A Silly Law which deserves to be changed (Followed by a story on Do not get too carried away by Yuvraj's form

If the Indian batsmen have not killed the match for Pakistan, a silly law today put the expiry stamp on Pakistan chances.

Pakistan pace spearhead Shoaib Akhtar was in genuine discomfort yesterday as he missed most of the final two sessions to go for an MRI Scan.

Now, he will have to wait for nearly three and a half hours to bowl today (Equivalent to the time he was away from the field) as per the law which does not distinguish between a genuine injury and a faked one to take rest.

High time to make some changes in the law. Or at least the high time to recognize the spirit of the law. You can’t always go by the printed lines alone, and kill the prospects of some enthralling cricket.
