Two new balls

[mishra]

Quote

Having 2 new balls in one day cricket is a perfect recipe for disaster as each ball is not given the time to get old enough to reverse. We haven’t seen reverse swing, an integral part of the death overs, for a long time. #ENGvsAUS

No spin, no reverse swing, just simple testestorone. Not taking away anything from Scotlands or English performance so far but If Scotland scores 350 against English line up. It means we better put a bowling machine

Yeah, and usually conditions aren't good enough for even new ball to swing. ICC should go back to 1 ball only rule.

@Rasgulla any views on this.

Brick back the one ball rule. Reverse swing will bring back a little balance between bat and ball. Bowlers getting hammered in every game is making ODI's a bit boring.

[Switchblade]

Kohli has also supported Tendulkar on two new ball theory eagerly waiting for @Rasgulla bhai to say something on this.

for a moment i thought

[Moochad]

Certain teams couldn't play reverse swing or spin so they got rid of the 1 ball rule. 

 

I think the 2 new balls is a big reason the scores are so inflated now as well.

[putrevus]

Where is the outcry about these listless wickets, what is point in playing cricket like this.

Non-SC teams got rid of 1 ball only because old ball was helping spinners or SC pacers. Spinners could choke runs in middle overs, now they have taken offies out of equation.

 

Since leggies are ruling the roost now, soon a solution will be found to tackle these bowlers too.

That disgrace that kookaburra calls a cricket ball should be banned but SENA countries would rather have two of them from either end. What is needed is one good Dukes ball which has more lacquer and a prominent seam which would mean that the ball would conventionally swing/seam longer and further as well as bring reverse and spin into play later on.

Original problem statement in Lord Boycott's words, "They put a man on the moon but they can't make a cricket ball that holds its color for 50 overs".

I think the guy is more worried that kohli will break his 100 100s more than anything. He wants to slow it down a bit but it's still gonna happen one day. I think he should just chill out and accept that Virat is 10 x better team player.

He is ready for it ! He is our champion afterall, Can't let that  cunning old guy win. 

[Tibarn]

It would help BK to become more of a wicket taker if the old rules come back. He can be dangerous with the new ball in the first 10, with the 2nd new ball after the 30th, and then bowl a couple at the death. 

 

Suddenly his wicket taking issue will be gone I think

We are yet to develop such a technology.

Exactly. Once you take the skill factor out and make it a power game you see the dominance of western teams over SC teams and cricket, specifically ODI cricket, has suddenly become England's strength. Now ICC(read OZ/ENG/NZ) want to do that with test cricket as well and you can see the measures being taken (pink ball, trying to avoid the toss, labelling pitches 'poor' etc. etc.)

Missing reverse-swing due to 2 new balls has seriously demoralized Pakistan Death Bowling

[mishra]

Spin has been taken out of equation

Reverse swing has been taken out of equation.

 

Dead wickets and power hitting have been brought into equation. ICC rules are simply designed to hurt odi cricket and Asian teams.
