Cricket's ban on the bunny-hop catch sparks criticism
Original: Banning the bunny-hop catch is a nonsense. Law-makers are penalising athleticism and individual brilliance https://www.n
Cricket's law-makers have moved to outlaw the so-called bunny-hop catch, where a fielder jumps from outside the boundary and completes the catch after re-entering the field of play. The MCC and ICC's rule change is being criticised as nonsense, with commentators arguing it penalises athleticism and individual brilliance rather than protecting the spirit of the game.
Why now: A new MCC/ICC law banning the spectacular bunny-hop catch has just taken effect, prompting debate among cricket fans and writers.
