A match between two opponents consists of up to eleven alternating rounds of boxing and chess, starting with a four-minute chess round followed by two minutes of boxing and so on. Between rounds there is a one minute pause, during which competitors change their gear. The form of chess played is speed chess in which each competitor has a total of twelve minutes for the whole game. Competitors may win by knockout, checkmate, a judge's decision or if their opponent's twelve minutes of chess time elapses. If a contestant does not make a move in the chess round, he will be issued a warning by the referee. At the second warning the contestant will be disqualified.
So I thought of sport- that would be the hybrid of Cricket and Football.
Oh how good it would be
For starters, the ball to be used will be the mixture of sizes of the Soccer ball and Cricket ball- say a medium-large cricket ball. The ball will be placed just before the crease line at the off-strikers end. The striker will kick the ball to the batsman- No chucking that way,eh Murli?- who will be wearing half pants, like the rest of the team (Tatenda would look like a school boy then.)
Scoring: The official unit to measure the points(like runs or goals) would be ruls (gouls would sound like the name of an animal. Imagine-'...and John has hit a goul..'-PETA alert). The batsman will have to hit the ball into the goal posts placed at the boundary lines which will be at a distance of 15 yards from the wicket. Each post will have its value according to dificulty to score into that area. The fielders will be wearing gloves and standing like goalies- each for each post- to save the opposite team from scoring.
Rules will be a mixture-like you may tackle the batsman when he his attempting to take a run,but only the bowler. Bowler may bowl beamers all day which the battie could head around all day.Doping is allowed.
And of course it will be played in a rectangular pitch with rounded corners.
