There’s no ‘all of a sudden’ at all. If they don’t know the Laws then they shouldn’t be out there.
It's not "all of a sudden" the rules change in the game, the teams know them going into the series.
It is "all of a sudden" in that a days play can be altered because of what happens with one ball at 5.25. Which is already 25 minutes past stumps.
It needs a tweak, that is all.
Last night was not as exciting or intriguing compared to needing 80 runs or 3 wickets this morning.
Good points raised
The rule could be come back for the next day if the chasing team needs 100 or less to win the match ?
