Imagine If.....

[Pothas]

Think we should just play on actual roads, I mean we talk about it enough. Would be interesting to see how supposed flat track bully's dealt with M25 conditions.

Think a very interesting change would be playing on uncovered pitches again, would be interesting to see how quickly and how much the balance between bat and ball would change.

Imagine if there was a way to eliminate dropped catches.

no FCA theory then.

Imagine if finally people admits that Murali does not chuck

Here's the point .





And here's you. Miles away from the point.

What if there was a "one hand and the whole team's out" rule?

More low team tallies but more dropped catches IMO

A lot of boring, defensive cricket where noone risks hitting the ball in the air.

What if all Test cricket was played at Headingley in April/May?

 

[GIMH]

Would have nothing to watch the rest of the year!

'One hand, one bounce' would be interesting. Spinners would get tons of wickets.

Regarding Goughy's point about home Test teams having to draw their players from within 100 miles of the ground, Bangladesh would fly up the world rankings.

Yeah, exactly - 'cos it wouldn't be needed! A chance would be taken.

Imagine if there were no stumps in cricket like in baseball and there were only 9 forms of dismissal with bowled excluded.

 

[GIMH]

I'd be interested in seeing run outs, stumpings and lbw if there are no stumps

Haha. Completely forgot about those. LBW can still be given to a spot area as a strike is given in baseball.

Cricket n00b.

Imagine if... fielders could "psyche" out the batsman during the actual ball beng bowled, including the run-up.

Imagine if... Sachin Tendulkar never existed. Would India just be worshipping another of the current bunch of player, but just one with an inferior record? Do the Indian public need a cricket player to worship?

Dravid would have been huge, as would Sehwag. Sehwag wouldn't exist without Tendulkar existing though.

I wonder what Viru's dad thinks of that...

 

[Evermind]

Imagine if...Bangladesh and Zimbabwe didn't have test status.

That's right - things would be A LOT BETTER.

No they would not....

People would be complaining about how West Indies and Sri lanka are not test class instead n00b

I lol'd surely he meant Sehwag the batsman.

Miandad did tbh.

 

[Debris]

how about no restriction on full toss height

This, in fact, was the case at one point in cricket. There used to be bowlers who would try to lob the ball over the batsman's head and onto the stumps.
