Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.

      I only pointed out the difference between the fastest. There’s plenty of shorter, leaner bowlers in men’s cricket who bowl faster than Perry. Kemar Roach for instance is in the same height and weight category as Perry and regularly bowls 150kph

      Tbf it’s expected. You know women going below 16-18% body fat is completely unhealthy while top male athletes are perfectly healthy at 6% or so

      Edit: wtf mate? Momentum is not mass of propeller times velocity. By your logic a sumo wrestler would easily be the fastest cricket bowler!

        Momentum is mass x velocity. Google it.

        Would you rather get hit by a featherweight or heavyweight? Mass matters

        I’d say the difference between men and women’s cricket will reduce as women get more training and money, I don’t see any reason why not

          Yes dear friend, momentum is indeed mass x velocity. But we’re not talking about the speed at which the bowler runs. It’s the speed at which the bowl is propelled.

          (to be clear, the lower mass of cricket ball in women’s cricket is a factor in reducing momentum. But we’re talking purely speed here)

          Some women cricketers (outside Pakistan) earn more than Pakistani male cricketers already. And I must say, I’m a huge supporter. Unlike the WNBA in the US, women’s cricket is way more popular in rest of the world.

          It’s a biological factor that women, generally, aren’t as physically strong as men and as a supporter of female athletes, abolishing gender boundaries is practically killing women’s sports. Here’s some more data you could’ve found out by googling: https://boysvswomen.com/#/

            I’m not so sure. Women’s football is doing very well now that it’s getting more money and attention, as are motor sports.

      • his mass is 33% more and the ball goes 23% faster? Momentum is mass x velocity iirc.

      Do you understand why this statement is wrong?

      You’re mixing the mass of the person throwing the ball with the mass of the ball.

      • his mass is 33% more

      This would matter if he was flying himself at the batsman.
