That idea has merit @ead!

I think it's tricky - one the one hand 'What are they doing to my beloved game!' - especially when most other sports have not changed nearly so radically so quickly. But then - if the 4-day game and Tests don't earn the money - and we (quite rightly) want Cricket on free-to-air format, where will the money come from?

I still think ODI is pyjama cricket, so my prehistoric opinion does come with that proviso.

I rather think we already have changed the rules of cricket to make it more interesting. Frequently.

5-day game, 3-day game, 1-day game, 20-20 matches, etc. Not to mention the Biggles-Cholmondely scoring system for the rare occurrence of rain in these drought-ridden isles.

I'm glad they removed the Offside Rule though ...

It’s been very slow and dull day, but it hasn’t been boring. It’s been a good, entertaining day’s cricket.
