In the forthcomimg ODI series in India the newly created rules for this format will be in force. From memory they include:
A new ball at each end.
Power plays 2 and 3 can only be taken between overs 15 and 40.
Excessive backing up by the the non striking batsmen is to be discouraged.
I believe that the fielding restrictions have also been modified but can't remember the details.
It will be interesting to see how this will change the tactics of teams. A new ball at each end may well mean medium pace bowlers will be more effective than spin.
India v England, new rules apply.

So from potentially losing out there, we're now going to get hammered, and then have a list of great excuses with all these changes!
Exactly what we didnt need!

probably the most sensible on here, i appreciate that,
i still dont understand how could all the sub continent teams have agrred on this , it takes out reverse swing and spin off the game , what a bloody way to cheat asian block.
i think this makes 400 a gettable target on indian pitches and bhajji and ashwin can bowl with new ball as they r used to it , but i feel for fast bowlers on indian pitches . i dis agree with these changes

How do you mean Phil?
"A new ball at each end."
What? So you are using two balls per side?

we have our best bowler missing, we dont have a good record out there as it is, so i can see the excuses already lined up.

Finally found the correct OP.
Gentlemen, this OP is about what difference if any these rule changes will have on this series, not who will win.
There are other articles going for that nonsense.

I wonder who will be the first sneaky bowler to run out a non striking batsman?
Will this become a skill that all bowlers will practice?
