Play ODIs only on bowler-friendly pitches

Live Mint  

The lasting memories from the Champions Trophy will involve Pakistan, who scripted one of those ridiculously implausible sporting melodramas that only they seem capable of. Before Pakistan turned the spotlight on themselves, the Champions Trophy was turning into their ultimate nightmare—the tournament that finally convinced everyone that the One Day International format was broken beyond repair. What this Champions Trophy also showed us—largely thanks to Pakistan, again—was that One Day cricket can be very exciting when bowlers are on top. T20 cricket provides fans with an overdose of boundaries and sixes anyway, so One Dayers can finally shed the burden of being the “entertaining” format. Instead of being a slower, more boring version of a T20 game, we can turn ODIs back to a bite-sized version of Test cricket—a format most fans want to love but just don’t have the time to.
