Pietersen A Cheat?
I don't know about that. While you and I get a pleasure from the absence of artificial controls, most people might be more exercised by the absence of boundaries. It's very hard to score fast with no fielding resrictions.
Ten runs for a six would no doubt be wheeled out- and smaller boundaries- but that wouldn't compensate. A couple of sixes then out caught in the deep.
The 50 over game though could work with no restrictions, as it did until about the mid 80s. I even wonder if you could increase the number of overs available to a bowler, which would cut out its greatest weakness, that 10-20 overs are bowled by defensive non-bowlers every innings.
