2.* While bouncers are common now,in 1893,it would have been unthinkable for a bowler to use those tactics as it was used, in this,historic match.The Umpire would have surely objected. Also,matches with only one innings a side are relatively recent occurence.In the late 1890s even friendly matches lasting only 1-2 days had 2 innings each,so it is very unlikely that this match would last only 1 innings.Also ,even if the match lasted 1 innigs each as long as the chasing team didnt lose all their wickets,and they had not scored as much as the opposition they wud nt lose the match but simply draw it...Which match? LAGAAN
