sage Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 (edited) There are two changes that I’d propose for next season’s IPL1. Introduction of the Bonus Points for winning a game with a huge margin. NRR is absolute but over 14 games is a tough math to understand. Bonus point is a tangible reward for playing significantly better. And also,…— Aakash Chopra (@cricketaakash) May 20, 2023 Edited May 20 by Austin 3:!6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosingh Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I prefer net run rate. In what Aakash Chopra is proposing a record like [W (with bonus), W (with bonus), L, L, L ] is as good as [W (without bonus), W (without bonus), W (without bonus), L, L]?

A win should always be greater than a loss. You can use big margin wins for tie breakers, but a big margin win can never compensate for more losses. The NRR system works just fine putrevus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordPrabhzy Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 i agree with the second point. Even the last day of thru EPL, all football matches are on at the SAME time which prevents team from changing strategy or susceptible to lose on purpose if they know another teams score. This is true of all the final group games of football WC as well. MI and RCB should have played at the same time and would have resulted in Kohli being more urgent in his scoring as he wouldnt have known if MI would win or lose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordPrabhzy Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 and to add- i am sure Jio can have have more than 1 channel showing the simultaneous games- so viewers can flick between the two and watch both if needs be. If in the distant future the IPL will be a 6/7 month affair then you cant play one game every day- it has to be played during weekends with simultaneous games on multiple channels so viewers can chose which match they want to follow. You cant force a delhi fan to watch a KKR and CSK match if they dont want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vishalvirsingh Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 My two cents for Next IPL 1. Create pacer friendly Pitches- green pitches so that genuinely good batsman succeed. Are you looking for SLOGGERS as SLOGGERS can beat a good batsman on batting friendly Patta's. on such IPL Pitches ,many batsman look as good as Virat kohli. even a SHivam DUBEY or a vijay shankar plays equally good on such flat pitches. 2 benefits with this- A> good batsman will succeed and improve as he has to score fast on a green friendly pitch. b>Pace bowlers will improve and this will benefit India immensely. No use of Patta's as pacers don't improve and average batsman look as deadly talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Good second suggestion Another suggestion is to extend impact player rule to O/S as long as one going out is also O/S. Also allow atleast one bowling change in middle of the over. Sort of a stop loss if one bowler is leaking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
