RANT.

Okay. So, Mitchie won his game of cricket yesterday. And he won the game on Sunday too.
But in the game on Sunday, Mitchie was batting and the score was 299. So, Mitchie hit a REALLY NICE shot and made two runs. Mitchie's individual score: 3 runs. Australia's score: 301.
BUT Mr. "I'm A Party Pooper" Cricket Umpire said that those two runs weren't allowed. You wanna know why? But Mitchie RAN ON THE PITCH.
Wait, whut?
I know what you're thinking: "What's wrong with that? O_O"
WELL, APPARENTLY, WHEN YOU ARE RUNNING BETWEEN WICKETS, YOU CAN'T RUN ON THE PITCH.
Okay. That seems like a nice rule, umpires. /sarcasm

WHY DOES IT MATTER THAT MITCHIE RAN ON THE PITCH?!
Is the pitch ~sacred~?
"Don't go on the pitch, dear. It's sacred."
No. The pitch is not sacred. The pitch is a PITCH. Who cares if one guy runs on the pitch?

That umpire was a prick. He took two runs off Mitchie. I was like, "HEY, IF YOU MESS WITH MITCHIE, YOU'LL HAVE TO DEAL WITH HIS BFFL~!"
And that umpire shall. One day, I'll go to the cricket and THROW A PIE IN HIS UGLY FACE.

It doesn't matter who runs on the pitch. The bowler runs on the pitch before and after he bowls a ball. The batter stands on the pitch to face the bowler, ready to hit the ball.
When the bowler thinks he got the batter out, he appeals on the pitch.

THEN WHY CAN'T YOU RUN ON THE PITCH?!

Whoever invented that rule should be hit with a cricket bat, punched with keeper-gloves and hung with a shoelace in the cricket changing room.
Thank you.
