8 runs for 85-metre six? Things that could change the dynamics of IPL & International cricket

More bouncers, please!

The boundaries are short, pitches are flat, many batsmen are always on 360-degree mode armed with modified bats, the wide line to belongs to the umpire, free hits on offer, helmets on, thigh pads, inner thigh guards and what not? The game is loaded in favour of the batsmen. And the ball is still the same old five and a half ounce.

Bowlers can't bowl more than one bouncer in T20s and two in ODIs. Batsmen know there can't be more than that and the umpires are stringent on those calls. How about increasing the bouncer count per over? Won't that make things a bit better for quick bowlers? Not all can be as crafty as Bhuvneshwar Kumar in executing the knuckleball.

The bowler can slip in that extra bouncer and a few wide Yorkers and can hope to get away, at least just hope.
