Guest Sima Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Have the ICC regulations regarding powerplays been implemented into the Totesport league. Just wondering if they have managed to combat the "lull" in county games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 2 Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 No idea. I hope they don't introduce the ridiculous subs rule though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sima Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 (edited) Introduce the sub rule by all means but name your sub after the toss. Edited September 5, 2005 by Sima Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheMan 0 Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Nope, it hasn't been. Still usual rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 2 Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Introduce the sub rule by all means but name your sub after the toss. 28810[/snapback] Nah man it's balls. One of the challenges of cricket is picking a balenced side. The subs rule is the first step on a slippery slope towards seperate bowling and batting teams.

Guest Sima Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 meh possibly. ODI's and 20/20 as a rule are guff anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could pick a batmsan as your sub, intending to bowl first, but you end up losing the toss and bat second, making it a bit pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 meh possibly. ODI's and 20/20 as a rule are guff anyway. 28847[/snapback] I'm not a big fan of 20/20 but I think a close ODI/One-Day match is brilliant. Also, I think that one-day cricket has improved test cricket with the fast scoring games you now see usually (weather permitting) ending in a result. Test cricket is still the real thing though.

Guest Sima Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 True that ODI's have speeded up and improved the test game. At least with a test it's a constant flow. OD games have a 25 over lull from 16-40 that needs to be addressed. They tried doing it with powerplays but that hasn't been entirely successful.

Gemmill 44891 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 You can get 11/5 for England to win the test this weekend. Aussies are favourites at 6-4 with 6-4 for the draw too. Looks a decent enough bet on England really considering how things have gone so far, although there is some rain forecast for Friday and Saturday.
