(Sub)Way to go...

The ICC's Cricket Committee has put forth numerous recommendations to make the format of the ODI game more "interesting". One of those is that of "soccer-style substitutions".

The CC also recommended the introduction of soccer-style substitutes for international cricket wherein a player could be replaced at any stage of a match but would then be ruled out for the remainder of the match. Both the substitute and the substituted player would receive a cap and the replacement could happen at any stage of the match, including during a batting innings.

That's great news for Sourav Ganguly... he doesn't need to undergo that merciless torture of having to go out to bat and make runs! He can sit calmly in the dressing room and send out a sub. Nice.
