MUMBAI: There have been plenty of good things-some great batting, bowling and fielding, good crowds for weekend games, lots of drama- on show by the half-way stage of the inaugural edition of the Women's Premier League.
However, a slight eyesore has been the shortened boundaries at both the venues-the Brabourne Stadium at CCI and the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. In an attempt to ensure more high-scoring games, the BCCI has decided to pull in the boundaries by 5 metres-from the standard 65 to 60 metres. The move, which has resulted in even the edges carrying to the boundaries, hasn't gone down well with former Australian opener Rachael Haynes, who's the head coach of the Gujarat Giants in the WPL.
