Surely the point is to pick one instead of giving cop out answers like "sometimes a and sometimes b"

I pick A ftr.

No helmet. If I'm unconscious it doesn't hurt.

Okay then, B. That's h4x, WC winning stuff in 2 out of 3 formats and not terrible in tests, he'd tie up an end

10 overs 20 runs is fantastic, but only 2 wickets in 3 games is a bit dire. Don't think it's WC winning.

It's only winning when combined with a varied attack. Think the point is that it's impossible to find a bowler like that in ODIs so it gives a Bradman-esque advantage. Bowler A is basically Steyn who sprays it around a bit.

Option B.

Test cricket. Two strong teams. The MCG holds no appeal when devoid of spectators.

Format?

Given my skill level, definitely B.

Legitimate chance of being killed by a bouncer IMO.

a) an odi between bangladesh and zimbabwe at the mcg

or

b) the 1st day of a test between south africa and england at shere bangla national stadium, dhaka

b

 

[91Jmay]

Pakistan's ODI team or the Windies test team

 

[TheJediBrah]

B for ODIs

A for Tests

yeah but are we ignoring the fact that the figures for each hypothetical bowler would be different depending on the format they were playing? Like in ODIs each bowler would likely have a higher economy and lower SR

bit of a flawed question I guess

If I get hit in the crotch will it be permanently disabled?
