    ODI rule changes

    The problem with getting a new ball after every 25 overs is that it pretty much eradicates spinners out of ODI cricket. Sure they may get a little extra bounce, but there will be less grip and turn which is essential for an attacking spinner.

    **Official** Chappell-Hadlee Series

    IMO Watson's preferred position in No. 4/5, he's not an opener by any stretch of the imagination

    **Official** Chappell-Hadlee Series

    Finally, Jaques has been included in the squad. Made 94 on debut and the guy hasn't been since. I feel that he is a more dynamic player than Hayden and since he is unorthodoxy aggressive he won't feel the need to catch Gilchrist or impose himself as Hayden does (usually to his downfall.)

    Even India would be proud of that collapse.

    ODI rule changes

    I still don't see any need to change the ball unless its necessary (i.e. discoloration, hard to see, out of shape etc.) Changing the ball irregularly will have a detrimental effect on both bowlers and batters. Batsman won't be able to hit the slower, older ball and pacers wont find any swing...

    ODI rule changes

    Bit too complicated and lead to time delays with all these ball changes. ODI cricket only has to be tinkered with a little bit. 1. PITCHES - make them with a bit more greenery for the bowlers. Fines for the ground association if they don't. 2. Loosen the one bouncer per over to two. 3. Legside...

    ***Official*** 3rd Test at the WACA

    Great day so far for England, and the real positives are that Harmison has been a real menace and the wildcard Monty was FINALLY unleashed to show what he's capable for. Must get Hussey out soon (I know I'm asking for a lot) as his batting with the tail is 2nd to none.
