Yet people do a load when they get a 120-140 scoreline (not saying you do btw). How's that a contest between bat and ball either? I don't want to see a road-a-thon, but by the same token I wouldn't want to see ODIs where they don't need to turn the lights on.
It's like with tests. Aside from idiots who think rank turners from day one are great (and those people wouldn't know their arse from a Bruno Cuccinelli unstructured linen blazer) everyone thinks an ideal test wicket is greenish day one, flattens out days two and three, turns days four and five - because it has something in it for everyone. And yeah, that is ideal. But you get it about once every four years. It's not like 359 plays 360 ODIs are standard, and as far as ODIs go, 280-300 is the new 240-260 anyway, with the power plays, smaller and faster outfields and bats like cannons.
