Break the laws

[SaiSrini]

A bouncer is not dangerous, a beamer is dangerous and should remain banned. If you are good, you should be able to evade that really fast bouncer that comes into your body. With so many protection that you have these days, you can even take some blows.

Indian players are afraid of the short ball because they dont want to get hurt (which translates into not wanting to stay out of the team due to an injury, its all big money missed and slowly you are ejected out of Indian cricket).

Ever watched baseball?

the boundaries in baseball are quite high and are padded. why would you want that in cricket?

Take out Free hit rule for me!

Why should bowler get punished TWO times for a silly half inch mistake?

 

[Gurjot95]

Ever watched baseball? seriously cricketers needs to grow some balls, specially new Indian cricketers

Not often but pretty sure they don't put horizontal dives to catch the ball.

only for ODI's.

Overthrows for direct hits should really be banned, it's just stupid and I like the idea of allowing one bouncer per batsman in an over.

:laugh

Do we really need to mess with the game as it is?

Just leave it alone. If anything, mess with T20 so the Americans buy into it. Everything else, leave alone.

I think they should have 12 overs max rather than 10 in ODI, and change the max in T20 to 5 overs. Fed up with 8 players bowling, and it only promotes the increase of shitty bits and pieces players. This way, more straight batsmrn and bowlers in the team.

 

[McLOVIN]

^^ Or in T20's they could make a baseball style rule for bowling.

9 Batsmen + WK and 2 bowlers for 2 ends. They bowls, and they bowls, as many overs as they want, as long as the coach/team wants them to. 1s they get tired or w/e and the team wants to change, they could change them at the end of the over. And a new bowler will come in and bowl. They dont have to change both ends at once.

Teams with better bench will always have the adv. And squad should be 15+

Guys that dont watch baseball might not like it, but i think its pretty kool

Disagree with everything in the article except the light rules. Light should be offered imho.

All the other rules are fine for me.

One thing I would change is the penalties for slow over rates, this especially applies to test matches were paying customers are being deprived of 90 overs in the day due to poor over rates. Don't agree with fines they don't hurt teams. 5 runs per over you are behind at the end of the day should be more than enough to insure captains insure they don't get behind the over rate.

They do put their body on the line to take catches, but the point you should probably make is that they don't really do it just to stop the ball from rolling into the fence. In baseball, there is great merit to colliding with the boundary, in cricket there is not, especially if it's an attempt to shave less than 1% off a team total. As a result, this comparison is rather forced.

I don't really agree with this to be fair. There has to be some element of balancing a team. My point would still be cricket. For limited overs I just want more pure bowlers and batsmen so we can see some real quality.

Man why do you have to bring baseball into everything? Cricket doesn't need to follow baseball, it's much better off without the T20 crap and the baseball influence.
