New ICC rules states that batting team can choose either second or third power play of their choice. Is this a right decision??? Will this favours batsmen too much and neglect the bowlers and their efforts???

well, this would make the game more interesting and this will make captain's life more difficult. this rule will make bowlers life hell. they will get more thrashed when choice is given to batsman. already bowlers life in modern day cricket is very tough with free hits and close decision will always go batsman favors. this rule also favour the team batting secod, because they know the target and they can use it when ever they want. more teams batting second will win. well, there is no doubt that this rule will make cricket more interesting but in the same way this rule may not favor bowlers and team batting first.

Yes Ananth, you are absolutely right. This decision will lead to one sided game often. As you said second playing team will have more chance of win. This in turn depend on the captain's luck to win the toss. I believe they will impose new rule to for tosses also very soon. LOL...
