Lokomotiv's Proposed Changes to Cricket

[Red]

I'd retained it subconsciously I think. I remember finding it funny and Simpsonesque.

 

[Hooksey]

I have memories of a interstate limited overs competition some years ago in Australia where the teams when fielding wore shorts. I think Merv Hughes was still running around at the time playing for the Canberra Comets, or whatever they were called?

 

[Lokomotiv]

Instead of asking each question as it comes to you, I think you ought to write them all down and draw up a complete manifesto. Just remember to credit CW when you pitch it to the MCC.

I have some questions.
In bowling, is a ball more than 2 bounds legal or illegal?

Balls are allowed to bounce twice, but are less obvious if you are wearing trousers.

type into google laws of cricket. It will take you to the mcc home page, I am pretty sure the laws govern this question.

Quick answers to your questions are that willow is used. I don't know what you mean by condensed bats.

As for baseball bats cbf answering.

Condensed bats were used in Baseball several decades ago. At that time condensed bats (strongly pressured and harder than normal ones) were believed to have more repellent force.

Well I preferred condensed milk, and I reckon along with irn bru, that is the greatest momentum your country possesses.

If cricket bats were like baseball bats, every batsman would play like Matthew Wade

Could you tell me the kind of the wood from which Cricket bats are made?

 

[Viscount Tom]

Woody wood.

 

[sledger]

In certain parts of the subcontinent they are made from fixed wood, and are highly corruptible.

4 ply. Similar to a good skateboard in terms of grinding ability and flexion.

World Cricket League and World Test Championship

I propose changes about the World Cricket League.
Firstly, in the WCL, every team meets twice. So, the WCL should be done on the Home & Away basis (currently not).
The toss must be abolished--the away side should have the right to choose batting first or fielding first.

And I propose a new international comptetition--World Test Championship. Since 10 countries have Test status now, every team meets twice on the Home & Away basis in 2 years. So 18 games are played. The toss must be abolished--the away side should have the right to choose batting first or fielding first.
By using DL Method Calculator, draw should be abolished.

Any opinion?

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Some interesting points. The toss abolishment is something that I wouldn't be completely against, I think it has merits in theory.
DL use in a test match is not something I agree with, on the face of it. What's your basis behind the DL use? It would destroy something like 10 overs left in a match with only 2-3 wickets in hand. That's a good test match that a team effectively loses in essence. Or am I as usual missing the point?

 

[Maximas]

The draw is a part of test match cricket, and often draws are some of the most tense matches played, people who advocate for draws to be stopped obviously don't follow or support test cricket all that much. The only way to stop the tame draw is to not get ****ty weather as well as preparing sporting pitches.

Overall, not horrible suggestions, but the fact is that it is better for some teams to play each other more than others, and that is the main flaw in the proposed system - teams play each other equally.

 

[Adders]

Loko, why do you keep posting your proposed rule changes to the game here??? Who the **** here can do anything with them??

I suggest you send these fantastic ideas to the ICC. I'm sure they'd love to hear from you.

 

[Maximas]

I'm certain this guy is a troll, he must be, I mean, how about that time he directed Benchy to a wiki page he linked to asnwer his question (even though the question was asked in a rather insincere manner), despite the fact that he himself will post questions all the damn time in spite of being told hundreds of times to look it up himself. The guy is surely having a laugh, I mean, ffs, Backlash made a better contribution to CW than this guy.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

He is blatantly a multi, I don't know why people take his ideas even vaguely seriously.
