To combat the poor crowds and low scores in the new T20 Bash, the England and Wales Cricket Board has formulated an emergency six-point plan to make the competition more attractive and exciting:-
1. Games to be played with a seamless ball to prevent any chance of movement disconcerting the batsmen.
2. Any delivery the batsman doesn't hit - including those that disturb the stumps - to be called wide.
3. No fielders allowed outside the circle at any time.
4. All games to be played on drop-in pitches in soccer stadiums thus creating invitingly short boundaries and bringing the crowds 'closer to the action'.
5. Games to be played at 3am to attract the post-clubbing crowd after all other bars have closed.
6. Twenty-overs-a-side format to be reduced to ten to ensure all matches in the T10 Bigger Bash are over before dawn.
This plan is in response to popular demand, based on a focus group of two people out of their heads on ecstasy at the Ministry of Sound last night.
