Let's admit our mistake !!

[Frodo]

The two allrounder rule, introduced this year has proven bad for the competetion. It creates too many declararations, many of which unfairly affect the result, and also is causing lack of interest by some players......one calling the competition boring.

The reason is simple. The rule strengthens batting line ups and weakens bowling attacks. That has to mean more declarations and draws.

A few random statistics that teams have won on bowling pitches and that playing 5 bowlers increases the bowling attack the fact is that the sim works best with 4 bowlers and also can't realistically simulate declarations (although the auto declaration can be disabled and capatains can call it).

IMHO we should do one of two things NOW.

Scrap the rule or make tests go 6 days. Either will reduce declarations considerably.

Scrap the two all rounder rule in the tests, I thought it would add more freedom for the captains but it has made team selection too predictable. 6 pure bats, 1 keeper, 2 all rounders and 2 bowlers...... That's all you have to pick anymore.... Bring back the 1 rule for tests and keep two for the one dayers for the rest of the year perhaps....

 

[Moo]

No rule changes mid season.

Try taking a poor pitch every now and then.

 

[boncer34]

I agree for the love of god scrap this stupid 2 AR rule.

See WIM v Gumbies round 7 game...

Get rid of the allrounder rule asap.

WIM played 1 bowler. That's just childish.

I'm sure nana will give you some tissues.

Or maybe YOTC?

Its not a whinge, but the fact us with 2 allrounders your ability to do new things is limited. On a bowlers deck you can either play 2 or one bowlers...

Yeah, I know I actually agree.

I remember asking Dipper how introducing the 2 all rounder rule would mean more formations could be made. He still hasnt answered me.

Just a dumb idea. Its the fact they bat too slow. A-Mac got 20 off 120 balls on a batting deck. How realistic is that? Cost a result occuring.

Change it at the half way point of the season, then no one is disadvantaged.

 

[CrazyQ]

I agree with Moo.

End of season.

 

[Ricketts]

Look who's whinging now.

you've lost me.

 

[CrazyQ]

you've lost me.

Wasnt that hard, was it CC?

 

[Ricketts]

Leave me alone, all of you.

 

[CrazyQ]

No shyte Ricketts, you've changed.

Remind me more of parrot each day...

 

[Ricketts]

I'll take that as a compliment.

 

[CrazyQ]

Whatever dude.

 

[Cassius_Clay]

I'll take that as a compliment.

I would too.

Parrot's a gun poster.

 

[Leg_Spinning_Sensation]

Abolish it or more people will start becoming disgruntled and leaving. We've already lost Dice Man, he was a decent sort to have round the comp. Then once it's abolished allow maximum 2 all rounders (if teams have 3 to 4 all rounders) to change player type.

 

[Ljp86]

The two all-rounder rule is sh*t.

 

[Andrew Mc]

Just a dumb idea. Its the fact they bat too slow. A-Mac got 20 off 120 balls on a batting deck. How realistic is that? Cost a result occuring.

You mean I'm supposed to score quickly? Why didn't you say so!

 

[Jaymin]

I thought this thread was about CC being named captain...

End of season...

We are not the AFL.

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

change it now if the majority of people dont like it.
