Things that sounded like they were going to be a big deal in cricket and then weren't

Peter McGlashan did some interesting stuff like wearing upper body armour and a catcher's mask from baseball.

There was also this runout:

How did he know batsmen will go for 2?
How did he know the one running towards bowler's end will be short?

Fixed match.

Last over of a T20, probably knew the non-striker would be taking a massive start and the fielder is closer to the non strikers end. Pretty great match awareness.

Hopefully Rishabh Pant won't go down this route.

Day-night Tests. I thought I was going to hate it but I love it more than most things.

Agreed with fielder at non-striker end. But non-striker taking massive start is beneficial to batting team in this strategy than bowling team, right? When the run-out was done in this video, the other batsman was just half-way to the other end.

haha you're right. not sure what I was thinking.

Yeah NZ grounds are not that big, surely the fielder in the deep can throw to the strikers end and get the run out there?

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Has anyone mentioned the aluminium bat?

 

[mr_mister]

Squash balls in gloves

 

[BoyBrumby]

The teesra.

& Warnie's "zooter" too; which I personally suspect only existed in his imagination, but that didn't seem to prevent Richie (RIP) from picking it from the hand.

No, but if it makes a comeback I'll sell it to you - it's in my garage as I type this.

Franklyn Rose

Just saw his highlights of his demolition job against Indian in 1997 series. Was a great prospect.

The second half of Warne's career was just years of him fooling people into thinking he had 17 variations instead of the 2 actually bowled.

What an example of the power of branding he is.
