ICC Chairman
Mate , I`ve been playing Premier League Club cricket for about 9 years now , and whenever a guy is even remotely close to the sightscreen , the umpire or Batsmen will wave him away from the sightscreen as he is a disturbance to the batsmen. Plain and simple . Not even in Primary school were we allowed to have someone there.
But maybe the Aussies were brought up differently![]()
it's a "legal" position - there is nothing in the laws to prevent it. this has been covered repeatedly elsewhere.
so yeah, Aussies were perhaps brought up to have an ignorance of the law?
