Cricket Australia considering radical one-day changes

Posted by   on (July 21, 2010, 13:10 GMT)

Hmmm!

How about 3 sets of 10 a sides + 2 subs per set + best of three sets wins?

More breaks=more ads & can follow while talking to family; no 3-0 wins to prove superiority = less monotonous games; more stats for the mathematically inclined; better data for deciding who moves up from a pool in a tournament.

Every series should have 3 tests (days that have public holidays), 3 one days (over weekends) and 3 20- 20's (evenings). This would mainaint intreast in all formats

40 over one dayers are a good idea as they take the slow period out...other stupid like the idea proposed should be tried. Its the end of the product cycle for the format. Limit it or change it marginally or you dont have a product...move on

Is it One game split in half? .. Or, One game with 2 Inn'gs? --One Batsman batting Twice?? What are they ON over there in Aus?

the first thing icc has to do after the world cup is to split the one day in to two 20 over innings to give a new look ,say till champions trophy 2013,and the format according to me is,adding powerplay frm 6 to 8 in both innings,maximum of 10 overs each for bowler,maximum 4 outside 15 yard after 8 overs in the first 20 overs,5 outside in the second innings after 8 overs ,each team having two substitutes,for eg if india is 80/5 after first 20 overs india can bring rohit sharma in the second innings for praveen kumar,and sreeshant can be bring for sewag or gautam,if this format doesnt work they can switch in to 40 over with 20 over powerplays with existing rules,having one substitute,and no bowling restrictions..........hows that

What about each team play a bowling/ fielding eleven and a batting eleven, that way you have the best batsman against the best bowling and fielding attack for each innings, would make life interesting and allow more an opportunity to play at a higher level. To split the innings will not work.

cric_fan_in we had this exact thing, about player substitutions and it failed. the 12th player super sub was a failed concept. I think the 50 over game should be tweaked. Some of this changes are perhaps too radical...

Clearly no one has ever explained the K.I.S.S. principle to Cricket Australia.

This is my idea. 1. Split the innings into 2, each of 20 overs. 2. For every wicket lost, subtract 5 runs, ie if team 'A' scores 120 and loses 4 wickets, then the Final score would be 100. 3. The play would carry on, until all the overs are bowled, no matter how many wickets have fallen 4. At the end of the first innings of each team, calculate the deficit or the lead and repeat the process from 1-3 5. In this way, team and spectators at large would be at the edge of their seats till the last ball is bowled 6. The advantages would be not to explode and run away with a big team total. Team B scoring 90/0 would be better off than Team A scoring 135 allout

Is anybody reading this?

Just my opinion,its a very bad idea.Sheffield cricket,50ver ODI's and T20's are a good blend of formats.This may be a bit of a crowd pull at the start but it will die off quickly and how is this going to develop future young international cricketers who will play 50overs.I know CA are wanting more people through the gates but from a cricketers perspective if it aint broke dont fix it!!!

hi everybody..... Instead of having two 20/20 matches in 1, our domestic 40 over competition should be tried in international match. In other words reduce the 50 over match to 40 over match and introduce full player substitute system like other team sports football(Soccer). Example: if a baller is replaced he/she can bowl the remaining quota of 10 over limit. In second inning a batsman can replace the bowler.

In total one two substitues are allowed for each team
