What do you think of this new rule of declaring the winners if the match ties?

Question

The bowl-out has been used in two Twenty20 international games so far, but those could well be the only instances of its implementation in an international match. In the ICC Annual Conference which starts in Dubai on Sunday, the Chief Executives' Committee will discuss the possibility of replacing the bowl-out with a one-over eliminator in the case of a tied game.

Under the rules for the new tie-breaker, each team will nominate three batsmen and one bowler. Each side bats one over, with the innings being declared closed if it loses two wickets. If the teams finish tied on runs scored in that one over, the side with the higher number of sixes in its full innings and in the one-over eliminator will be declared the winner. If the teams are still tied, the one with the higher number of fours in both innings will win.

This tie-breaker has already been introduced in the ongoing Asia Cup in Pakistan, and will come into play if the final of the tournament ends in a tie. If approved, it will also be applicable in the semi-finals and final of the Champions Trophy later this year and the World Twenty20 in England next year.

Answer 1

i would say stick to the bowl out

Answer 2

i think it is totally an unfair method.............................it should just be declared a draw.................................but the ICC is doing it for money .........as its is interesting to see

Answer 3

This  sounds like a load of c**p to me, why the heck cant they be satisfied with the draw? Always fiddling with tradition over there!

Answer 4

Sounds rather complicated to me. The bowl out is effective enough, I don't see why they have to change it.

Answer 5

This one sounds interesting & exciting but bowl out,hmmmm.. its still better.Let the bowl out remain.that would be fun.

Answer 6

I strongly feel that rather that adopting new complicated procedure, they should stick to the simple method of bowl out.

Answer 7

crock a $hite mate,wot next?

Answer 8

i feel its better than bowl out for one days.

but for 20-20 bowl out adds to excitement.

Answer 9

Surely they could come up with some convoluted, complicated mathematical equation to decide the winner instead!

Sounds like they are trying to turn cricket into football: this new idea sounds like "extra time". What if it is still a tie after the extra over? Will they then go back to bowling at stumps?

Answer 10

Why do the ICC have to over-complicate things??

Stick with the bowl-out, 5 balls who ever hits the stumps the most times wins! SIMPLE!

Answer 11

Bowl out, keep it

Answer 12

I think in course time an 'O1' game will evolve..

would be interesting and time saving..
