Is it feasible to have a combined men and women cricket teams?

[Gollum]

Extreme long distance running (ultramarathon), women can compete at an equal level as men, maybe even an edge. Open water endurance swimming as well, though I have to check the latest developments there. 

 

At junior level (say under-11), not much difference between boys and girls in physical endeavors. But after puberty hits, different story, testosterone ka jaadu.

Lmao..  It's just not possible.  Maybe U 17 guys can play other than that no chance.  Unless you wanna see broken bones & Aka Shoaib Akhtar type pasli todh bowling.  

Plenty of scope for Badmaashi & Daleri though

Can combine but not in cricket

Although the idea may not seem feasible now, we should be open to new ideas and concepts.

 

There is some potential in T20s ... not in the other formats as of now. 

 

If Rajat Bhatia can be a decent bowler in T20s, then so can a good quality woman pacer who has mastered bowling variation balls.

 

The quicker woman pacer usually bowls 107 k to 115 k. ( Not talking about the quickest recorded deliveries but usual speed ranges ). A tall lady pacer who gets bounce ... bowling this pace ... who has a good slower ball ... may have some potential.

 

Another area could be wrist spin. A lot of training would be needed but it is possible for a woman to be a good wrist spinner In the men's game. 

 

Women can definitely be trained to bat against 140 k+ balls. May need some additional protective gear though. 

 

If they practice hard, women can do it.

Ultimately it's a game of reflexes..  I don't think they will be comfortable with quick stuff.  Agree on the leggie part..  There is a English leggie can't recall her name but has decent quick leg break & nice control over Googly.  She seems to trouble lot of batters with that.
