Would ftr.
The Champions Trophy did use two new balls per innings though..No I am not aware. I have not been following much of cricket played by other countries. Who used it first? I would love to see this rule in English condition. I don't think India would have won champions trophy with this rule in English condition.
this is why I like the rule.Either bring in a genuine spinner who can turn the ball or bring in fast bowling all rounders.
its been going on for yearsBenchmark00's original material
Look, I think we can do better than this, I've done my best...
zip it ****lol.
That really remains to be seen. During the champion's trophy they were in truly spectacular form. The rule alone doesn't win matches.No I am not aware.

This rule is more damaging tbh, but at the same time, the 2 new balls rule creates a kind of imbalance, because outside SC, on seaming wickets, the openers have the challenge of facing a new ball from each end. It makes it extremely difficult for the openers, and after the 15-20 overs, it will be comparatively easier since there will be hardly any turn for spinners and the pace bowlers will not be as dangerous after the ball is a bit older.Only allowing four instead of five outside the circle is the real impact. It's so hard to defend with only four, it leaves absolutely no margin for error now.
Back when it was five, you'd set the field for where you want the batsmen to hit, but you'd also throw a fielder on the other side just as a back up if the bowler doesn't get it right or the batsman improvises. Can't do that now, so when this bowler misses his zone (which we've seen heaps of this series) the batsman cashes in a much larger percentage of time.
That was still fine.Well it's either introduce a replacement ball at the 34th over mark (the old rule) or this one (two new balls), unless someone creates a white ball that actually keeps it's colour for 50 overs (now that the HSC is basically over Dermo can do it)
but people please, let's join together and attack over restrictions for bowlers.
