"He (Rahane) looks like he wants to be aggressive he doesn't feel tentative while he is batting. The former Black Caps spinner said that while Rahane didn't look tentative when batting, he was still getting out cheaply, which would weigh on his mind sooner or later. In the ongoing Test against New Zealand at Green Park here, stand-in skipper Rahane has scores of 35 and 4 respectively, prompting questions about his form of late. > If someone won in test cricket by giving follow on then will that team get extra points in ICC rankings ?Īns:- Yes in ICC ranking the win team gets extra points as the team wins by good margin and a inning.KANPUR: Former New Zealand skipper Daniel Vettori says India cricketer Ajinkya Rahane should be dropped for the second Test in Mumbai from December 3 so that he gets time to overcome his lean patch, which has continued for too long. Means the difference must be minimum 200 runsĪns : Simply it is decided by the first bats team captain and the score difference is minimum of 200 runsĪns :- It means the second batting team bats continuously after ending his 1st inning.Like if India team gives follow on that mean other team bats again after completing his 1st inning. > I want to know how the follow on score is decided if one team batted in first innings and scored 300 runs then what is follow on score ?Īns :- the other team has to score less than 100 score. In the test match if a side which bats first and leads by at least 200 runs has the option of requiring the other side to follow-on.The captain has option to give follow on or not.Like India score 400 runs in first inning and Sri Lanka batting second and scored only 140 runs and India gets lead more than 200.Now India captain has option to five Sri Lanka option to fellow on or not.Follow on is not compulsory. That is why, O son of Kunti, take a firm resolve and fight!"- Shrimad Bhagwad Gita If you win, you rule this Earth (as beautiful as Heaven). "If you are killed in action, you go to Heaven. (g) However, it must be noted that in case of a four-day match, the follow-on can be imposed if the difference is 150 runs (instead of 200 runs as mentioned earlier). Only this much can be stated that the team which wins the match gets more point. (f) The ICC point system is not fully clear. (e) If the aggregate of runs of the second team surpasses the run scored by the first team in its first inning, then the first team bats again to try to score the remaining run to win the match. In that case, the second team loses by an inning and 30 runs.) After following-on, it scores 190 runs in its second inning. Then second team scores 180 runs in its first inning. (Example: The first team scores 400 runs. If even after the second inning of the second team (after follow-on), the aggregate does not surpass the runs score by the first team in the first inning, then the second team loses the game in inning. (d) If the follow-on is imposed, then the second team has to bat again. This means that if the first team scores 400 runs and the second team scores less than 200 runs, then the first team can ask the second team to follow-on. (b) If the team which bats in the second inning of the match scores less than 200 runs than the score of the team which batted first, then the first team can ask the second team to follow-on. It is not applicable in limited over cricket match.
(a) The concept of follow-on is applicable only in Test cricket or first-class cricket. I am trying to give the answer in a methodical manner:.
