This is hilarious. We've played cricket in trousers since the 19th century, yet apparently now due to climate change we need to adapt. You know, because shorts will make a huge difference with pads, gloves, helmets etc still being worn.

The Auckland Aces wore shorts in the mid 90s in the one-day comp, it got scrapped very quickly because guys were sick of grass burn (yes that could be remedied, but you know). It made zero difference to their comfort.

Victoria also tried shorts for a season or to in the Mercantile Mutual Cup in the early to mid 90s, seeing Swervin' Mervyn is shorts was quite something.

The same season where Troy Corbett was taking poles for fun. Had some wheels did Corbett

Shorts just means more chance of sunburn.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Shorts. Hehe..very funny.

Shorts work great when rounding up the cattle.

I read this as "reason" and thought you were saying Corbett took a lot of wickets because batsmen were distracted by his exceptional legs

 

[GoodAreasShane]

That's actually pretty brilliant

this one really slipped under the radar. if i cared enough i'd say that matches like these are the reason every country/planet/galaxy shouldn't have t20i status but alas, i don't

and to top it off the scorers ****ed up czech republic's bowling figures! in a total of 21 hahaha

 

[TheJediBrah]

Yeah I'm not a fan of that. It will look a bit silly if in the next World T20 someone is looking like losing a game by a lot so they bring up the International T20 records for biggest winning margin and at the top is a game between Czech Republic and Turkey.

smartball in cricket, a computer is tracking your bowling skills.

true wireless. WiFi transmission and Wireless charger. Awesome training tool

 

[Victor Ian]

We need to pair smart ball with smart bat to determine smart nick and smart bat pad. Get some smart shoes for smart runouts and we are all set.

There's no bigger whinger in world cricket than James Anderson. Has skin as thick as tissue paper. When it's going his way he's top of the pops and happy as Larry. As soon as it isn't he gets all surly and can't cop back that which he so happily gives out. **** bloke.

Yeah, some people are incapable of admitting that opposition can be sometimes better than them. Probably salting that he couldn't use the clouds to his advantage one last time. Still remember when his team was getting owned by India in 2016, he was cribbing that the pitches do not test the technique of Virat Kohli.

 

[Crazy Sam]

That time Matthew Hayden and Jimmy Maher were challengers on Gladiators...

Somebody still gives Jade Dernbach money in exchange for his cricket skills. Take a moment to allow that to sink in.

[aussie tragic]

As if Australia isn't cringe worthy for having 2 vice-captains, we'll now have 2 captains in the PM XI vs Sri Lanka (Peter Siddle and Dan Christian).
