This is the best thing ICC have done for awhile. Even though it was their fault the thing was there in the first place. I still think it would have been a waste of time if they had it after the toss.

They haven't done it yet, have they? I've heard that they were going to propose it be dropped, which almost certainly means it will be, but hasn't been yet. Good move though.

Not so - you name 12, you toss, you name 11 had it's merits.
Evidently wasn't what Dave Richardson and the team had in mind, though...
Still - probably better that it's been scrapped at the first available opportunity. I think it ran the danger of reducing the popularity of ODIs.
Good that ICC, for once, had the sense to abandon something before it became an especially large problem... ala Zimbabwe and many other things.

WR the PowerPlays - the things are a better idea than many that have been discussed with field-placings, but they're never going to work with the current unimaginative use.
Waiting for PowerPlays has profited on several of the rare occasions captains have waited for them.

I agree that the Powerplays could have been used so much better, but it just seemed that the international teams thought that both new rules were fairly useless.

THis is bad news for India, as India had taken maximum advantage of this rule.Now India will have to come up with a good allrounder who can be the fifth bowler in the od team

I'm all for this exciting rule, as for one it favours India.
India should voice its strong opposition to ICC , and shouldn't let this great rule be dropped

I think India should just find themselves a decent all rounder. Come on, take away the fact that this rule benefits the team you obviously support and see that it was god awful.hindmaatujesalam said:I'm all for this exciting rule, as for one it favours India.

Yay, the ICC doing something right?
Maybe they could go the whole hog, get rid of powerplays, and then Zimbabwe!

To be honest, I thought they should completely get rid of Zimbabwe, but then I saw that the u19 did ok, and that made me realise that if ZC could sort their s//t out then they could actually be competetive. Sad that.Langeveldt said:

yeh agreed, well I'd hate to see Zimbabwean cricket die altogether because I've always been really fond of it, but they cant go on playing internationals..sirjeremy11 said:
Must be a weird feeling being part of a successful U19 setup and knowing you have sod all chance of good international cricket.. I hope a few of them go to SA and play franchise cricket because they have some talented players..

I never like the super sub to be honest.
I think with the power plays they should let the batting team select when one of the power plays take place.

Yes. Hopefully we can forget this ever happened. Sort of like that episode of the Simpsons where Principal Skinner was actually Armand Tanzerian.Jono said:Best news I've heard all day. I'm so glad the World Cup will be without this rule.
