This news item on latest ICC cricket committee meeting suggests ICC have decided to persevere with the Power Play . This just means only one thing - it is likely to be used at the next World Cup .
I personally never liked the Power Play idea because it makes ODIs which are already in favour of batsman, even more in batsmans favour with a further 5 overs of field restrictions to smash another 50 odd runs . It also makes run chases even more difficult and thus gives the Team winning the toss a huge advantage .
What does everyone else on CW think ?
