You think? and here I was thinking I could get ahead of the curve and manufacture a saliva for polishing the ball.

Add a Jimmy Anderson Saliva polish
A Wasim Akram swing polish
And Waqar Younis swing polish.
All based on the enzymes in their saliva.

Are you not allowed to apply saliva to the ball now without it being considered ball tampering? So if for health reasons you can no longer apply saliva to the ball you will either have to ban the practice or allowed a manufactured substitute. If we can manufacture a substitute based on what contained in a particular saliva which would be close if not identical to the real thing, how could that be considered ball tampering.

The umpire of course would have to be trusted with ensuring the integrity of the substance

There is a stuff called ROSIN which you rub on Violin strings so it creates friction.I used to use it to rub the ball,and when I bowl quickish off breaks the ball sometimes went through much slower and I got wickets like that.I only did it when I played against Presentation College in San Fernando,i did it because that College had students who was up dey own arse".

Saliva?
Whatever happened to the word, spit, as used by the common folk?
Or maybe we don't want to mix things up the baseball term, Spit-ball.

Spittle
Look, when cricket does eventually return, the guys will share dressing rooms, showers, hit and cold tubs, physios, equipment. Saliva is just one aspect among many.
