Well at least new to me, maybe it's been happening for a while and I just never noticed. It seems to be since they have placed spare balls on those tee things. when the visiting team get a throw in and pick up a ball off the tee and try to keep the momentum going by taking a quick throw, one of our ball boys/girls throws a ball out to the player, which means it rolls onto the pitch and the referee stops play, thus slowing things down and allowing us to get back into position. Has this been 'a thing' for a while? | |
