thought the former, but when I blew it up, I thought the latter. Yes, we ought to replace it, it's not a great photo for this reason and others. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 13:29, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

Bail or Bails?

In the very first paragraph, it says "*a bail* balanced on three stumps". Is the Bail (cricket) article wrong, or is this wrong? This one seems to be, but I am surprised. Am I missing something? Peacedance (talk) 17:41, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

Ha! You are right. There are two bails, not one. I believe there was only one bail way back in antiquity when there were only two stumps. Only one bail needs to be removed for a dismissal to be possible, though. Well spotted. Scribbles by The Scribbler (talk) 21:21, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

The introduction says "When ten players have been dismissed, the innings end and the teams swap roles." Shouldn't that be "innings ends"? 208.95.49.47 (talk) 13:50, 30 November 2018 (UTC) 208.95.49.47 (talk) 13:50, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

 Not done: the innings (plural) end (plural). It could have been "inning (singular) ends (singular)" but "innings (plural) ends (singular)" in wrong DannyS712 (talk) 16:17, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

Could someone perform the edit I requested above? Clearly DannyS doesn't understand that "innings" can be singular in cricket. 208.95.49.47 (talk) 19:44, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

 Done, but as an American, this sounds horribly wrong, so it's understandable that this was denied at first without additional explanation. Usage of "innings" as a singular is apparently a British English thing, and since the rest of the article follows this usage and since this article uses British English, I've gone ahead and made the change, strange as it seems to me. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 20:51, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

@Deacon Vorbis: thanks. Sorry, I should have been more careful. Apologies to the IP editor. --DannyS712 (talk) 22:01, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

Runs for wickets vs. wickets for runs

In the entire cricketing world, except Australia, a score is given as e.g. 156 (runs) for 7 (wickets). In Australia it's the reverse: 7 for 156. Can anyone tell me how and why and when this change happened Down Under? -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 23:14, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

Apparently, it was Ned Gregory's fault. [1]. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 18:58, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
