The legendary leg-spinner, Shane Warne believes that there should be a maximum of five overs for every bowler in T20 cricket and boundaries should be a bit longer. He claimed this will help in improving the T20 format of the game.
Warne has also believes that in a T20 game the pitches should be similar to the fourth day of a Test match pitch which will help the bowler to embrace their performances.
“I would improve T20 cricket by 1. boundaries as big as poss at each venue & on small grounds keep grass on the outfield long, 2. bowlers a max of 5 overs, not four, 3. pitch must day 4 Test match pitch & not be a flat rd as we all want a contest between bat & ball, not just 6’s,” Warne tweeted on Friday.
These comments from Warne came after witnessing a couple of games where teams crossed the mark of 200 runs in this season of Indian Premier League.
On Thursday evening, Mumbai Indians scored 70 plus runs in the last three overs against Kings XI Punjab.
“Batsman are getting better and have been awesome yes – but the bowling really needs to improve at the same rate! The mindset is defence & not attack. Sure these tiny boundaries don’t help – but they can still get better at executing their skills (sic),” tweeted Warne.
