AITCA For Making My Brother Bowl An Underarm Delivery?
Hear me out. I (32M) was captaining an international cricket team in an ODI and had manoeuvred the opposition into a position where they needed to hit a six off the last ball to tie. To prevent this, I told my younger brother (28M) to bowl the ball to the opposition batter (27M) underarm. He did it, but now my other brother (37M) is telling me it’s unsportsmanlike and his mates in the commentary box are saying it’s one of the worst things they’ve ever seen done on a cricket field. I reckon it was fair enough and in the rules at the time. AITCA?
AITCA For Instructing My Bowlers To Bounce A Show-Off?
I (32M) was charged with the responsibility of regaining a cricket trophy (50A) after a disgusting little show-off (24M) came to our country and embarrassed everybody by scoring more runs than was necessary and making all our bowlers feel bad about themselves. So I told my bowlers they should try to hit him in the head even though helmets haven’t been invented yet, and instead some other guy (36M) got hit, and now their captain (35M) is saying they’re the only ones playing cricket. But I did get the trophy back. AITCA?
AITCA For Not Walking When Caught At Slip?
I (27M) was batting for my country and was caught at slip from the bowling of a delightful young Test debutant (19M) with a gorgeous smile and floppy hair he’ll hopefully never lose. For some reason, though, the umpire (45M) said I wasn’t out, so I decided to keep batting, because it felt like a funny thing to do. But then the opposition coach (43M) got kind of mad and is now saying that he hopes the other team’s fans will make me cry. Also - and I think this might be weird but I don’t even know any more - I hear one of their newspapers (167T) is not even going to use my name, they’re so angry. I reckon that if they wanted me to be out they should have used one of their reviews. Oh, wait. They’d burnt them all. LOL. AITCA?
AITCA For Running Out A Dozy Non-Striker?
I (31M) was bowling when I noticed the non-striker (35M) was creeping out of his crease as I came in to bowl. So I ran him out. Now, the dismissal is named after me, which annoys some members of my family for some reason, despite the fact it’s kind of a great description for this specific kind of very legal dismissal. I don’t really understand all the fuss, but I’m certain some weirdos are going to spend at least the next eighty years getting insanely furious about it and saying it’s against the spirit of the game, even though the captain of the opposition (39M) says it’s completely legit.

AITCA For Bowling The Ball of the Century?
When I (23M) came on to bowl my first ball in a prominent cricket series (116A), I surprised my opponent (36M) by bowling arguably the greatest delivery ever seen in the game, swerving the ball to his leg side before it gripped and turned sharply past his bat and hit the off stump. At first I was happy and punched the sky in joy, but then he shook his head, kinda mystified like, and I felt a bit bad, because my captain (37M) had told me not to show what I could do during the tour matches. I feel like I might now mentally dominate them because of that one ball for, like, most of the next decade. AITCA?
