Ashwin calls it out too - ODI rules are killing spin bowling

[sandeep]

Been pointing this out for 6 years now - when you force only 4 outfielders in middle 30 overs of ODI, its like the villain in bad action movie injuring the 'hero' in secret before a one-on-one 'fight' in public.  

 

Watch from 17 minutes on - he spells it out clearly.

 

This rule was introduced after 2011 world cup, and its a dumb rule.  It will go eventually, because if it doesn't ODI cricket will continue to become one long T20 which is boring.  But question is how long it takes.

The field restrictions and 2 new balls have rendered off spinners useless particularly in one day cricket.

spot-on analysis.

Spot on analysis about how spinners are becoming less and less effective.

Piyush Chawala was as ineffective like that. Dhoni still took him To w cup and he has a w cup winner medal to show. In 2041 when Indi celebrates 30 yeare since its last w cup win he will be there smiling and waving at cameras while Rohit Sharma will sit on his sofa and watch

The guy is so used to performing when most things are stacked in his favor ... Add field restrictions to his list!

Asian teams are so dumb,they voluntarily agreed on the two balls in Odis,they should have realized they are significantly making their teams weaker by minimizing their spinners.

It was the time BCCI was weakest. Cant say much about the other asian sides.

This is not true - that rule change happened when Srini Mama was still ruling it - Lodha chaos happened after the rule change IIRC.

Oh May be it was the formation of big 3 that caused Srini to accept it. Oct 2011 was when it was introduced. Both reverse swing and spin is gone in ODIs. May be then only England can finally win something with them out.

Not sure if Srini Mama decides on cricketing matters.. Most probably it would be Dhoni (captain)  who backed the move

Dhoni is known for Dhoniconda. I highly doubt that! He would have suggested 6 fielders outside

ODIs have become the most boring format for me in recent times.

Need to do something regarding odis. 

I usually defend Dhawan, Rohit and Kohli but felt asleep when they were batting in last match. 

Koi urgency nahi.... Hadd hai...

They have done the same with Hockey.

 

negate the strengths of Asian teams. We haven’t won a hockey Olympics medal for god knows how many years, and our spinners have become ineffective in ODI matches and our pacers are unable to utilise reverse swing. Since this rule change, England has benefited the most playing on patta English tiny grounds. Absolute c**nts.
