    Potential changes to the laws of cricket

    You come across as being vastly more interested in asserting yourself than discussing anything, so, all the best.

    Potential changes to the laws of cricket

    Yes, I'm sure the national cricket board will instruct its side to throw a match in order to avoid a $50,000 fine for producing a drawn game. This is too hard. I will leave you to it.

    My mistake for not stating the obvious! If the test is affected by the weather, then there should OBVIOUSLY be no fine. Hard work...

    Right, got it, thanks for popping in. Anyway, anyone else got any ideas. Strobe lights for day-night games?

    Potential changes to the laws of cricket

    I do like the fact that you're unable to understand that my idea is nothing more than a rough diamond and not, as you seem to have convinced yourself, a finalised proposal.

    The same one where Punter had that Crying Game moment with a tranny?

    Potential changes to the laws of cricket

    Do you think my idea is any more ridiculous than having substitutes in ODIs? Hmmm... Anyway, re. your point above, I've long been in favour of the implementation of fines for grounds which produce drawn tests, payable by the home nation's cricket body.

    Okay, thanks for the useful contribution.

    I think the Aussies already do that, don't they?

    Potential changes to the laws of cricket

    I'm not suggesting that my proposal should be drafted into the laws of the game tomorrow, merely using it as a starting point. Clearly you don't want to actually consider the possibility of change, which is fair enough. But don't forget, we'd all be living in caves if nobody had decided there...

    Potential changes to the laws of cricket

    Trust me, there's not a bigger England optimist than me (eg, I genuinely expect the Aussies to suffer at unexpectedly at our hands in the upcoming ODIs), but we have to face facts.

    Potential changes to the laws of cricket

    Yes, the leave always has been a very important element of test cricket...but test cricket has never faced the ever-increasing shadow cast by the ODI scene to the extent it does now, especially in Asia. Given they seem to hold the reins of the ICC cart-horse, it would be wise, I think, to...

    Potential changes to the laws of cricket

    I think Sehwag's a one-off, isn't he? Surely only Hayden can match him in terms of consistent unreliability?

    Potential changes to the laws of cricket

    Well, we need to come up with something as, with the exception of England's, batsmen are dominating the game.

    Potential changes to the laws of cricket

    Okay, keep the LBW rule as it is, but batsmen should be allowed to leave no more than 3 balls in each over. If they fail to conclusively get bat on ball on at least 3 occasions, then they are subjected to a 1 run penalty per miss, rising to a maximum of 3 per over.
