Hi, I'm one of a handful of Yanks who likes cricket...?

You know T-20 league in India, IPL is based on baseball, as the tournament director lived in USA for a while. Though last man remains not out, if all 10 wickets fall but going with the other innovations, you might get to see this Baseball scenario happening in cricket as well, with next set of new rules being implemented.

Its an interesting thought, maybe someone has a brain storm in cricket too, soon enough. We have played local cricket, where a single batsman carries on playing, if the team doesn't consist of 11 players. But so far only a single wicket falls off a single ball, no matter which number is playing. Both wickets can fall, as one batsman could be caught & the other one run out. Let's see if T-20 leagues would adopt this baseball rule in cricket, to make it more interesting, no harm in trying..

Right its a rare situation but it can happen. The batsman at the receiving end could be number 10 with number 11 and the bowlers end. The receiving batsman could hit the ball when the other one is out of the crease on the way down the wicket and the ball could hit the wicket which makes him out the receiving batsman would need to have started to run and the ball would need to have been caught by the bowler and thrown on to the receivers wicket for them both to be out. That would be innings over. However the usual is that you only have 10 batsmen out not 11 but it is still classed as all out because you must have 2 batsmen on the field of play. Clear as mud I know but that's cricket lol

Theoretically it's possible, but practically the fielding team wouldn't be concerned with trying to get both wickets. 1 is good enough.

yes it can be done , even last man can be out

cheers~
