Re: split innings balances changing conditions

you are wrong each team will not get the almost equal conditions...duck worth will be even more confusing. previously it caused only confusion now there will be chaos.
1. Suppose Team A bats first and scores 125/4 in the first 20 overs and Team B scores 137/5 in their first 20 overs, will Team A resume from 125/4 and the batsmen add to the first innings score or would the second innings score be freshly computed and not added to the first innings score? hope its added to the first innings score because it gives players the chance to score hundreds.
This format might work. Now that people like T20's, this format will be 4 T20's put together (also it will be a one day test match where you have 4 innings). It will drastically reduce the importance of the toss from the match (since both teams will have a slice of the pie as far as the best batting conditions go and both will have to face the challenging batting conditions)

Hi, the policy is almost like a test match played in one day like a T20. So if Team A bats first and scores 125/4 and Team B scores 137/5, in the second innings Team B has a lead of 12 runs, and the batting starts all over again.
its a good change. but does the team batting first continue from where they left the score, then it vl b very interesting. as other teams cant judge how much the opponent is going to survive. there is some uncertainty factor which vl add interest in otherwise boring one sided affairs.
It is the best solotion. Otherwise the charm of one day international will vanish because of T20 format. It is called Mini Test Match and players will get the chance to prove their worth, in the event of failure in the first outing.
