[QUOTE="Hazey, post: 120860"] The free hit rule after a front-foot no-ball already exists in England, and works pretty well. The issue about the batting team deciding when to take the power play was under discussion all of the last year, and is still on a 'trail' period, which is why we didn't see it at the world cup (not that it mattered when Lara is taking the last power play in the 44th over... :wacko: ). As for the change of ball, it could be helpful or deprimental to both sides - it'll mean the end of any kind of real reverse swing for the bolwing side, helping the batsman, but then on a day when there is no swing, on a flat-ish pitch, a new ball will help put some pace back into the game, thus helping (usually) the bowlers.
