Pro35 Evolution : Cricket's Newest Format

[Noble One]

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

Yes I'm sure that was the reason

 

[Debris]

They should have games with random number of overs. You pick teams and then spin a bat or something to determine number of overs (10 to 60)

 

[Hurricane]

How about Pro 32 - 32 overs long because 30 overs isn't enough for a batsman to score 170 runs plus and 35 overs is too long. There will be mandatory left arm round the wicket bowling for 7 overs of the game because this is a dieing art form and needs to be promoted. Teams will have to have a minimum of three top order batsman who are left handed because left handers are more graceful and this will attract more fans to the matches.
Preceeding each match will be 4-5 months of marketing to maximise attendance levels.

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

Ignoring previous warnings about multiple accounts.

 

[Kylez]

Sad to see him banned again.

 

[Hurricane]

Ignoring previous warnings about multiple accounts.

ok thanks.

Ever since I was a kid I watched test matches and 50 over ODI's and enjoyed them.

But thank god Twenty20 came along and showed me that I was being delusional and that international cricket's previous 120 odd years was all wrong and that everything had to change.

I think we need to introduced 30 over ODI. Then we can have Twenty20, Thirty30, Pro35, Fourty40 and the prehistoric 50 over cricket.

And then we can start on odd numbers. Twenty-One/21. Twenty-three/23 etc.

And we can have world cups every year for all of them.

Edit: I hope the BCCI doesn;t read this post. It might give them ideas.

 

[Patroclus]

sounds like a better version of Pro40

 

[Galactus]

dont know it will work or not but it should be trialled

spinplay will really help to shorten the duration of the match
it may also benefit the associate nations and make matches more closely fought

 

[Hurricane]

Either

a) Anyone who bumps one of these threads gets banned or

b) He was patroclus/Hrthnik in disguise.

I think b) is more likely - and I am wondering when the next incarnation of this person will be along.

The future of One Day International (ODI) cricket seems to be very uncertain. The effects of Twenty20 cricket (a.k.a Pro20 or T20) seem to be having a negative influence on the ODI game. Cricket Australia has said that the 2015 Cricket World Cup scheduled for Australia is not marketable. The England Cricket Board has scarped their domestic 50-over competition and replaced it with a 40-over game, while in South Africa we play a 45 over game in the MTN Domestic Championships.

Some people have suggested that the ODI game be split into two innings of 25 overs. I think this is a terrible idea; we’re just going to land up with two Twenty20 games in one.

There is simply too much Twenty20 cricket on the go, this year we’ve watched our domestic Twenty20 competition (the Standard Bank Pro20), the Indian Premier League (IPL), the ICC World Twenty20, and we’ll soon watch the Champions League and a few Twenty20 Internationals. That simply is more that a cricket enthusiast can absorb. I do believe there is a place for Twenty20 cricket, it should be use to grow the game and be used as an exhibition, the IPL, Champions league and world cups should be played where cricket is young and needs to be developed.

I have been watching cricket for about twenty years now, and I am a purest at heart. If we allow Twenty20 cricket to impact the ODI game, then it will surely have an impact on the format of test cricket, and we simply cannot allow that to happen.

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.

He is better than Lalit Modi, then..

If you really want to follow the visionary, reduce the mandatory left-arm-around-the-wicket-spin-play to 5 overs and be accomodating........

What are withholding the other 3 names for, Marc?????



I reckon these are all your mutis... :

 

[Bruce Campbell]

any better ideas of a new format ??????????

 

[Hurricane]

any better ideas of a new format ??????????

How do you feel about spinplay Bruce/Patroclus/Galactus/and can't spell the first one.

And how does the BCCI tie in with this proposal (Pro 35)?

 

[Burgey]

They should have games with random number of overs. You pick teams and then spin a bat or something to determine number of overs (10 to 60)

They should spin that bottle twice imo.

Personally don't see why the two teams need to face the same number of overs.

Imagine how good it would be for PNG to get, say, 60 overs, Australia get 10. That could do amazing things for the game tbh..

 

[Jezroy]

The thing that the ICC need to look at more to spread cricket around the world is introduce the "My dad could beat up your dad" argument. Then we'll see who would take it out between PNG and England. Hands down.
