The proposed split innings one-day cricket format will become official if the Cricket Australia board approves the concept at a meeting today.

The idea came about to try and revitalise one-day cricket but the new format was confusing for both players and supporters at a trial game played between state sides South Australia and Tasmania over the weekend.

The decision to change the format is also being criticised because this season leads into the World Cup in February, which will be played with the traditional 50-over-per-side format. .

Doesn't make sense to go down this route barring financial reasons.

World Cup preparation is always necessary. Playing a completely different format will not help the Aussies. They always rely on their preparedness to carry them through world cups and other major ICC events. They are good players but even better preparers.

Should be interesting to see how it works out, though. Probably is an entertaining display of cricket.

Most of the World cup squad will probably not participate in the domestic competition anyway before the world cup, so it shouldn't really affect preparations. As always, would be interesting to see the innovation tried out.

Split innings actually sounds like a good idea. It will take win toss-bat-win game, the constant ODI cycle out of equation and both teams will get to bat under light.

A much better idea, as always, is to combine tests and limited overs into one format. If you want to do two innings, why cramp them as two T20s?

How exactly? Put limits on the number of overs in an innings?

Yep. Most tests finish inside 4 days anyways, and if you play them day/night, you can fit 350+ overs in 3 to 4 days. So, a 3- or 4-day test with limited overs per innings, and a result must be forced. No bowling quotas.

You'll also see the flat pitches disappear under this setup.

what is this split innings ODI?

[Friend786]

this idea suckz !

[Fish]

what is this split innings ODI?

It has been approved by CA, each team has 12 players and bat first for 20 overs followed by 20 overs from the other team then they both play 25 overs in the second dig. Bowlers can bowl 12 overs and any 11 of the 12 can bat. i.e. Asif can bowl but someone else bat.
No power plays but there will be fielding restrictions.

sounds good.

This new innovation will make cricket interesting as we are already getting bored from the Present 50/50 Overs format.

sounds good.one thing I would like to see is to award one over more for eery wicket a bowler takes,this will make them more attacking

[LegendsXI]

its an abomination. Nothing less. After tests, odiz are the only thing that resemble real cricket.

No point changing format if World cup is going to be played in a different Format!

I thought power plays = fielding restrictions?

Cricket Australia Approves it

This will be good for Pakistan as Pakistan is only good in T20 and it will be 2 T20 innings.

So was this format successful for cricket Australia or not?

[Strike!]

They scrapped it one season later. :))

[Blade]

If I remember correctly Tendu wanted this to replace ODIs. I think he is going to have second thoughts now that Sehwag scored 219 to break his record :))

[Tapori]

^ With or without DRS?

dont understand the connect there.:13:

[Blade]

dont understand the connect there.:13:

Oh right. No probs, I'll try to explain. Well, basically the connection was that the thread was about this split innings ODI. And tenulkar wanted to replace normal ODIs with this split innings ODI, which was the subject of the thread. Hope you understand a little better now :zaka

[Tapori]

For the love of cricket, please God no, let this die a horrible death!

2 innings?

The bowlers have a tough time as it is, what with the appalling obligatory ball change during the 30-40 over period, now shabbily re-balanced with the "Two-balls from the start" per match scenario.

Again, it's a format which looks like it was dreamt up and devised by the MBA Graduates and Marketing execs in Asutrailia and India (Yeah I said it Indians; Love the Economic growth but you're paying for it with the sewerage pumped out onto your gleaming new Plasma screens, with everything in sight branded in some form or another... It's Eddie Bernays on steroids...)

When "Soccer" appeared on a global platform for the 94 World Cup in the U.S, many advertising execs and Tv Execs along with Marketing peoples remarked:

"90 minutes? 45 Minutes each half?

Can't they make it 4 quarters instead? and get rid of Draws?"

2 innings in a ODI, is a mental concept which belongs on those brainstorm-WhiteBoards from which it should have been erased in the first place...

not that,whats the connection of previously his,now Sehwag's record with it?

I think you know :asif take a guess :akhtar

No? okay :misbah

When Tendu had the record, he wanted to scrap ODI's and replace it with this split inning ODI to preserve his record and make it impossible for anyone to break it.

But ofcourse this is just my opinion and I could be totally wrong :razzaq

how would split innings make it impossible?its still 10 wickets for 50 overs.a batsman can bat 50 overs if he has his day

n btw,Sachin suggested this in 2009, the record was made in 2010
