Firstly, please let me be clear. I don’t mind change. I’m grateful for change in the past and there are changes that I’d welcome in the future… but this is embarrassing!
The Big Bash is set to replace the coin toss with the Australian backyard tradition of flipping a bat. This is professional sport right?
I’m all for trying something different in cricket, as has been done in the English County Championship. Alternative methods could be that the away team, the team highest in the league or the higher run scorers in a tournament get to choose whether to bat or bowl first but a bat flip, seriously!
We’ve got The Hundred coming to English cricket and the bat flip to the Australian game. What next? A Kabaddi fight between the captains before an IPL match?
The Hundred and the bat flip are quiet stupid, and even though a kabaddi fight is even stupider, I’d actually wanna see that lol
