Comments are for talking about cricket with other fans. Disagree as much as you like about selections, tactics, but keep it about the cricket and keep it kind.
The rules
- Be respectful. No insults, harassment, threats or personal attacks on other fans, players, officials or anyone else.
- No hate. Nothing that attacks people for their nationality, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexuality, disability or age.
- No betting tips or promotion. No tips, “sure wins”, odds sharing, promo codes or invitations to betting groups or channels.
- No links, email addresses or phone numbers. Comments containing them cannot be posted.
- No spam or advertising of any kind.
- No match-fixing talk. No offers or requests for inside information, and no false claims that a match is fixed. If you know of corruption, report it to the ICC Anti-Corruption Unit.
- Keep it legal and honest. No illegal content, no pretending to be someone else, no sharing other people’s private information.
- Stay on topic and write in English so everyone can join in.
How it works
- You need a free account to comment. You must be 18 or older to create one.
- Your first 5 comments are checked by a moderator before they appear. Comments that look like betting tips or promotion are also held for a check.
- During live matches, slow mode allows one comment every 30 seconds.
- Comments can be up to 2,000 characters. Replies are one level deep.
Reporting
If a comment breaks these rules, use the ••• menu next to it and choose Report comment. When several readers report the same comment, it is hidden until a moderator has looked at it. You can also mute a user so you no longer see their comments.
What moderators do
- A comment that breaks the rules is removed, and we tell the author why.
- Repeated or serious breaks can lead to a warning, a 7-day suspension from commenting, or a permanent ban.
- If you think we got it wrong, reply to the email we sent you or contact us via the Contact page, and a different moderator will look at it again.
