MechEng Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Because they know they can't beat India with the older rule. And to remove reverse swing. Without reverse swing, the subcontinent pace bowling (especially Malinga and Pak bowlers) will become ineffective.
Cricketics Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 What are they upto? If you don't like 5 day cricket then you will not like 4 day either. Just stop concentrating so hard on it and let it be the way it is. Concentrate coming up with a better schedule and things like - No 2 match test series, wc format, bringing back champions trophy, t20worldcup once in 3 years etc

adi B Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 The motive here is not to get more people to watch tests. They want to reduce the time over which tests are played so that they can introduce their T20 league. :WTF: by saving a day from each test? lol
MCGGG Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Because they know they can't beat India with the older rule. We won 3 WCs in a row with the older rule, and a CT, India aren't exactly feared by us lol, fact is with one white ball the latter overs were often an anticlimax as the ball was A: to soft, and B: to hard to see.

MCGGG Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 How many times have you won an ICC tournament after 2009? How many has there been? Our rebuild is complete, there's no soup for you for 16 years brah.
brendan07 Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 +++++.Also to reduce powerplays to 10 overs instead of current 15 and increase size of boundaries to give bowlers some advantage in ODIs. The one idea I liked that I heard over the weekend is to give ONE bowler the ability to bowl 12 overs. Also boundaries should be at an absolute minimum 75 metres, otherwise they are not fit for International cricket. We can't have dead set shanks going for six!
gslv Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 there goes alaister cooks century target to cross tendulakars. he wont be able to play much tests after this bpl implementation.
brendan07 Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 there goes alaister cooks century target to cross tendulakars. he wont be able to play much tests after this bpl implementation. When the next option is Robson or the ever useless Hales...Cook is playing!:giggle:
sachin34357 Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 they suck at 50 overs cricket so want to bring it down to 40. to create window for their t20 league, they want to cut down test cricket to 4 days, how about they reduce the number of test matches they play in the summer from 7 to 5
HippoSucks Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 So what will happen when their batsman still get bowled out within 40 overs? Remove ODI cricket all together? England isn't doing so well in T20s either...
