The batting order selection during a cricket match was a precarious job indeed. There were several methods, the most barbaric one being "My bat, so I'll bat at no. 1". To do away with this unjust, feudal rule, we had to take the refuge of luck. All we had to do was to select from a bunch of lines drawn on the ground, with a number assigned to each line. The corresponding numbers were kept hidden under a bat to ensure transparency.
Although the process was not fool-proof, with occasional accusations of partiality and cheating doing rounds, it was one of the most accepted systems, nevertheless. Enough talk, let's play!!!!
