Whats a Brand Ambassador when its at home?

India is not a subcontinent, yet you're right to an extent as India dominates cricket here.

That makes no sense in relation to what I just said.

Quick question - can you declare in a Limited Overs match? I know no one will want to, but is it legally allowed?

Also, are you allowed to declare in the 4th innings of a FC game even if you haven't scored the runs required? Or declare in the 3rd innings while still behind?

1. Time of declaration
The captain of the side batting may declare an innings closed, when the ball is dead, at any time during the innings.

I presume you can with regards to the FC game. Not sure about the limited overs question

Someone tell me if I'm wrong here but I believe it was allowed at some point but due to the way the laws worked in relation to OD matches you had to have the same amount of overs as the other team. So one team for the first overs went hell for leather then declared leaving the other team little chances of getting the runs in the same amount of overs. They got charged with ungentlemenly conduct and the result was overturned. They then changed it.

I could be talking complete codswallop here but I'm sure I remember that occurring.

No your not. It was a really famous incident in county cricket, where I think it was Somerset were top of the OD League and the only way they weren't going to win the title was if they were beaten and their NRR took a big hit. So I think they batted for a short period of time, then declared the innings and they went on to win the title because of it. So, no I'm fairly sure after that they changed the rules and you can't declare in an OD game.

Brain Lara eventually scored 65 thats a pretty handy knock

I think that is what he is aiming for.

I hope he joins the Mumbai Indians. Tendulkar - Lara FTW

IMO Jaya will probably be axed. He barely played anyways, they seem to prefer a guy like Dhawan.

Chris Harris played in that match as well.
