		The other problem with the one-day game is its regimented three-act structure described earlier, and fielding restrictions during the first 15 overs seem to be at the root of the problem.
		The restrictions were initially designed to promote run scoring in the early overs, which may otherwise have become too loaded in favor of bowlers with the new ball.
		The manner of the spread will be two-level – fielding captain’s discretion, and the limiting rule that the first three overs of every bowler’s quota be bowled with the fielding restrictions in place.

		if the batting team were allowed to decide the 15 over fielding restrictions, then most of the batting teams would go for overs 35-50 so as to accelerate the scoring in the end and this would further kill bowlers.
		if the fielding restrictions come over during this period, teams could make 160-180 in the last 15 with wickets in hand getting to scores like 350 in their full 50 overs making the going even more tough for us fast bowlers.
		many cricketing experts are saying that the average score could be around 350 in a few years time, but the youngsters seem to have more sense as there were very less 270+ scores witnessed in the recent u-19 world cup and no team was able to chase a 260+ score.

		Crowe said the key was to change the rules on fielding restrictions, which are now in place for the first 15 overs when only two players are allowed outside the 30m circle.
		Under Crowe's plan, the restrictions would increase to 20 overs but the fielding captain would choose four blocks of five overs when they would apply - two blocks in each 25-over half of the innings.
		Crowe said the 15-over fielding restriction was a key innovation more than 20 years ago, but the time had come for something different.
