score a run? I mean they have to be at the wicket in some form, presumably holding a bat. What if the ball hit the bat and squirted away somewhere awkward and the bloke at the other end ran down the pitch and if need be, threw the other bloke/rolled his coffin down the other end? does CPL have runners still? Leg byes don't count obv.
Stop baiting me with Runako. No a dead guy couldn't score a run. Dead people can't stand unaided or walk to the crease. He'd be given out due to time wasting. And being\ dead.
nah look, if they're in their coffin just roll the fucking thing/motorise it and get it in front of the stumps. call the coffin their "bat".
I'd assume that instead of playing on, the umpires may call drinks and a physio might notice he died.
So he dies at the end of the previous game, standing up, holding the bat which is resting on the ground so he has a three point stance so he stays up. Rigor mortis means he doesn't let go of the bat. Then the next game, the captains go out to toss, and he's still there, and the captain that names him in his time wins the toss and chooses to bat, selecting the dead guy to open the batting and face first. Then he edges it for four off the first ball.
You're free to pick whoever you like, but given the amount of people who apply to be in this and miss out every season, not taking it at least somewhat seriously would not do your chances of keeping your team any good.
IRL a dead person would be timed out. I guess in a sim they'd be forced to bat 11, and you would declare when 9 down instantly. And they would have 0s in every stat department to make it impossible for them to field and so forth.
