Changes to the game

The ICC's Cricket Committee, headed by serial rule fiddler Sunil Gavaskar, has suggested some changes to the way in which cricket is played. Amongst a host of boring new regulations governing the colour of bats, Sunny is also suggesting that substitutions be allowed in one day cricket and that fielding captains be allowed to choose when to impose some of the fielding restrictions. And perhaps the most controversial of the former India captain's suggestions is that umpires be allowed to ask for television replay assistance to help in any decision (including lbws presumably).
