Pro35 Evolution : Cricket's Newest Format

[Hrithik]

Hrithik, you've been warned before about making the same post multiple times. Once is enough.

sorry i will use multi quote next time i need a bit time to learn plzz dont ban me from anything plzzz

Disagree that 'spinplay' would make cricket more strategic. It would make the cricket more formulaic - why take away a captain's ability to strategically manage who bowls and when? If over-rates are the sole concern, then carry over the mandated over-rate from T20 (can't imagine you'd really want to go much faster than that).

But it will help to foster the art of spin bowling & eliminate the boring mid overs of odis

 

[Hrithik]

sounds like a format that would suit many of the sub continental countries. Want a way to spice up 50 over cricket? Maybe don't make the pitches so flat every ****ing game

50 over cricket will die and it will take cricket with it

 

[Hrithik]

Another rule you suggest, the return of the super-sub. I imagine many would be against.

The reason it is no longer used is because it was a really poor rule. Another rule that just confuses fans, is only beneficial in certain specific circumstances, placed far too much reliance on whoever won the toss and has thankfully been abolished.

Would actually make a decent thread topic itself. Interesting to hear after four years if many would like the return of the super-sub, what could be done to improve the rule.

it will add a bit color to the boring game esp mid overs

Compulsory spin is a terrible idea.

To be honest, I think it would be good, as it would renew the importance of spin, which has faced an up hill marathon since the introduction of the IPL and other Twenty20 competitions.

Our best bowler at the T20 world cup was a spinner!

The art is fine: it just needs to be done well, and if you're good enough to do it, then you'll get picked.

Swann, Mishra, Smith and others all excelled at the T20 World Cup. The art of spin is not dying at all. It is just that because we have lost/are about to lose arguably the two greatest spin bowlers of all time, who by coincidence happened to have their career's coincide, people have their expectations out of proportion with reality.

Sorry, what?

Since the advent of T20 domestically and internationally the one thing that's been apparent is that good quality spin bowling not only has a part to play, but it's thrived in the Twenty20 format.

Re: spintime helping the art of spin and reducing 'boring middle overs'.
I don't think it would do either thing actually. First I disagree that the middle overs of ODIs are boring. Second, haven't you already achieved that objective by shortening the innings by 15 overs?

Also disagree that the 50 over game is in trouble. It's growth and boomtime are probably over, with T20 emerging, but there still seems to be a healthy market for it. There's a big difference between being a mature product that is not growing but not shrinking badly either compared to a product that's "dying".

This all sounds to me like a bunch of arse.

I second this.

 

[Burgey]

it will help fasten the game & spice up the boring middle overs of an ODI & will give some respect to the artistry of spin bowling

The boring middle overs of an ODI? You mean the ones which are mostly bowled now by spinners and such...

Nice effort this, but you can't mandate a type of bowling. Unless you're happy to have it so teams are not allowed to have a spinner bowl with the new ball in this format. Perhaps though, that might not give certain teams enough of an advantage

yup middle overs become confusing and boring to the viewers when bowling changes are introduced

RT but the no. of fast bowler are always more than spin bowlers spinplay will give them some respect maxm we can reduce it to 10 overs not 14

Most teams will be tempted to take in three spinning options in case one player has a bad day. Most of the time you will be ok with two specialist spinners and one part timer in your line up however. This sort of game format could breathe new life into the lungs of players like Jeetan Patel.

This is one of the stupidest things I've ever read.

 

[Hurricane]

Why is he banned - I was enjoying his unique ideas...what happened.

 

[Hurricane]

Also he was trying to be accommodating to feedback you can see that he reduced the number of spin overs down to 10 from 14 based on feedback.

 

[Matt79]

Look forward to a new thread on this exciting idea appearing 15 seconds after his ban expires!

yeah he was very accomodating. can't believe he got banned for inventing a new exiting format of the game.
