Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

Somewhat inspired by a post in the 1970-now XIs thread where one of the teams had 12 players - how many players would your current national test team need to beat your national ATG XI?

Obviously it's not 11 (or fewer) and it's probably not 30 (or more). Please discuss.

Can players overlap? Like for Australia, would smith be selectable for both teams or how would he be used?

Players can be selected for both sides.

Obviously you bat with however many people are in your team, so it's probably most useful to stack your team with middle order batsmen

Guy wrecked the 2003 WC for me by dismissing Lara before he had a chance to face Murali. But sad it has gone from there to this.

24 off 4 to win it and a double ton in 65 balls: Two wild local cricket innings in one day

Two remarkable innings have emerged from the weekend’s local cricket action in Victoria.

www.news.com.au

This one has it all. 20 off 4 to win, a wide being called by one of the batting side umpiring because the original umpire got knocked out and had to go to hospital whilst trying to scramble into position for a run out,

Two bowlers' nightmares.

Wouldn't be surprised if he's flying them past peoples windows while getting his 'netflix and chill' on

 

[Daemon]

Imagine if he got caught for that and banned again, leading to yet another series win in Australia by India.

 

[TheJediBrah]

nah they wouldn't ban him for that. Usually you just get a fine. Don't ask me how I know.

All those "hobbies" sound like they're generated from an algorithm, checks out.
