NEW DELHI: Concerned through a spate of run fests just lately, Indian cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar has criticised using two new balls in ODIs, announcing it's "a perfect recipe for disaster".

Mostly a reticent commentator, Tendulkar shared his standpoint after observing England batsmen go on a rampage towards Australia in the ultimate two ODIs.
"Having 2 new balls in one day cricket is a perfect recipe for disaster as each ball is not given the time to get old enough to reverse. We haven't seen reverse swing, an integral part of the death overs, for a long time," Tendulkar tweeted from his professional deal with.
England posted a global report 481 for six towards Australia in the third ODI, bettering their very own report of 444 vs Pakistan. In the following ODI, England chased down a goal of 312 within 45 overs.
Tendulkar's view was endorsed through Pakistan's legendary master of reverse swing Waqar Younis.
"Reason why we don't produce many attacking fast bowlers..They all very defensive in their approach...always looking for change ups..totally agree with you @sachin_rt reverse swing is almost vanished," Younis tweeted in reaction Tendulkar.
The ICC had introduced two new balls from two ends after amending it is playing rules again in October 2011.
Interestingly, BCCI was one board that protested the move wondering the diminishing position of spinners due to this new rule tweak.
However, ICC has caught to it in its efforts to make the sport batsman-friendly.
The logic given was the discolouration of the white ball all the way through the top of the innings and batsmen not having the ability to sight it correctly especially in the dusty sub-continental conditions underneath lights.
The present rule signifies that the white kookaburra is bowled for handiest 25 overs from one end.
Therefore when the spinners, who're introduced in the middle overs, are handed the ball, they successfully bowl with a ball that is hardly eight to nine overs outdated.
Even by the time, a spinner finishes his spell, the ball remains to be handiest 20 overs outdated.
Therefore, unlike earlier generation, the ball does not get soft, which would make it tricky for the batsmen to hit in the course of the line like they do in this day and age on the back-end of the innings.
The chance of reverse swing has reduced even additional with using two new balls.
