What if?...

The Australian Centre of Excellence would require a new head coach.

What if England had never lost at The Oval in 1882? Would we still call Australia v England "The Ashes"?
It could have been named "The WG Grace Trophy" in the next decade.

What if Tony Grieg never used the word "grovel" before the 1976 series against WI?

England would still have lost and he would possibly have been an even more intolerable personality.

What if Shoaib Akhtar had been around Imran's time, beaten him in some trials, and played Test cricket for Pakistan while Imran missed out on an entire career? What effect would it have had on Wasim and Waqar's careers?

Imran would've made it to the team based on his family's influence, as he did. Not much would've changed for Wasim and Waqar.

What if Shoaib Akhtar was mentored by Imran Khan in the same vein as Wasim and Waqar?

Imran, Wasim, Waqar, Shoaib and Qadir/Mushtaq/Saqlain would have been the most awesome bowling attack ever, assuming Imran didn't bat at 6.

What if Imran had Miandad's looks (but his own talent and ability), while Miandad had Imran's looks (but with his own talent and ability)?

the runs they scored and wickets they took would've remained the same. the number of women they slept with had to be interchanged.

what if sachin and steve waugh were match fixers and caught doing that in late 90s?

Warne becomes Captain and Australia never lose a match .Sachin gets a life banned and joins Cronje on a the same plane trip he dies in but thanks to Sachin's God like powers Cronje survives because Sachin can fly.:ph34r:

What If Camreon White learned how to turn a ball?

The universe implodes and falls into the vortex, where we have to put up with the pink unicorns off Charlie the Unicorn for enternity.

What will be the fallout if India lose today?

If India lose today, depending on certain circumstances, Yuvraj may be dropped once again.

What would happen if Boucher retires and Ab takes the gloves? (Question more in regards to AB than SA)

We go back to the days of elfin horse jockey-like people keeping wicket.

What if Jacques Kallis had the looks of Brad Pitt to go alongwith his phenomenal talents?

Pakistan's pace attack would be more dangerous, being as Akhtar would still be injured and Asif's supsensio would have given him time to resolve his off field issues and return without distractions.

What if Roman Abramovich had bought an English County ,(sat...Surrey) rather than Chelsea FC.

Difference in overseas standards wouldn't make it that successful.

What if Hansie Cronje wasn't involved in match-fixing, but other South Africans were?

Different plane would have crashed

What if India insisted on no UDRS in world cup?

They would have beaten Australia in QF, Pakistan in Semis and Sri Lanka in Final to clinch it!

What if a helmet-less Brian Lara faced the Bodyline attack?

He would still have hit the 400 in Antigua but his body would have got lined up if he faced it in England..

What if Zaheer was fit for the whole India-England series?

India would still have lost heavily due to their batting woes. Sreesanth wouldn't have exposed himself as being utterly hopeless.

What if Kevin Pietersen and Peter Moores had had a productive working relationship?

It would be 3-1 to England at the most for India.

What if only Butt was caught fixing?
There would have been little effect on the career of Mohammad Asif, who would still have been unable to play "home" Tests for Pakistan due to being barred from entering the United Arab Emirates.

I would have known who this Peter Moores is.

What if Clarrie Grimmett wasn't forced to retire from test matches after his best series and could play test matches during his best years as a bowler?
