It really ends up being much of a muchness. One thing is that when fielding, you have 11 blokes out there being sapped of energy for the whole 50 overs, whilst if batting during the heat, 9 of your guys are in the shade getting hydrated and conserving energy, but the two out there are working hard and feeling the heat big time.

Out of the 11 not all of them are suffering that much though, besides the quicks, who will all get ample rest before their turn to bat anyways. I also think having a tired, dehydrated batsmen who's unable to concentrate at the crease is far more disadvantageous to the side. With bowlers at least you're able to rotate them and let them rest for periods of time but with batsmen (providing they don't get out quickly) they don't have such luxury.

I was only being half serious with the suggestion anyways, agree with Spikey that it's the Jews.

lol at the thought of being in the field for 50 overs in this heat equates to "having a rest". It's energy sapping just being out there whether you're bowling or not.

The wicket keeper does more work than anyone. Fielders have to run between overs and move every ball. You do more work as a team in the field than your team does in the batting innings.

 

[Spikey]

you guys obviously don't know how to field if it takes a lot out of you

Should be running these out at the drinks breaks:

Having two very tired batsmen will affect the team's performance more negatively than having tired fielders is what I'm trying to say (albeit rather poorly). And yes I forgot about the keeper.

Or a pack of these:

you've gotta rush through it though.


And don't forget to carry one of these:

What did we do to deserve Danny Morrison?

What did we do to deserve Danny Morrison?

the team you send out dictates the commentators you get. In this case, playing 4 victorians is why we have danny morrison

You said he was a good ODI bowler. So taste it.

 

[Spikey]

i never said such a thing. I merely suggested his stats suggested he wasn't a total dud. and told you to taste it obvs


personally i feel we should be rolling with a Starceh, Dougeh and Luke Doran attack. No need for a 3rd seamer.
