He's gorgeous to watch when he's just batting naturally and not bastardising his play for scoring rate purposes.

yeah.....this 2 new balls and fielding restrictions are just killing the game. The worst part is probably the small boundaries. I hate it when mis-hits are going for 6. The batsman is being rewarded for bad batting. Also as you mention that reverse swing goes out of the equation which hurts the bowlers quite a lot in the death overs. And while some people on this forum might crib that new bats having nothing to do with the high scoring, it definitely is a factor

That instance requires a batsmen to play a bad shot as well tbf, so it's not exactly similar.

Agree that the fielder limitations and two new ball rules suck. ICC keeps ****ing up with the rules to apparently save ODI cricket. All the rule changes do nothing to achieve that. We need more multi national tournaments to give some context / meaning to the games.

The two new balls rule is fine. It's just that it works well everywhere except the sub continent.

I dunno why spin bowlers should struggle with 2 new balls. Getting bounce is not a bad thing unless you rely on low bounce and making the batsmen force their to get your wickets which is frankly a boring way to take wickets.
They just need to adjust away from the bore-batsmen-to-death strategy. Endless left arm spinners aiming for the pads might finally end.

Agreed, in SC condition 2 new balls mean that the scoring will not become difficult once the ball gets old due to slowness of pitch. This lead to targets of 300 on a good SC wicket raised to 350. It will be interesting to see how this rule plays in seamer friendly condition. It will play exactly opposite to how it is in SC.
Everyone blames Indian bowling attack for failure but it is actually the inability to adapt to the new rules is what causing the failure. Time to bring in fast bowling all rounders. We cannot survive this way with slow bowlers anymore. Either bring in a genuine spinner who can turn the ball or bring in fast bowling all rounders.

Yeah but you're aware this isn't the first series where two new balls has been used right?
