Forever Indian Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 There was a time when 250 was a very good score, then in last ten years 300 became the norm. This WC has made a mockery of scoring and 400 is scored every fourth match or so. This is mainly due to flat pitches. And cricket no longer seems like a contest let alone an even contest. Might as well watch baseball if we want only to see ball flying around. I feel this will be detrimental to the game in the near future. Might as well have bowling machines instead of bowlers.
Asim Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 1990's 260 = 1995's 290 = 2000's 320 = 2005's 340 = 2010's 360 = 2015's 380
Austin 3:!6 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Do not see a difference between Baseball and cricket anymore :headshake:
rkt.india Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Do not see a difference between Baseball and cricket anymore :headshake: lets shorten the pitch like baseball too.
Forever Indian Posted March 4, 2015 Author Posted March 4, 2015 From Cricinfo: Matt Groningen: "How many kids would be watching this world cup and dreaming of being a bowler when they grow up? It's got to the stage where the bat holds so much dominance over the ball that the limited overs game is becoming a mismatched farce. Personally, I find it sad. People want to see a good contest between bat and ball, not an exhibition of which country can swing the hardest."
bowl_out Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Two more 400+ scores coming next week... That'll make it 5 in the WC
bulbul Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Two more 400+ scores coming next week... That'll make it 5 in the WC We can score 400 against WI..Rohit 200
SLICKR392 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 ICC pitches. Doesn't matter. The blame would have fallen on us anyhow, had we hosted it.
bulbul Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Doesn't matter. The blame would have fallen on us anyhow' date=' had we hosted it.[/quote'] It wont for WC,you can always transfer the blame back to ICC anyway.
f.b.m Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 We see the ball smashed around in baseball all the time so good comparison.
adi B Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 How about a new rule,ball hitting the batsman's body (I.e missing the bat) more than 3 times will mean he's out
