Should the super subs stay or go. in last summer's ODI'S against aussies both teams didnt use them. so, should the go from internatinal cricket ?

Craig,I think I'm right in saying that they're going soon anyway.Can't think from when....possibly already no longer in use.It was a silly idea,abused by teams into being,in the end,the side winning the toss having an extra specialist batter to the side who lost the toss!So,not only does the skip winning the toss get the benefit of choice,but an extra batter as well!!
I think it was meant initially to be an all-rounder as 12th man,it may have worked if the 12th man selected after the toss,so both sides benefitted from the extra player,but in truth a cricket match should be 11 against 11.End of.Football can have subs as much as it wants,but let's keep cricket above all that nonsense!It's bad enough having 20/20 and one-day stuff regarding player's techniques etc,without anything else.
