I hav few reasons why bowl out should not be introduced in ODIs...
1. Bowl out is designed based on penalty shootouts in hockey/football where objective of the game is to score goals... Think for a min... does bowl out is really an effective way to decide winner?
2. 5 members from each team come and bowl at stumps without opponent batsmen defending it? basic definition of cricket itself is batsman trying to defend his stumps from bowler and in process score runs.. Now without batsman is it called cricket?
3. After 100 overs and 6-7 hours of hard work on the field, if a team is defeated in bowl out did they really deserve to lose? I'm not talking which team deserved a win but did the losing team deserve the loss?

the question is why not!!!
i think its a great and revolutionary idea to introduce something like the bowl out.
why not introduce it in test matches too?
atleast we'll have a winner.
cos i think 22 players putting everything they have all their energy and power in the game deserve atleast result.
atleast they shud know they are beeter then their opponents or they still need to improve.
atleast give them what they deserve.
its just gonna add sum spice to the game.
