Cricket should be played in shorts, not trousers.

Didn't Dean Jones and the Victoria Bushrangers play in shorts in a Aussie domestic match in the 1990s?

Yeah, I mean real cricket. Thanks anyway, Bud.

p.s. WAC

Yeah, spewing I can't find a pic on google images.

Should become more prominent. Would be less hot. And less like playing in pyjamas.

Haha i did a search too and couldn't find anything.

Was it a one-time gig?

Nah, was done for a whole season. The women did it for even longer IIRC. Diving was a real issue when they were playing in the shorts.

Auckland did it over here for a season. Grass burn=not ideal.

I remember we used to have to play in shorts when there were buckles on the pads - especially painful when keeping wicket. Thankfully never had to play in a skirt.

 

[ganeshran]

Not a bad idea..

Complaining about grass stains? Pfft, harden up.
