Chaotic search for WI Test captain


I’ve never heard of it before, personal interviews to elect an international Test cricket captain.Interviewing six cricketers for the captaincy is pathetic.

I assume that in the modern day of technology and its scientific implementations, there is a belief that cricket problems can be solved in that manner. And this is used to show off the knowledge that one may have in scientific training, however, is it the answer to sport and especially cricket which, being an art and not a science, is governed by a different set of rules.

The skill necessary to perform in a cricket game is based on art and the observance of rules. In a game of cricket, the ball is still five and a half oz and the bat is the same width of four and a half inches. The pitch is 22 yards long as it has always been, and the bowling, batting and return creases have not changed its measurement since before the first Test match between Australia and England in 1877.

Interesting thought, based on art and not science even in the modern age of technology and AI even
