Why do you get runs? You missed the ball,&quot; he said.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nFormer England skipper Vaughan though defended it and said that is how the game works. &quot;It&#39;s just a part of the game.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBut the younger Waugh brother stuck to his stance and said: &quot;Why should you get a run? I know it&#39;s a part of the game. But can we change it for the better? All cricket.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;The idea of batting is to hit the ball. Whoever made this rule up was a pretty ordinary batsman I&#39;d say back in the heyday, back in the early 1900s.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nVaughan then suggested that Waugh should be a part of MCC&#39;s cricket committee that is instrumental in making changes to the rules of the game.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;If you go across the last few years there&#39;s been so many changes in the game: T20 arrived, 100 balls is going to start in the UK, talk of five day Tests going to four, but I think the most revealing is Mark Waugh&#39;s,&quot; he said.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;You should be on the MCC cricket committee. You have to be on there. With that kind of thought process, he&#39;s got to be on. You&#39;ll get a couple of trips to London every year. You&#39;ll sit in that nice room at the MCC at Lords.&quot;<\/p>\r\n",
