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.
Of course it is hurting cricket.Now its a batsmans game.We can hardly see bowlers dominating the game.with two new balls there is no reverse swing.too many sloggers in the game.even if there is too many runs scored its boring.Batsman don't need too many skills to score runs these days. This is an insult to the greats like Sachin,Lara,Dravid ,Ponting who earned centuries by their skills.Bring back old rules.we want to see bowlers winning match too.
@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.
Posted by BRUTALANALYST on (December 27, 2013, 0:43 GMT)@ crzcric You should tune into the NZ V WI Odi Series the bowlers are totally dominating the game.
Posted byGeorge Dobell is 100% on point.
Posted by tanstell87 on (December 26, 2013, 14:33 GMT)there has to something for both batsmen & bowlers...
Posted by gandabhai on (December 26, 2013, 11:07 GMT)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.
Posted by wapuser on (December 26, 2013, 9:32 GMT)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.
Posted byAbsolutely not,,,,, with this both the teams can play with the same condition of the ball,,,
Posted by ana_ibrahim on (December 26, 2013, 7:16 GMT)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
