Imagine 30 overs on drop in flat phattas.

A par score would be 240?

Shorter game. Would last 5 hours.
 
Please no.

No, no no.... please. Haven't they already destroyed enough cricket already? If you want to make it any shorter, just play baseball. It's too batting orientated anyway.

Test cricket is the only enjoyable form of real sport, ODI is not bad, and T20 is garbage entertainment and slogging, for mass consumption. Only meatnecks, short boundaries, and dead pitches.
 
This mentality of short form of intense entertainment has got the worse of cricket, no kid in the block is interested in test cricket anymore. :(
 
Then why play ODI?Just play tonty tonty all year round

Its 10 extra overs.

If you see most teams go at 6rpo in the first 20 overs and then for the remaining 30 accelerate to 8rpo.

We would get 30 overs of 8rpo cricket.

If you want to make it a level playing field for bowlers, there should be 12 man teams.
 
This lack of patience, penchant for quickies & quick fix solutions is ruining life - sports & food included.
 
How about we just had 11 batsmen in the team and used bowling machines instead of human bowlers ?
No one wants to be a bowler influenced by current form of cricket . If this trend continues bowling will be a lost art very soon.

Thanks to those Jerks in ICC who have already ruined the game enough, the low scoring games are usually very exhilarating why ? Because each team fights till last breath, bowlers get their equal fair share and not just getting hammered by those bloated bats we have today.

Short boundaries more power plays, deliberate perpetration for dead tracks is the reason why we don't see Bowlers like Wasim,Waqar, Shoaib, Imran Khan, Glen Mcgrath, Marshal, and Bretlee.

If there will be no good match between Bowl and Bat, the very purpose of this game will be dead.

50 over match takes 7 hour what difference it will make by saving 2 hours we already have 20-20 match more short time entertainment . it will just killed the cricket .
