where pitches were competitive, not these roads that any Mickey Mouse batter can use to pad averages…
the modern day limited overs cricket is boring ….it’s fast food on steroids…too heavily weighted in favor of batters
suggested changes..
- allow up to 3 bouncers per over
- only 4 fielders must be in the circle. Get rid of power play restrictions
- allow 2 bowlers up to 15 overs each. Unused allotment can be allocated to remaining bowlers
- balls pitching wicket to wicket, or outside the off stump, cannot be called leg side wides
- prepare better, more evenly balanced pitches..not these barren concrete tracks
These won’t solve the problem but it will give bowlers something to work with…
otherwise 50 over cricket, like West Indies, will continue to slide down the slippery slope to Mike Tyson’s bolivion..
50 over cricket should be closer to test cricket than it is to lickit and not the other way around …
