Let me know why you disagree with this proposal in a constructive way, and then maybe I shall turn from 'Communism into Capitalist'
I take issue with your reasons for the change and the change itself.

*******izing laughable cricket pitching method into softball under the guise of "leveling the playing field" is just more international sour grapes over your inferior softball players.

This is the equivalent of me proposing to add: hands on the ball, helmet, and pads to soccer to make the sport worthy and to level the playing field so that America might do better on the international soccer scene.

I think great pitchers like Jenny Finch & Cat Osterman have added almost immeasurable popularity to softball. Greats are what make the sport what it is. Do they crush your international teams? Of course they do. You stand little to no chance against USA in softball. That is NOT a valid reason to change pitching.

I have an alternate proposal, you guys get good at softball.
