Change is good.

Or bad. But mostly, change is just change. Anyway, there are some proposed changes to the game. The ICC will decide whether to implement these measures. More and more rules favoring the batsmen. Personally I like the idea of placing 3 fielders outside the circle in 2 powerplays. Also, the batting captain choosing a powerplay sounds exciting. I would think most of the captains would want to block the 45-50 over slot so they have their sloggers in with only 3 fielders outside the ring. With players like Dhoni, Afridi and Symonds on the international scene, we will need some lively bowlers to bowl in the ‘death’ overs.
