The US cricket team orchestrated a shocking defeat of powerhouse Pakistan following a dramatic Super Over victory at the Men’s T20 Cricket World Cup on Thursday in Dallas.
PI and Holding specifically are rules that I, a man who has spent 1000s of hours in his life watching or reading about football, cannot understand anymore. At times it appears as though they are purposefully vague so they can be used to add drama
The biggest beef I have with the PI rules is that it seems extremely easy to force a PI call on an underthrown ball. Most teams who are trailing late in the game and have a guy who can throw 80+ yards try this trick at least once, where they send a guy on a deep route and purposely underthrow, so the defender can’t help but be in the way. That gets flagged as PI more often than not, and makes a huge difference in outcomes.
Sometimes I wonder if the refs bet on the trailing team to cover the spread.
