IPL Rule Change - Teams will now be named after the toss

LOLLL

 

so during batting they can pack their team with 11 batters and during bowling they can have 11 bowlers.

 

What chutiyapa is this. BCCI trying to reduce accountability of their star player captains to pick a  balanced team which can do well either batting or bowling first

That is not correct. The rule is you can pick your playing XI depending on toss result. I think it is a good move as it would take out the toss advantage to some extent. We have seen in many venues the game is decided during the toss itself. Now if a team has loss the toss and is asked to bat first where its easy to chase, they can drop a batsman and pick an extra bowler for example.

It doesn't matter for RCB :)

so why have a toss- either you standardised pitches and ground sizes therefore you dont need the toss OR you just play with the luck of the toss and hope for the best with the team you have selected

LMAO...

 

RoFL..

 

Hahahhaha..

 

Whatdjoke....

 

 

IPLis a joke

Always felt that teams should be allowed to pick their 11 after the toss (to make the game more fair/competitive esp. at venues where winning the toss can give an unfair advantage). 
 

A step in the right direction!

I don't think Pitches and ground sizes are a concern. The issue is toss plays a major factor in white ball cricket where batting gets easier under lights for due. We have seen in last Asia cup and will see the same in upcoming ODI world cup. The only way to negate this is to have day matches but that won't be possible due to broadcaster's demand. Thats why you will see toss is not such a concern in test cricket but in day/night white ball games, its the main thing.

Yes.. when Loli was the captain...

 

last 3 years , they have been the most consistent team with knockout appearance.

Good move.

 

It negates the toss advantage to some extent.

 

Also, I am happy that we are trying to introduce positive changes to the game instead of being followers.

I don't like the 'Impact player' rule, cricket should stay 11v11.

 

However, allowing playing XI selection after the toss is a good move. Will help in reducing the impact of dew which is a huge problem in Asia.

IPL is an exhibition. Only Indian fans are fools to take it seriously. 

[sandeep]

This helps mitigate the 'win toss, win match' probabilities a bit, but not by much.

 

Having a toss auction is the optimal solution in my opinion, one that fits across all conditions and formats.  Captains should bid on the right to bat/bowl first in 5 run increments.  If batting 2nd is an advantage worth 20 runs then let it be priced in, instead of having "luck" bestow that benefit.

Good move. I have always wondered why this isn't the case. Captains might pick their teams differently depending on whether they bat first or bowl first.

It also works better with the super-sub in place now

Absolutely love this rule.

Along with the impact player rule, who can be substituted I think IPL at least is making the game more exciting

[Lord]

Expected. The super sub rule was a farce because it became too much in favour of toss winning team
