He's been dining out on that story ever since. Whatever damage it did to them was a small price to pay.

And the suggestion that no fielder can touch the pitch is as stupid as it comes. It takes away catches on the pitch, some run outs and fieldsmen crossing over when right and left handed batting combinations are playing. |
Catches and run outs are in the play. Not stuffing around outside the play for no reason.
Even in the play, bowlers have to get off the pitch to avoid the protected zone. That's not easy. Batsmen cannot run on the pitch going for a run. The ump will warn them. I don't know what the penalty is for batsmen, though... Can they award 5 runs to the other team now?
I'm pretty sure I've seen fielders crossing over from left to right jumping over the pitch. Maybe they're doing more than they need to. |

“You stand roughly where the batsman is going to stand, look at where the rough is going to be and work out is your bowler bowling too short, too full, those sorts of things,” Taylor said.

But that's clearly for captaincy reasons, so it's not relevant for non-captains. And if you want to stand there, you don't need to start scratching at the pitch etc. Just ban it all. Save all problems.
Next thing we'll hear some reason why Langer knocking off the bails was totally reasonable... |
