Tied Superover Rule Change

[loterry1994]

Just declare it a tie and split points. In knockout, use league round ranking to decide winner. That's it.

Super overs should be wiped from the face of the earth.

Nah that’s just disappointing as hell for every fan watching. That’s like the biggest anti climax you can have for a knockout match. I mean super overs arent an ideal way to decide it after 50 overs of grind. But least we get a fair result. That 2019 super over rule was dumb as hell but.

Your idea doesn’t work also if games for example get rained out and teams earn more points and finish higher in the group stages when they played more

I do agree that this six balls "super over" to win an important game seems to reduce it to a lottery


reward the team that played the best, most positive cricket, take the fewest wickets lost/most taken, over rates, NRR maybe (conditions same in theory for both sides in each game although I'd park it as not all pitches are the same so one side might play on a belter of a pitch giving their NRR a boost)

I've long since felt NRR probably ought to be replaced with something more reflecting differing pitches, convert margins to wickets so simple enough if eg kiwis beat England's total with nine wickets in hand, only slightly more complicated if win batting first


England 282/9 vs New Zealand 283/1 - New Zealand win by 9 wickets
Pakistan 286/10 vs Holland 205/10 - Pakistan won by 4 wickets*

*take the number of wickets lost when Pakistan/side batting first reached/passed the chasing side's final total, so Pakistan were 206/6

what this does is convert all results to a level playing field, how many runs are scored is too dependant on the pitch. Also puts the dutch effort into perspective more than 81 runs does, was a lot tighter than Pakistan would have liked.

And in the whalloping South Africa dished out their margin would have been 7 wickets

The issue with that is if you used that at the 2019 World Cup. You had teams with rained out matches and reduced overs matches and then some teams got to play more matches than others . That doesn’t make it fair at all.
