changes to the ODI format for the future

[Texy]

In this day and age, where even T20s seem to drag on.

• Should Odis b be shortened to 40 overs,
• with 10 overs of PP and 5 overs of optional PP2 taken, to make the game more exciting?

Odis are best as it is , 50 overs makes sure batsmen have ability to bat and build an innings.Bowlers also need to have endurance .

[Lord]

just make the pitches bit bowling friendly, they will seem interesting again

[putrevus]

Start one hour early to eliminate dew factor.

[Tillu]

Don't want any changes to ODIs but want our ground dimensions to be increased to 80m on all sides.

 

For the Aussies who are so used to playing on their huge grounds, our grounds will appear like coin sized grounds.

 

Batsmen like Head and Tim David will be an absolute menace on our pocket sized grounds.

They changed some rules regarding new balls. Their was an update but I haven't followed it properly.

I think the wide rule regarding leg side wides should be reinstated .

After 34 overs, out of the two new balls bowling side can pick one ball which usually aids in reverse swing etc .
