Is it just me, or is the article describing lorries fitted with radar-guided cruise control? Because that's nothing new: luxury cars have had that for the last 20 years.
Not quite, seems to be a more direct coupling as opposed to one lorry sensing the changing distance to another and reacting with a bit of delay. Lorries have had that for a long time, too. That's why drivers hate it so much when people overtake them at the last possible moment only to swerve to the right and take an exit right in front of them. Their radar cruise control hits the brakes automatically when it gets an echo from too close in front.

Try again, MobileSyrup.
But also, from the iam8bit store page:
WARNING: Use of this reproduction game cartridge (the “Product”) on the SNES gaming hardware may cause the SNES console to overheat or catch fire.
I've played Street Fighter 2 on SNES before, and never had to worry about that. Has the technology to produce non-self-combusting SNES games been lost to history?

True, but remember that this is a sport in which you can bowl a googly that's caught at silly mid-off.

Cricket is indeed very heavy on the technical terminology: I don't see how that excuses this; if anything the contrary. You don't go round calling a googly a doosra.

Isn't burning money a crime? In the UK in particular, because it carries the Queen's face?

It looks like the one of them may have hit his head a couple times on the door of the police cruiser, doesn't it. That's just a crying shame.

But crossbow arrows are not part of standard cricket gameplay, so the terminology wouldn't cover it.
Is there a qricket term for when a player gets judo chopped?
-
@hungrier Not specifically, but depending on who judo chopped whom it would probably fall under Obstructing the Field or Distracting the Opposition.

"Oh, it looks like the batter sixed the fielder right in the leg slip. The fielder is gonna be feeling that in his fine leg for quite some time."
