I'd definitely agree with you there on both counts.

As an occasional spectacle, sure, but the game seems to be becoming increasingly lop-sided and I think some effort needs to be made to restore some parity between bat and ball. Another perfect example of this is the Womens Tri-Series taking place in England currently. First the NZ Women beat the world T20 high score and then the very same day England's women did it again, scoring 250 in a Twenty Over game, a run rate of over 2 runs per ball.

I've no problem wiht England drubbing the Aussies at all, in fact I rather enjoy it but I do want to see a contest. I should also point out that the Aussies must take a lot of credit because they didn't give up during the game. They kept trying to the last and that's to their credit. They didn't lose the game they were resoundingly beaten.
