I’m hearing this a lot lately but I really don’t remember much reverse swing happening in the one-ball ODI era. As I remember it the extra new ball was introduced to make things easier for the bowlers? Have I got that wrong?
idk but bowlers do believe that

It definitely makes it less likely that you'll see reverse iml.

Has also kinda killed the part time spinner apart from a new anomalies. That may not necessarily be a bad thing I guess.

I thought they just wanted to make the game more casual friendly( read batting friendly). 2 new ball killed reverse swing which drastically reduced the effectiveness of pace bowling.
But made it more productive for pacers in the beginning of the innings.

Meanwhile it's seriously been detrimental to spin bowling in particular as they have suffered a great deal having to bowl with relatively new balls.

Was mostly introduced cos the white ball was getting discoloured And hard to see IIRC.

This is great batting. Nothing in it for the bowlers atm. This'll turn into a close game if these two can stay in fir an hour. Runs aren't going to be hard work in these overs.
