Small grounds should be banned

[Texan]

Feel like the game is already lopsided in favor of the batsman. With small grounds, top edges, powerless shots also carry over the boundaries. Small grounds just make a mockery of the game. For all international or franchise cricket games, small grounds should be absolutely banned. ICC should put in place rules requiring a minimum boundary radius for all international games.

For T20s organisers actually pull the boundary rope in for that batsmen can make big scores quickly. There are no bowler rights in T20s. Public come to see big hits only...

They should have standard ground sizes. Like every other sport

You can still have sixes and fours with good cricketing shots on large grounds. Seeing mishits sailing over the boundary is disappointing IMO. I like to see a good contest between bat and ball and not see batsmen striking against a bowling machine.

Nah, just spice up the pitches.

This was a small ground in 90s too where our batsmen even struggled to 4s but now batting has just evolved.

Apparently Tendulkar’s one of the greatest ODI knocks “Desert storm” came here. Wrong day to create such threads. Some bhakts might incarcerate you. Alert.
