Im sick to the back teeth of being dragged in to field close at some point during a game all because the new bowler took 2 wickets in the previous game. It doesn't make sense. The batsman has already got his eye in, plus he couldnt care less.

Only last week I had to come in from fine leg to field at leg-slip, LEG SLIP! all because Reevsie got 2 with his last 2 balls on tour down in Brighton. The batsman, who'd spent the previous 10 overs carting our bowlers into the Thames, was a bit bemused as Reevsie slung his 'hat-trick' ball down leg. Absolute waste of time - even if Reevsie had got him out (he went on to score 91), it would have been a hollow victory. I've got a proper 'hat-trick' in a proper over (bowled, LBW, bowled), so I know the value of a 'hat-trick'. It's a wonderful feeling, but seeing the likes of Reevsie trying to claim one over a week and half and 2 games takes the shine off true, pure 'hat-tricks'.

Im \_this_/ close to starting a petition on banning 'hat-tricks' across overs, I'm sure Salad would agree. 

If you agree, please sign this petition. If you don't, I'm assuming you're Reevsie.
