You cannot have bats like that ! : Holding.

Come on vvs, you know cricket better than this. We routinely see edge fly over slips, top edges that land over third man or fine leg region for six, mishits clear the ropes. The other day in the Ind vs SAF Rahane muscled a fast bowler for six over midwicket at the G. In those days only Beefy & Viv were capable of hitting sixes at the G. With the ridiculously sized bats coupled with field restrictions the game has been reduced to a joke. The bowler has his hands tied behind his back, mouth plastered and eyes blind folded and ears sealed. The game will have no following if the status quo continues for too long.

I am merely saying it is slightly more exaggerated . There is more meat now. Those who had intent those days were able to hit sixes even in that era. Srikkanth cleared the longest part of Adelaide Oval against patrick patterson in 1991. Even with the older bats i expect modern day batsmen to score quicker . May not be 400 plus totals.. But 300 plus totals is more realistic.
