What parts of the game would you like to see return to modern cricket?

[honestbharani]

Also bring back uniform kits for all teams at multi-nation tournaments.

This would be so cool

Just bring back cricket the way it was before T20 came along , money ruined the sport. Now most players would rather choose a T20 franchise than represent their country.

Nah it started getting ruined in the 2000s with the glut of meaningless ODIs

1.Pakistan vs India test series
2.ODI Tri-Series
3.Helmets being optional to wear
4.Old white ball for reverse swing in odi cricket
5.Tour matches for preparation ahead of Test series

Yes

 

[OverratedSanity]

Two new balls was one of the worst things to happen to ODIs for sure. Dreadful change.

Is there a law mandating helmets these days?

I’d like more tri-series and ROW games (maybe against the WC and WTC champs)

Only if we can get the players to take it seriously.

 

[Yeoman]

Small bat sizes in tests?

Yes, a maximum depth of bats in all forms to prevent mis hits going for 6.

 

[nightprowler10]

Yeah, not a fan of the choreographed/ultra-pumped up celebrations. I like the old-timers in black and white reels who'd just stop dead in their follow-through after a successful appeal, roll up the sleeve on their bowling arm and casually stroll towards their teammates.

There was some karmic justice watching Hasan Ali get injured doing his celebration.

Haha thats awesome. I’m always nervous about it these days in League as well, just waiting for a player to try and jump on top and flip over and conk his head.

 

[ma1978]

Pakistan being an acceptable cricketing team

Tour matches

Five test series consistently

[Coronis]

West Indies being an acceptable cricketing team

 

[Qlder]

Bring back 1970's bats where you had to actually middle the ball to go for 4. Now you get 6's off any edge

 

[Nintendo]

Two new balls aren't the issue, bats are. Much rather watch two new balls with older bats than 20 overs of junk part time spinners bowling darts with a chew toy of a 30 over old ball.

 

[Silver Silva]

Oh yes nearly forgot ..

All Test teams must automatically qualify for ICC events , we already small in number as it is.

 

[Adders]

The WTC final should be made a timeless test

Plus the occasional something something timeless test.

You blokes really need to give this some more thought. Apart from being logistically impossible it's just an allround terrible idea.

 

[shortpitched713]

I think I’ve said this before but more normal gloves for the keepers.

Don’t like this get out of jail free ball holder between thumb and forefinger.

What are the rules on how tightly this is currently being regulated? Keepers would bring a net out, if the could, trust.
