You know , 4 innings of 25 overs each , where teams alternate batting and fielding. The team batting first continues batting in the 3rd innings( not a fresh start ).....
Advantages of such a system:
(1) does not alter the basic character of ODI cricket too much .
(2) reduces the "toss factor" ...both teams get to bat under floodlights , dew factor disadvantage is somewhat lessened.
(3) D-L application would be easier and more fair .....( we wont have one team batting 50 overs and the other having just 25 overs )
(4)We could have fielding restrictions applied in two parts.....7 overs in each innings......That means more middle order batsmen will get to bat in the fielding restricted overs....
