Tweaks to ODI cricket

[Cricketman]

Perhaps we could implement some minor changes to give the fielding side some advantages in ODI cricket.

Here are a few ideas -

a) Two bowlers are allowed to extend their quota and bowl 12 overs in an innings.

b) During the bowling powerplay (perhaps both powerplays) the fielding side is allowed to field an extra fielder.

Anything else?

Warne's idea: Have no fielding restrictions or bowling restrictions.

If you get a maiden as a batsmen your out?

 

[Cricketman]

Nah it would be hella boring to watch a spinner bowl like 25 overs from one end all day - something which is inevitable in Sri Lanka with Mulari or something.

Taking out the bowling restriction takes out those teams that have good all rounders. I'd prefer to keep that skill in there as its always good seeing how teams work out what to do with 10 overs after their 4 main bowlers.

The only one I could think of is forcing the teams to take the powerplay before the 40th over.

Just make the Powerplay for 10 overs (at the start of the innings) and get rid of the bowling/batting Powerplays.

Increase the number of bouncers by 1 more per over.

 

[Cricketman]

I still think an Allrounder would be vital as 8/10 overs is a considerable chunk and they might go on to bowl the full 12 as well.

Cricketman added 0 Minutes and 27 Seconds later...

Oh and take out bouncer rule - all forms of the game.

That will actually help the scoring rate, which doesnt need the boost but it actually needs to be brought down which is what we are discussing about.

Well if you have 2 bowlers having 12 overs then they will be left with 6 overs. Most teams will just go 12/12/10/10/6 and they will probably end up giving 2 part timers the 6 overs.

 

[TumTum]

OMG it is simple. Don't make flat tracks.

Every ODI match has a flat track these days, give them some life ffs. Everything else will follow.

 

[shravi]

Reduce it by 30 overs ? Just kidding lol.

- 2 bouncers per over

However, outside the rules, I would just like to see more variety in pitches- hard, green, dusty, flat. Just mix it up.

And not be categorized by whichever country you play in, see a mix in EVERY country.

No bouncer rule.

Green pitches

No 7 match series

Disallow 2 teams from overplaying each other in 2 year increments (IND SL and IND AUS)

Yeah, the thing is it allows a team to have more specialists than those 'bits and pieces' cricketers. And also 4 additional overs for the specialist bowlers could possibly make it tougher for the batsmen.

make better goddamn white ball. the bats are improving, but balls are still shitty as hell

no day-night game if the weather is fliped
