Dhoni on Thursday advocated changes in playing conditions governing one-day games, saying too many boundaries can cause boredom and the 50-over matches should not become like T20 outings.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;It&#39;s my personal opinion, I would like them to change. In the history of cricket we have not seen 200s; in three years&#39; time you see three 200s being scored.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;A lot of people will say there are a lot of dot balls that are getting bowled because of that extra fielders inside. I would say have the option of having them outside, you can keep all 11 inside to stop all the dot deliveries. We have to see,&quot; he said referring to the existing powerplay rules.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;Let&#39;s not make 50-over game like a T20 game because I feel even a lot of sixes and a lot of fours also make it very boring,&quot; Dhoni said in the post-match media meet after his team went down to Australia by 95 runs in the World Cup semi-final.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Dhoni said the real essence of ODI cricket lay in how a side batted in the middle overs.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;The main essence of ODI cricket is how you bat from the 15th over onwards until maybe the 35th over. The first ten and the last ten doesn&#39;t matter, it&#39;s more like a T20,&quot; he said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">He contended the rules are harsh on the bowlers, particularly the spinners.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;You have to make sure that it&#39;s still there present in the game, and I feel the rules are slightly harsh. Maybe slightly more harsh on the spinners who like to deceive the batsmen with their flight, like to challenge them.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;Now you have these all batsmen playing sweeps, reverse sweeps and all these different shots, and they have an advantage,&quot; emphasised Dhoni.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
