In my view, conventional cricket is the best
form of cricket. But it is not the way in which cricket is played these days. Batsmen
just focus on slogging rather than accumulating runs, playing proper cricket
shots. The core quality of cricket is being ruined by the unconventional play.
With new rules like the introduction of the two new balls, just four fielders
being allowed outside the thirty yard circle, it has become much easier for the
batsmen to score runs. The elegant stroke play is not there anymore. For
instance, during the recently completed world cup, the monstrous 400 mark
passed twice. This world cup was a nightmare for the bowlers. So what I suggest
is that the ICC should rethink their strategies on new cricket rules and focus
more on protecting the beauty of cricket.
