Message: [QUOTE="Major JW Hochstetter, post: 2265044, member: 1828"] I haven't given much thought about the merits of this idea, but perhaps many of the rules and restrictions that have come into ODI's over the years should simply be removed? Things like leg-side wides, fielding restrictions, bouncers per over, bringing the ropes in, highway pitches, yada yada. Make it virtually Test Match conditions with the only major variable being the number of overs - be it 50, 40 or 2 x 25. Just let the bat and ball fight it out without any help rather than stacking everything in favour of the bat for the sake of the audience's alleged 'viewing pleasure'. Again, no idea if it would work but I'm always keen on ways that promote a fair contest in cricket. I love seeing the ball getting smashed to all parts of the ground as much as anyone, but only when it's earned on the batsman's own merits. [/QUOTE]
