outdated terminology
Since now it is possible for a team to lose all its wickets, why do we still say winning/losing by 10 wickets? Why not say win/lose by 11 wickets?

how can a team lose all 11 wickets?!
You will have to let the 11'th batsman keep batting alone after the 10th goes out if u want it to happen! 
the only way is if the 10th & 11th batsmen get out at both ends at the same ball.... and that's a rarity! |

rarity, but still a possibility now with the new rule coming in. So that renders a 10 wicket win/lose meaningless. In fact, what we are calling now "win/lose by n wickets" should actually be "win/lose by n + 1 wickets".

you grapple with a lot of complex mind boggling problems man. Why don't you just figure out what we can do with BD ODI team- it's a far more simple issue. |

I think you are underestimating the complexity of this problem. If anyone can solve the problem of our team,he/she will be awarded the national hero status in bangladesh. |

May be even easier to figure out how they can manage a record to lose all 11 wickets in one innings for the first time.  |

What is the point of this thread....just fun
Things are not funny in the field!
Where is the desperation for runs:
Where is the hunger for wickets:
Where is the triumph for glory:
