um Jun 2023 9:31pm, 17 Jun 2023 7,469 posts	Quote Pin um fetch - answers for the boy 1) you try screaming as you're trying to play a shot in milliseconds without disrupting your stroke. These are cricketers, not tennis grunters. 2) there's plenty of other nicks/noises (feet, bat against pads & straps, etc that are harmless) 3) the fielding side don't have the benefit of snick-o-meter. They're probably 5 - 20 yards (or metres) away 4) most cricketers would prefer to be thought of as honest. Most of the time. I suspect the chat with (aka sledging) a known 'cheat' would be fairly interesting. 5) the scream would probaby be too late !
