Death of bowlers! MCC & ICC need to step in

[gazza619]

Enough is enough. There will come a point when no one would aspire to be a bowler.

MCC & ICC needs to step in and save the game. Give the bowlers something!!

I miss the days when batters feared bouncers, doosras or toe crushing reverse swing yorkers.

Let the bowlers bowl as many bouncers as they want.

Get rid of the 2 new balls rule.

Remove ‘Umpires Call’ from DRS. If the technology says it’s hitting, then trust it 100%.

Just to balance it out, I’d reduce max boundary size to 85m.

Bring back the graphite Kookaburra bats. The boomers banned it because they thought it gave an advantage to batsmen but allowed the thickness of bats to get larger. What losers.

whats icc got to do with a domestic tournament. flat tracks, small boundaries, relatively weak bowling attacks are the issue here, ICC dont have jurisdiction over any of them.

icc wt20 had a well balanced final.

Biggest farce has been the boundary size in this PSL. An absolute joke. Thought it was just perception. But some of the shots Jason hit today legit looked like skiers only, yet cleared these Mickey Mouse boundary sizes.

Get rid of these rules:
- Maximum of 2 bouncers in an over
- Umpires call on hitting stumps
- Free hit after no ball
- Restrictions on fielders outside/inside circle
- Legside wide

- Free hit after no ball
- Restrictions on fielders outside/inside circle
- Legside wide

Leg side ball is almost impossible to play

Just restore the normality of standard boundary size which should not be less than 75meter, cricket has become a joke off late!

 

[Farabi]

Everything changes and evolves. This is the new normal. The new baseline economy rate is 8 RPO. Bowlers should just reset expectations and aim to beat that number.

The quality of bowling is not degrading. The requirements are changing and better bowlers still outperform others.

Baseball is about swinging the bat on every ball. Is it unfair to pitchers? No.

Sport, which is a form of entertainment, will go where the eyeballs are. Nothing can stop it. Accept it and enjoy the ride!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Regulate bats and push those boundaries back. Reduce the sweet spots in bat such that only a batsman who really middles the ball gets boundaries.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Just make boundaries 75m all around. That way fluke edges will be caught at the boundary line instead of an undeserved 6.

The plead continues.

There is no excitement anymore to watch a 6 or a 4.

 

[JattMaula]

Batting inning used to be like a 3 act movie or play.

Setup was the initial powerplay. You get to know your players.


The Confrontation was the middle overs. It was the rising of the tention phase. And it build gradually towards...

and the Resolution was the Climax. The death overs. Conclusion.


It's all a gooning session now. Not everyone like to goon.

No bro, its Naseem Shah who was not bowling well, pitch is decent
