What ODIs need is a 2-innings format !!

Re: What ODIs need is a 2-innings format !!

Now thats just a silly idea. Every sport is prone to upsets. That is what makes it exciting. If you knew who was going to win before hand than what is the point of even watching? And whose to say we should stop at 2 innings? Why not make it 10 innings or more?

Twenty20 is the future of the sport and for good reason too. Cricket needs to be shortened in order to expand. Making the game even longer is not going to help either financially or the quality of the game. I'm sure when Kerry Packer created one days everyone was freaking out and saying how a limited overs affair will screw up the sport, when in fact it hasn't. I still think they should play Test Matches as well. Ditching ODI's would be a good idea as Twenty20 will make it obsolete.

Twenty20 can work only if there are bigger grounds and seaming wickets so the bowling isn't the equivalent of batting practice.
