导出博客文章On July 5, 2015, ICCs new ODI rules kicked in. The changes were largely to
brought in to offer some succor to the bowlers, who, in the words of Dave
Richardson, the ICC chief executive, had been on a hiding to nothing with the
earlier rules, which allowed only four fielders outside the circle in the last
ten, and also had a batting Powerplay which was usually taken between the 36th
and the 40th. Under the new rules, the batting Powerplay was done away with,
while an extra fielder was allowed outside the circle in the last ten. Also,
there was no compulsion to have two catching fielders within the first ten.Since
those rules kicked in, 113 ODIs have been played, which is a reasonable number
to check whether those new rules have had the desired effect on the scoring
rates and helped bowlers a little bit. The most recent evidence would suggest
not, given that England made the highest ODI total a couple of days back at
Trent Bridge against Pakistan, but a longer term view suggests little difference
in the overall numbers.In its latest avatar, the average ODI has witnessed a run
rate of 5.33, which is almost exactly the same as the rate when the earlier
rules were in force between October 30, 2012 and July 4, 2015. The scoring rate
increased dramatically in the first six months of 2015, rising to 5.67 from 5.29
in 2014. Those six months included the 2015 World Cup, where the scoring rate
was 5.65, and the New Zealand tour to England, where the rate across five
matches was an astronomical 7.15. Between October 30, 2012 and December 2014,
the overall run rate was only 5.25. When splitting the numbers by teams batting
first and second, the distribution is very even over the last 14 months. The
teams batting first and chasing have won exactly 54 games each, while the run
rates arent very different either. The numbers are quite similar to those
between January 2014 and July 4, 2015. The bigger difference, as expected, has
been in the last 15 overs. With teams usually opting for the batting Powerplay
between the 36th and the 40th, and only four fielders allowed outside the circle
in the last ten, the last 15 overs had earlier given the batting teams the
licence to hit out freely, knowing that there was minimal risk of being caught
at the boundary. However, with the batting Powerplay being scrapped and an extra
fielder allowed on the boundary in the last ten, the run rates and the
boundary-hitting frequency has dropped significantly.Since July 2015, the run
rate for teams batting first in the last 15 overs has dropped to 6.95 from 7.81
in the earlier period. The balls per boundary has gone up from 6.7 to 8.7, a
change of nearly 30%. With more fielders on the boundary, batsmen have had a few
more opportunities to take twos, but overall the run rates and boundaries have
reduced in the slog overs and bowlers have had more opportunities to have some
control on the game.The difference in the second innings isnt so significant,
though. With a specific target to chase, teams werent so aggressive in the last
15 even when the field restrictions were in place. The earlier fielding
restrictions were tough on bowlers when opposition teams had wickets in hand.
When teams batting first had gone into the last ten overs with five or more
wickets in hand, they scored at 9.62 per over and averaged 56.81 runs per
dismissal. In the last 14 months, those numbers have dropped to 8.78 and 43.58.
In the first 35, the rate has gone up marginally - from 4.72 to 4.83 - but it is
in the last 15 that bowling captains will feel they have more protection and a
better chance to somewhat control proceedings, thanks to the extra fielder
available in the outfield. When England go the way they did at Trent Bridge,
though, even that extra fielder makes absolutely no difference.****Englands
resurgence in ODIs over the last year has been written about before in much
detail, but they have been so good recently that it deserves another mention.
The 444 at Trent Bridge further underscores their transformation from the team
that was such a dismal failure in the 2015 World Cup. Since that tournament,
they have scored 350 or more six times in 28 innings (including two washouts),
and have six other scores between 300 and 349. In 644 previous ODIs, they only
had only two scores in excess of 350.A comparison between their numbers over the
last year, and those between January 2014 and March 2015, shows outstanding
improvements in all aspects, but especially in terms of power-hitting. In the
period between January 2014 and March 2015, England scored a boundary (four or a
six) every 12 balls and scored 40% of their runs in boundaries. They averaged 75
balls per six, which works out to four per 50 overs.Since the World Cup debacle,
the batting line-up has transformed, and so has the boundary-hitting ability.
Their balls per boundary has dropped to eight, percentage of runs in boundaries
has risen to 49, and the balls per six has dropped to 46. All of those factors
have contributed towards a run rate of 6.39, and a win-loss of 16-9, from a
miserable 13-23 in the earlier period. With the batting firepower that they
command at the moment, they would have to be favourites for the Champions Trophy
that they will be hosting next year.* Percentage of total runs in boundaries^

championship would be very important for F1, clarifying widely-reported remarks
he made ahead of the Mexican Grand Prix that a Lewis Hamilton win would be
better for the sport.Ecclestone caused a stir earlier this week when he was
reported as saying a Rosberg title wouldnt necessarily help the sport because
there is nothing to write about him. Rosberg brushed off the criticism on
Thursday during Mexicos media day, saying he had spoken to Ecclestone about the
comments and thought the F1 boss had been misquoted.Ecclestone has often said
Hamilton -- who trails Rosberg by 26 points with three races left -- is F1s most
important driver due to his worldwide appeal. Speaking to Sky Italia on Friday,
his 86th birthday, in the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez paddock Ecclestone said
both men would be beneficial as champion for different reasons.Well I always get
into a lot of trouble because when people sayy to me Who is the best world
champion for publicity? I always say Lewis, Ecclestone said.dddddddddddd He
travels the world and meets all different people, gets on TV everywhere -- hes
super for Formula One. Would it be good to have him as champion? Thats a
definite.But on the other side with Nico, its a new world champion, so weve got
a new world champion in Formula One which is also very, very important. And he
seems to be growing out of his old self, outwardly now hes a lot better.Rosberg
can claim a maiden F1 championship this weekend if Hamilton finishes 10th or
lower as that would put him at least 50 points clear with two races to play for.
Though Hamilton could still score 50 points at the final two races, Rosberg will
win if their points are level due to the greater number of wins hes accumulated
this season. ' ' '
