After following One day cricket series with Australia i got a feel that the game is no more supportive for bowlers. Making 300 runs is a normal affair with hardly any great bowling performances recorded. A game that was known to offer wholesome entertainment through batting, bowling and fielding slowly become a hitting game like base ball. The advent of T20 is one more reason to look for quick runs in terms of sixes and fours, you cannot waste time by running singles and twos.
Every bowler from both teams struggled on the dead pitches that offered nothing to them, Indian bowling that already looked weak was plundered by Aussies big guns. If luck favored India could have made the series tight. Many countries are inclined towards creating batting pitches. It is very hard to find pitches that offer level playing field to both batsmen and bowler. If hard hitting becomes criteria then bowlers will loose their value.
Can we expect some new rules and regulations by respective cricket associations to up keep the value of one days and test matches...
