| 1465336 | 2019-12-04 04:58:00 | Watching the cricket lately I see that each player has a number on their shirt. I thought it might be for identification, but they have their name above the number in large letters, so that's not the reason. So what are the numbers for? I can't see any reason.:confused: | Roscoe (6288) | ||
| 1465337 | 2019-12-04 05:52:00 | So you can figure out who’s who? Wish the kids I score for did. When two of them are in white with the same colour helmets and pads it’s pretty difficult to know who is who. | psycik (12851) | ||
| 1465338 | 2019-12-04 07:16:00 | For 142 years, players in the international game have worn white shirts and trousers, free of shirt numbers or names. But in this year's Ashes series, that has changed with players from both sides donning whites emblazoned with their surnames and a chosen number. Fans of County cricket know that this has been the case for years, but the sudden change may be jarring to some traditionalists. The ECB hope that by introducing names on the back of shirts will help fans in the stands and at home to quickly identify who is who on the field. www.stuff.co.nz |
