New ICC ODI rules-An act of stupidity


The all new rules which allows only 4 players outside the circle in non power play overs is a total stupid thing according to me. The bowlers are totally at the mercy of batsmen and they need to constantly reinvent themselves and change the field placings accordingly. We can always expect a 300+ score and we don’t know which is a safe total. Only when the batsmen make mistake the game can come alive or else there is no interest in the match.I see people telling with pride about India’s successive 300+ scores but they escaped despite spirited chase by the opponents due to some good fielding efforts. The rule change is primarily to break the record books where Sachin records will be under threat on going forward. I lost interest to see the game and feel sorry for the Indian bowlers.
