It's a good idea in theory but there are lots of things to consider, such as the games are locked in as 100 over matches and you wouldn't generally know that it would become a 40 over game till about 2 days before, this is a problem given that tv schedules are locked in, catering staff, ground security staff etc... are all rosted on and paid to work what is effectively a 8-10 hour day. You can't be stuffing around that many people just because a game is essentially worthless.
