Might be worth mentioning that some of the early ODIs (eg NZ v Eng 1974/75) were played as 35 8-ball overs. Loganberry (Talk) 01:29, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Rules - ties

What's up with this text:

"If the number of runs scored by both teams are equal when the second team loses all of its wickets or exhausts all its overs, it shall get decided by Which team lost fewer wickets to reach the score, if no result, the team with the higher run rate at the start of the innings shall win, if still no result, the match then goes into a bowl off."

Every ODI I've seen, when both teams score the same runs, it's a tie. I've heard of the number of wickets being used to determine a winner (never seen it though); both teams would have a run rate of 0 at the start of the innings; and what on earth is a "bowl off"? BlueXR6Turbo

This info was only recently added to the article (diff). It contradicts the ODI laws on the ICC website, which state:

Law 21.3.1  If the scores are equal, the result shall be a tie and no account shall be taken of the number of wickets which have fallen.

I've reverted to the previous (accurate) wording. As for the "bowl off", I can only guess the editor was referring to a bowl-out. --Muchness 12:58, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

a bowl off is similar the equivalent to a penalty shoot-out in football, each team chooses 5 bowlers to bowl at the stumps (no batsman) and who ever hits most wins. If it is a tie after 5 it goes to sudden death (this actually happened in a twenty20 last year)
