THE GAME IS PURELY A BATSMENS AFFAIR AND BOWLERS ARE INCIDENTAL. THEY ALSO TAKE PART. UNLESS THEY CHANGE IT SUCH A WAY THAT THERE IS EQUAL STAKE FOR BOTH THE GAME WILL BEGIN TO LOSE INTEREST. THIS IS WHAT HAPND TO ODIS. THEN THEY WILL MAKE IT 10 A SIDE. INCIDENTALLY THE MOHALI GAME WAS NOT PLAYED TO A FULL HOUSE.
I agree.. The way the batsmen are playing in IPL, a score of 500+ in ODI is no distant dream. Infact a score of 438 has already been scored in 50 overs.
Ravindran,
True, if bowlers are not given any assistance either from the pitch or from the administrators, then ODI will keep loosing viewers.
Nobody would aspire to become a bowler. whom will the selectors choose among these thrashed bowlers? u may not get noticed if u dont score but when u get thrashed...
Ott, Its good to see a high scoring match. But not at the cost of bowlers. Not because the boundaries are shortened or the pitch is dead. If the batsmen play well on a good pitch with proper sized boundaries I guess everyone will enjoy the contest more.
All the pitches shd be like the kolkatta pitch. I like to see the batsmen dancing and jumping , for a change. Just imagine Lee bowling on such a track .He would have populated the hospital.
All pitches must not be like Kolkata. If pitches which are taylored made for batsmen are bad for cricket, so are pitches taylored made for bowlers. The competition should be even. Only then we will be able to enjoy cricket.

Tri,
Do you think the ODI's will be entertaining if the scores reach that level?
the kolkatta match bet k rides and d chargers was very interesting thoug it was a low scoring one.
Ott,
As i said earlier, the ODIs wud be interesting only if there is assistance for the bowlers. If that is the case the score wud never reach 500.
R,
It was interesting. The interruption added to the excitement.
Tri,
So basically as a fan you are not content with big scores?

R,
You are right, the bowlers are to pitied.
