It’s not just ridiculous it’s potentially dangerous to the health of the players. Regardless of the true reason the team sits people out, realistically these are probably all actual injuries or things these players struggle with. It’s still a physical game

Yes that’s exactly the reason I brought it up. How does Ironman fix it?

The rule unintentionally makes the NCAA irrelevant for baseball, soccer, and other sports for men. In men’s soccer they don’t even consider college part of the development pathway. It sends many men to club soccer rather than college.

This is actually the joint 7th-lowest total in all of professional cricket (if you count the domestic tournaments of each country in all formats since the beginning of professional cricket). All the other lower scores (or equally low scores) were before WW I or something like that. I read this somewhere, so idk how true it is but assuming it is true, this is actually the lowest score in entire professional cricket in the last 100+ years, which is bad enough. Absolutely shit performance lmao.
