jdbais said:Yeah, it is a bit complicated. I can't remember where i read this idea but I think it is a good one. The match is split into four innings with each being 25 overs long. Whoever wins the toss can decide to bat or bowl and after the first team bats and finishes their 25 overs the other team bats and finishes their 25 overs. Whoever has more runs after 25 overs can then decide whether they want to bat or bowl first in the next innings.
Remember now??Me-a while back said:Complicated but a good Idea- What about a four inning ODI? 25 overs per Inning, rules like a test match but follow on only 75 runs
This is a good point. One of the problems with this 3 innings cricket is that if a team loses 3 very quick wickets, the bowling side may not get the chance to capatalise on their strong position.angryangy said:One issue I think is that you say 3 wickets offers a "reward" for the bowlers. As a "reward" they get to sit in the pavillion. I am unsure of the value of this reward. Disruption of momentum seems to be punishment to the bowlers.
