Fiction!

Cricket Rules have changed. Once a fielder touches the ball after it’s hit, only he has to catch it. Even if he’s about to drop it, other fielders shouldn’t catch it.

It’s an International Match between Bomoria and Itwal (Imaginary Countries)

Commentator: …Both the countries have proved themselves to be very commendable in yesteryears. It’s gonna be a great match today!

Itwal wins the toss and chooses to bat first.

Meanwhile…

Nokal, a Bomoria Player: Captain, I feel tired. I need rest. Please arrange some reserve player in my place.

His Captain repudiates to allow him, as there are no reserve players for his team. And Nokal has to take part in the match.

Match starts…

At first, Bomoria’s lucky for balls not swooshing towards Nokal, the tired player.
