Transcription: A picture of a bat leaning against some stumps. Superimposed on it is a Tweet from Iceland Cricket: “Name a rule in cricket that should be changed immediately. Why?”

Not sure which rule it would be, but I think back to the 2019 World Cup final, and that ball that hit the bat of Ben Stokes as he dived to get safely back into his wicket.
Not only did he get there, but the ball went for 4, and given the extremely close result and the lateness of that over, it might have made all the difference.
Not sure what you would need to change it to, but it seemed very unfair to me that England got those runs.
Upvote for the bold take, but personally I don’t agree. As far as I’m concerned, as long as there’s no insinuation that he did it deliberately, that’s just how the game goes. It’s no different from if the throw had gone wide due to a bad throw, or poor catching from the keeper.
