very denigrating to women to think like that.Women's beach cricket should be a thing.
Why continue to objectify women in sports?

http://www.cricketweb.net/forum/cri...unlikely-ideas-you-want-see-one-off-test.html1. Two balls are involved, but one belongs to the umpires, who throw the ball to each other continuously. Interfering with the umpire ball is a method of dismissal
2. Golf ball replaces cricket ball. Bats replaced with golf clubs. Physios replaced by caddies.
3. Play indoors with a low ceiling and lots of places for the ball to get stuck when kicked. Each team has one 10m ladder and must field as normal.
4. Mum's rules match. No one is allowed to play until they have completed their homework, done the washing up and put on a nice warm jumper.
5. Geopolitical knowledge match. Any wickets taken do not count until the bowler can name the opposition country's capital, currency, official language and three dominant socioeconomic issues.
6. Closed roof, no lights. Players are only allowed to use the lights on the back of their iPhones.
7. Every time Shane Warne opens his mouth he is to be hit in the face with a spade.
But your number 7 is the easiest to practically implement.9. Motorbike cricket. Same rules as normal except all players - bat, bowl, field - are on motorbikes.

Ah I wondered where I had ripped that off from
I think great players will be great players even if they had to play on uncovered wickets, because they tend to adapt. You’d still have the disparity beteeen them and average playersIf we put uncovered wickets back in place a lot of people would be shocked at the amount of 'all time greats' who are not actually very good batsmen compared to days of olde! Every series would be basically the 2015 Ashes on steroids.
- reduce all of the pointless bilateral rubbish. I just noticed the NZ v WI series has two tests and about a million limited overs matches. If all of the latter were scrapped we could have had another test or two. The 2018 English fixture is packed with meaningless Australian one-days during high summer, with the Indian test series shunted to the autumn. Even this upcoming Ashes has a load of ****** one-dayers chucked on the end.
Most people don't understand the technical aspects of how a smart phone works, how we stream videos online, or the inner mechanism of a metro train engine. But we all use them as they are hugely beneficial to us.Well the thing which South Africa faced in 1992 World Cup. Well some of the quotes from cricketers on DLS method:-
MS Dhoni - ''I don't think even ICC understands Duckworth Lewis."
Stephen Fleming - “There's a real anomaly in Duckworth-Lewis, it is rubbish for Twenty20.”
Shaun Pollock - "The first time I saw a Duckworth-Lewis sheet - well, to be honest, I can't remember. Duckworth and Lewis certainly aren't on my Christmas card list."
Schedules should be done in a way to allow for a minimum of 2 x four day warm up games. Strict rules should be implemented to make sure the home cricket board provides proper home conditions in those warm up games.What should be changed according to you in cricket?
Haha, given that Billy Bowden's probably the least popular umpire on this forum, don't see you getting a great deal of support for this one.Umpires should be more like baseball umpires.
When making a decision , do it in style.

Ah, my bad. In my defence, people sometimes have some interesting opinions on here, so I couldn't be sureIt was a '/s' post
If the New York Yankees refuse to have names on the backs of their jerseys for traditional reasons, I'm sure Test cricket can resist the urge too.Aggers was promoting having players names on their whites in Tests on ABC..
Thoughts gents?
I think I would be ok with that.
I would like this purely on the grounds that it would help us when we play away, but not really make much as much difference when we play at homeVisiting team to choose to bat or field first. Hopefully this will entice more even wickets.................Shorten lunch to 30 mins and increase tea to 30 mins...............Teams have two balls at start of innings and can change them around as they wish. replace one or both after 160 overs if requested.
