I bat right handed

and I've often thought if i lost my left arm in, say, an accident with a combine harvester, or perhaps some locker room horseplay that got horribly out of hand, but i wanted to continue playing cricket, I would definitely bat in a left handed stance so i could at least swing the bat down the line with my one remaining arm and still nick the odd single off my hip or run one down to third man.
