Easier to just restrict the circulation of Virat pix anyway.

Or do whatever we want to the ball, save peeling the whole damn skin off. Bring on the Murray mints, Vaseline or as one current England player used in his time as an overseas player in NZ, sandpaper disguised as a bandaid.

Heh, gold.
Under that premise, we should allow golf clubs and balls to be bigger, made out of space age ridiculous technology etc. It's nice to have restrictions on how ridiculously power-based, and not skill-based, both sports can get to. No one wants rocket launchers in either sport - well I certainly do not. Long live the craftsmen.

That's genius. I am so tempted to try that.

Yeah I agree and it just shows you how innovative these bat makers have had to be. Cricket's one of the few sports where the main things, bat and ball, have seen virtually zero innovation or change in materials yet we've seen advances just in changing the shape distribution of the wood. The power gains are completely over-blown but they're there and the bats definitely feel different so kudos for that. Innovation like that shouldn't be punished, personally. Certainly not for some arbitrary reason like too many sixezzzz.

Restrict bat dimensions and enforce a 75 metre (or smth like that) minimum boundary length. Easy.
4 men in the deep is a good idea as it doesn't allow sides to sit on 10 part-time overs per match. Encourages them to either play 5 good bowlers, or bowl more aggressively for wickets throughout the innings.
Still unsure on 2 new balls. It has it perks, but it has killed reverse swing.
If, as a whole, cricket allowed fielding sides to do what they like with the ball (as long as no foreign objects are used), then 2 new balls is perfect. Exploit them for swing and seam movement, then wreck them and get reverse swing. Not that sides don't do it anyways, but if they don't need to worry about being discreet they can do so much better.

Eyes not spreadsheets
In rugby when the ball is down, play is stopped as the event is complete.
In cricket, at that point the player doesn't have control of the ball so the event isn't complete.

along with making it virtually impossible to umpire
