Draws in test matches should not be decided by superover, as that will test only hitting ability. They should be decided by a supersession. The supersession will be a period of 15 overs each and whoever loses fewer wickets will win the match. It will also make superslow batsmen like Dravid and Laxman finally relevant in a tie breaker scenario.

Test Matches especially in the subcontinent are utterly boring mainly due to the batsmen oriented pitches where more often than not Draw is the only result but imagine a contest between the present test teams of India and England in conditions such as England where there is advantage for both the batsmen as well as bowlers ' date=' series like this have to be the most exciting encounters one can ever see in Cricket where everything comes out after a well fought battle between the Bat and the Ball which is what Cricket is all about . Cant really see why the format which can provide us series as such should be scrapped.[/quote'] Really? Can you tell me how many matches between the top 5 teams in India were drawn in last 10 years if there was no weather intervention?

They will still get bowled out in less time than SIR AFRIDI takes to dance on a cricket pitch. Mind U Padosis will still think its a conspiracy by BCCI / RAW / CIA / NASA
