wow thats unique.

If you can switch hit then changing bowling hands should be legal as well

We'll see it become common in 2100 imo when Ten10s are the most prestigious format of the game.

 

[mr_mister]

I see that point made so often^ it's becoming mundane

I'm sure batsman wouldn't mind bowlers attempting to bowl with their non-dominant hand

 

[Burgey]

You should lose the benefit of the pitching outside leg element of the lbw law if you switch hit.

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah and also lose the leg side wide privilege. Basically remove all of the blind spot benefits a batsman gets on the leg side deliveries. Such a simple idea that will make it fair.. yet ICC can't even get that done.

AB finally came out and busted those stupid myths about him being brilliant at like 57 sports in his youth and flat out said it's pretty much all BS. Thank ****.

It's understandable people confused him with The One True AB, who actually did do all those things wrongly attributed to de Villiers.

Burgey finally showing respect to AB Gambhir is great to see.

 

[Howe_zat]

I don't really get why Adrian Barath comes up so often tbh

 

[mr_mister]

'the one true AB' isnt even the greatest captain with those initials, perhaps just the grumpiest


Ali Bacher's W/L ratio as a captain is far better

 

[Burgey]

Ali Bacher not fit to carry The One True AB's jockstrap itbt.

You're right, Andy Blignaut was pretty awesome.

Bloke's a bit of a character isn't he. Can't believe he tried to open the door of the plane mid flight. Amazing.

first thing I thought of when he said it too

 

[OverratedSanity]

You guys are just jelly.

He grew up dealing with the best bowlers of the 90s and is probably sick of seeing ****s like Alastair ****ing Cook be hailed as one of the modern day greats.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Well if the discussion is more about longevity then Cook could well and truly match Sachin, even though Cook has probably never been among the top 2 or 3 batsmen in the world at any given time, he's been around for a while and probably still will be

 

[Shady Slim]

cook's longevity on the test scene mightn't make him as good a player but it adds to things not counted in the stats like utility to the team and allowing others in the team to form a solid base

imagine if the england opener wheel went through two per cycle rather than just one
