What kind of horific injuries are you wanting to see in cricket? Can you imagine anyone wanting to dive to pick up the ball as a batsman takes a swing with what would basically become a club? Go away and think again.
Originally posted by VargInteresting fact (as told by Steve Davis at an exhibition match - so must be true!)
Now you're just being silly.
What about: Darts players should have to down a pint during each leg. The same could apply to snooker - bring back the good old days of Alex Higgins and Bill Werbenuik!!
Bill W had a natural tremble, which obviously affected his ability to play snooker. The best way of controlling this was to drink copious amounts of booze, hence his best snooker was played after about 8 pints of the stuff 🙂

My rule change:
Motor Racing (F1) - scrap qualifying and make the drivers run across the track to get into and start their cars once more.
Cars parked ready in reverse order of previous race finshing positions.
Schuey would still win 😕 but at least the start would be more fun. 🙂
Originally posted by rhbBetter still, have it so the drivers do not have cars assigned to them so the quickest runner gets the best car. And they can fight over them too.

Originally posted by jimmyb270I enjoyed Brutal Sports immensly. It was so fun.
Anyone remember the Brutal Sports games on the Amiga? They were basically normal sports, football, rugby etc, but with various weapons strewn about the pitch which could be used against the opposition. I can't think of any sport that couldn't be improved in this manner. Except maybe kendo.
There's something strangely satisifying about hacking off the heads of so many of the opponent's heads that you win by default.
Originally posted by ianpickeringHey, I like that! And if neither side still can't score then both teams immediately lose. Maybe that would be a nice incentive.
You could remove 1 player from each side after every 10 minutes that the score is 0-0. If you reach a situation of 2 a-side you are allowed to have 'rush goalies'.
