The excitement of the Twenty20 World Cup has begun on Australian soil. The new bowling rule in Twenty20 is pulling the teams. If the over is not completed within the stipulated time, the fielding will be restricted in the subsequent overs.
Also, the team will be fined. The home team is trying some tricks on the field to overcome this. Australia first used the penalty avoidance technique in the England-Australia match that ended just before the World Cup. His teammates were taking over the role of ball boy outside the boundary line.
Time is more likely to be lost when the boundary gives way on the big pitches of Australia. A lot of time is wasted when the fielders come and take the bowl. The Aussie team worked hard to overcome this. According to the new rule, the bowling team has 85 minutes to complete 20 overs. Only four fielders are allowed outside the circle for each ball following 85 minutes.
This will benefit the batting team. Therefore, the players who play the role of ball boys themselves are quick to pick up the balls that cross the boundary line and hand them to the players. ‘In the powerplay, the batters hit the ball to any corner of the ground. A lot of time is lost when the fielders go and fetch the ball. Time management in competition is difficult. So I think we can save 10 seconds by keeping the players on the bench outside the ground here – said Australian all-rounder Ashton Agar.
Other teams in the world are more likely to try this powder.
