| I think this rule is silly. However I feel the ICC will stick with the rule, but only changing it slighty. They will either make it so you can name your SuperSub after the toss, or make it so you can name 2 SuperSubs, but only use one of them. This would allow you to pick one bowler and one batter, and depending on the situation you can play one or the other. Also the Powerplays should go back to being 15 overs, without the choice of taking them when and where. Rarely does a captian choose not to have them one after the other (However Tres has done differently in the current ODI) and Captains are seemingly passing up the chance of using them differently  |

| I am open to this idea, but it should be changed so that the super sub is named after the toss, to make it equal for both teams. |

| We see tht wiht the Pakistan team there really is no need for super subs, seeing as how we have som many all rounders, heck we had 7 bowlers in the 3rd ODI. 4 of whom can bat. |

| All the more reason why it should be scrapped, why should teams like Pakistan who can develop a number of world class all rounders be punished for the sake of other teams who can only produce batsmen or bowlers? I wouldn't mind it so much if the selection came after the toss, ie you had to select 12 players beforehand but you could pick which was the sub after the toss so that both sides get a fair chance to use their sub rather than just the one that wins the toss. |

| I think there should only be one toss at the beginning of a odi series. Thereafter the batting or bowling first decision alternates. No super sub at all. |

| Then youd be gambling on what the weather will be like in about 10 days time, which would make it even more of a lottery. The toss is an integral part of the game, Supersubs and long range weather forcasting arent. By the way, what if its a tri nations series? |

| I agree Statto, by using a rotational system it would take away the importance of winning the toss and calling correctly.
