This form of the game is too distilled. It is big hitting and high excitement with reduced finesse and tactics.
apigee, a better way to API!

I really love watching a bowler dominating a game. Now instead bowling to get rid off the batsmen, bowlers are just content with minimizing runs scored.

Currently I have the same feeling as that of DOM, but I think we all will get used to this format once we see it more often.
But deciding the result based on bowl outs? That's horrible! Why not devise a better way?
For example:
Both the teams will play another 3 overs each, but instead of 10 wickets, there will a maximum of 2 wickets for each team.
Or, what about throwing in some "double wicket cricket" (remember?) rules here. Both team will send 2 batsman, who should bat for 2 overs. For every wicket they lose, there will be a reduction in the number of runs they have scored.
Any more recommendations?

Hi,
Deciding a game on a bowl out is stupid.How about starting the game again by providing extra 5 overs.

Indian bowlers need to bowl well though....

Well, this is fine. But I think it would be nice to also have a competition for people with less-than-perfect vision.

think of it.
Earlier, a team may win or lose or draw. Chances of draw in test is much higher than winning or losing.
If one team is losing, other team allows first team to play again(follow on).
So it was just for pleasure, team would play for five days and then happily go home.
But now, specially 20-20, IMO, is not cricket.
You dont remove goalie from football to have more goals and to make match exciting.
