5 Changes that can help reinvigorate ODI cricket

2. 12 overs for two bowlers:

Currently, ODIs are unduly and heavily favoured towards batsmen. Pitches are routinely flat and batsmen have a field day as they milk bowlers through the day with relative ease. On those rare occasions where a bowler gets going, finds a rhythm and has batsmen hopping on his toes, he is restricted after a point. Why? Because he can only bowl 10 overs. This rule really needs to be changed and reconsidered immediately. The two best bowlers from the team should be allowed by his captain to bowl at least 12 overs. This would provide more balance to the game and is also likely to produce more excitement in several nail-biting encounters; batsmen won’t be able to merely ‘see off’ the best bowlers of the opposition side then.
