Introducing Gladius Blade - a new bat with tapered edges!

[msb314]

Gladius Blade is a new bat created by IIT students that has tapered edges meaning that regular knicks will now not carry to the slips/WK due to a downward force by the bat on the ball on contact.

However, due to increased bat speed - the ball is expected to go even further when middled as opposed to conventional bats.

Just when things couldn't get any worse...

Let's just get rid of bowlers and use a bowling machine instead. Let the batsman decide it's settings.

Massive respect for IITs of this country. That's where the innovations happen and entrepreneurs are made, while our IIMs keep churning out managers who love to slog.
