Pay to Play

[shortpitched713]

Which international cricketer would you play to play against? You get 11 overs to either bowl or bat against them. You can choose either current or past cricketers, living or dead.

Personally, I'm not sure whether I'd want a chance to bowl against Bradman or maybe bat against Muralitharan. I certainly wouldn't want to bat against a seamer, as I doubt I've faced anything over 75 mph, and I would probably get injured. Might be a bit demoralizing bowling against Bradman and watching my bowling getting torn to pieces, so I'll have to go with Murali and leave my ego at the door when I face him.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Would love to bowl at Chris Martin tbh.

 

[FRAZ]

Wanna face Ajit Agarkar
Wanna bowl to Don Bradman !

 

[Athlai]

Jeeves and I would play a bit of beach cricket then go off to the local and talk about global warming, the American political scene and how gun it would be to have Scott Styris's name.

 

[amokk1]

Scott Muller.

 

[Goughy]

To be frank, I couldnt bowl 11 overs at anyone. Id be on my knees after 4 overs of giving it full welly.

So it would have to be batting, and it would have to be against Warne. Ive only once played against a guy turning it like him and that was on a sticky and it was very tough so the experience would be pretty new to me and after growing up during the 'how do we play this guy?' period of English cricket it would be great to have a crack at him.

 

[Unattainableguy]

Would love to bat against Murli, Warne, Shoaib Akhtar, G McGrath.

And bowl to Afridi.

Lol. You could tell all your mates that you dismissed a Test cricketer 10 times in the nets

You can bowl as much/little as you like. I only said 11 because its one of my new favorite numbers.

 

[Richard]

New?

Would probably go for bowling at Aravinda de Silva and, well... not batting TBH.

I don't bat.

 

[James90]

Warne. No-one else crossed my mind. Would love to face 11 overs from Warne.

Warne

Would wa down the track to him over and again till I hit him back over his head, would then proceed to boast about it and neglect to mention the other 65 balls which bowled me

 

[grecian]

Warne for me too, facing.

I haven't bowled since school decades ago, then to no standard. So I doubt it would be edifying seeing bradman watching the ball go to second slip with my Harmison-like accuracy, but considerably less pace. At least even with my shambolic batsmanship, I could get a remote idea what Shane does with the ball, as it flummoxed me again and again.

No fast bowlers either obviously, for pain reasons, and I doubt I'd even see the ball, such would be my cowering.

 

[Fusion]

Would love to have the honor of bowling to Sir Vivian Richards and getting each bowl hit out of the stadium.

 

[Manee]

I would love to bowl to Sachin Tendulkar and watch the master destroy me. I would like to face Shane Warne as I quite fancy myself against leg spin and would like to be put into my place

 

[Turbinator]

Meh. Other players would pay to play me.

 

[andyc]

Would love to have the honor of bowling to Sir Vivian Richards and getting each bowl hit out of the stadium.

Haha, reminds me of when Viv was in Shanghai for a sixes tournament. First ball was effortlessly hit out of the ground, and the bowler, a local 40-something expat, just walked up and shook his hand.

Would want to face Warne or Murali though, I'm fairly confident I wouldn't actually get anything but an edge on most of the balls, but it'd be fun nonetheless.

 

[slugger]

this all maybe possible.. with the development of the "wii sport games" ie golf, tennis, tenpin bowling ...im sure it wont be to long before it starts getting more seriuos and realistic.. start resembling the games in there entirity.

 

[JBMAC]

Tiger O'Reilly....consider to be the finest bowler of his time and being a Keeper myself would love to have a go with Warne,Murali,Hadlee and Proctor
