Break the laws

I say change the free hit to if a beamer is bowled, not for overstepping.
 
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 times. 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.

Yep, it's a real blight on the game IMHO. It's not just bad for the spectators, but it can affect results too. I can see a day where an important game could be decided by over rates. Consider a 5th day run chase in a series deciding game. The bowling team could completely dawdle, bowl 8 overs an hour and win the match when the light becomes so bad that it can't continue. At the moment, there would be fines levied and the captain 'might' be suspended but it could be worth it if it's a really important series.

I liked the way the IPL went about it. BIG fines for bad over rates. Or you could start something where if you don't bowl 28 or 30 overs every 2 hours the other team gets 10 runs per over not bowled. That'd fix up the rates.
 
^^ 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+
