    Agarkar for a paperclip. Atleast, the latter can keep things tight.

    You're missing the point. I'm not concerned about the quality of the product. Profits gained from Bollywood > Profits of Independent Australian films due to brainless mass consumption.

    LOL. Would love to see Indian supporters burning his effigy. He'll probably hunt them down and burn their houses in return

    You'd have to hope that someone can feed the ball to him first.

    You'll regret this when Laxman decides he's gonna have one of those 'I don't feel like getting out today' days. :)

    ODI Rule Changes

    So you are happy with the way ODI's are being played now ? Heavily favoured in terms of batsman with bowlers generally being in damage control.

    ODI Rule Changes

    Cricket should be 11 vs. 11 - this was glaringly apparent when the supersub gimmick didn't take off. Just placing extra fielders minimises the effect a captain has on choosing clever field settings. Half of being a good captain on the field is making the best use of the resources available to you.

    ODI Rule Changes

    You're right a wild slog isn't illegal, but it's an ugly part of the game - what point is there watching a batsman trying to slog a fast bowler over cow corner 6 times in an over, missing 5 times only to connect the 6th time. Atleast in baseball, the batsman would have been striked out.

    Alright then, what rule do you propose to minimise batsman dominating ODI cricket matches (besides changing the pitch conditions) ??

    ODI Rule Changes

    I think this rule is no more worse than the whole free hit rubbish after a no-ball, I mean isn't an extra run plus delivery enough. OK, I have changed my way of implementation of this rule. If a batsman recklessly swings at a ball and misses and doesn't get out in the process (ie not bowled)...

    ODI Rule Changes

    Yep pretty much. I'd doubt the batsman will actually oscillate between scores if the rule was enforced. If he's sensible he'd do it once then try to play proper shots for a while thereafter. Remember the proportion of time that a proper batsman actually attempts a reckless swing is probably less...

    ODI Rule Changes

    Just quietly, if a batsman got hit in the 'jatz crackers' I'd think he'd have much bigger things to worry about than just how many leg-byes he managed to run of the said delivery. Yes you're right the total is 0 runs, in the situation you described above. One more note, the wild slog thing...

    ODI Rule Changes

    Aaah. I should have said that the wild swing-run docked thing should only be applied if the target hasn't been overhauled yet. In your example, Australia have already won as they have reached the target of 83.

    Awwwww. But then we can have batsman who have negative averages.:laugh:

    ODI Rule Changes

    A couple of ideas I like to see implemented. 1. If a batsman makes a wild swing at the ball and doesn't connect than he should be penalised 1 run each time he does it. I mean if a bowler is penalised 1 run + extra deliveries for no-balls/wides why can't a batsman. The umpire will decide what...
