umm i need to do research about ricky ponting.

i checked his stats from baggygreen, and his stats came under there:

first class
one day internationals
tests
LIST A LIMITED OVERS

and i'm just wondering if ne1 can tell me wot the list a limited overs and first class r, (specificly)

 

[rasi]

limited overs and first class are domestic one-dayers and 5/4/3 dayers resp.

 

[wackojacko]

first calss is also a 4 day freindly against non test nations

 

[rasi]

Even a game between two test-playing international teams can be called a limited overs/ first class match if the match is not authorised by the ICC

This is a long one, so be patient

Note the "from the ICC" bit in what I said.

I gave a source, therefore there is no problem.

And I put the rule up about using sources, so I think I know what I'm doing.

And it wasn't from a site anyway, it was from a book.

And in any case the ICC's laws (including laws of the game, rules of qualification for international cricket and descriptions of what is a first class match) are completely free from copyright and in the public domain, so they can be used anywhere, as long as you credit the ICC, which I did.

 

[Sanju]

No probs then.... B) :cheer: :

 

[andrew_nixon]

I would suggest that in future, you check carefully before accusing someone of breaking the rules.
