@BRUTALANALYST dude its because those teams don't have good batsman. and NZ have seam friendly condition.so if they don't survive in early overs that will happen.Check the fall of wicket in that match.u will understand. But look at the matches held in subcontinent they scored loads of runs.too easy for batsman and it is ridiculous.The only good thing i see is this is a great opportunity for subcontinent batsman to score centuries and increase their averages.We all know which team gets the advantage from this rules.A team who don't have good fast bowlers to reverse swing the ball.
@ crzcric You should tune into the NZ V WI Odi Series the bowlers are totally dominating the game.
George Dobell is 100% on point.
2 new balls is a good concept and brings in quite amount of aggressive play. Only change I would suggest in this is to offer the bowling side a CHOICE to ask for 2nd new ball after 25 overs only (just like Test cricket 80 overs rule). This would allow pace rich sides to continue with their strength (2nd new ball) OR allow spinners/reverse swingers to use their skills (1st ball). Secondly, 1 legitimate bouncer rule should be re-calibrated in bowler's favor during power plays.
there has to something for both batsmen & bowlers...
The conclusion i came to after watching the recent ODI's in India was that all i needed to do was to watch the last 6 overs of the second teams innings.Before that it would just be cheap runs with no control whatsoever from any of the bowlers.The new rules should have been thought out better so as to suit most conditions, not just ENG,AUS,NZ & SA. I can see why BCCI behave the way they sometimes do.
Yes, ODIS are now meant only for batsmen. Its ridiculous to see even the Australian bowlers unable to defend 350 totals. We are having 50 overs a side super-sixes game.
Absolutely not,,,,, with this both the teams can play with the same condition of the ball,,,
I don't think so, if you have the weak attack like india then it is a issue.. Pakistan team is one such example where thier is only three to four instances this year the teams able to cross 250/- against them
The use of white balls has resulted in the use of two balls in an innings. The benefits of this is that new balls are used and the deterioration of the balls is during the match unlike the earlier case mandatory change after 32 overs. May be they can try to start with two balls and at the end of the 30-35 overs the fielding team decides which single ball they want to use for the rest of the 20 overs and if the color is degraded then use the other ball (if required) The main issue with the new rule is regarding the field restrictions which are unfair to the fielding team. ICC should revert back on the old rules for field restrictions and Power Play over should be 15 overs only. This new fielding rules are definitely not what cricket wants.
