What things do you remember developing as the standard in each era
Include any form of the game
For me (I might have some mixed up)
90's
Reverse swing
Going hard early in a one dayer
Variety of slower ball grips
2000's
Agressive batting in test cricket
Need for an all rounder in test cricket
Cut shot over slips being a standard shot
Slog sweep, cow corner slap being accepted test match shot
Keeper batsmen
Bouncing tailenders
Reverse sweep
Sliding, diving etc etc in the field
Doosra
2010's
Not enforcing the follow on
Slower ball bouncers
Ramp shot
2 men out for the hook shot and agressive field setting
