Cricinfo is undoubtedly the best Cricket website by a light-year. The very best Cricket gurus, an unparalleled statistical database and articles of great analytical and literary quality make it a true Cricket fan's dream website. From time to time, they also come up with eclectic collections of events from the past, that give you great insights into the history and evolution of the game. Here is one such fantabulous collection, that lists how players and teams have tried to bend the rules in the past, with their actions resulting in many changes in the rules of the game. The snippets on declaring a one-day inning, placing a helmet at mid-wicket and dropping the bat while playing the ball are specially intriguing.
