Under new rules, Australia have lost just once after winning the toss

Australia captain Ricky Ponting has called for one-day cricket's experimental rules to be scrapped in time for next year's World Cup.

The trial of super-sub and powerplay rules will run until the end of March, before a review by the International Cricket Council's cricket committee.

"I don't think there's anything lost by going back," Ponting told BBC Sport.

"We'll keep trying and making the best of it but I'd like to see us going back to 11 against 11 for the World Cup."

The super-sub rule allows teams to substitute any player with a 12th man, who can bat and bowl, rather than just taking a place in the field as under traditional regulations.

It would be better if you give both captains the opportunity to use one of those powerplays Ricky Ponting

But several international captains have called for the rule to be tweaked so that the super-sub can be nominated once they know whether they are going to bat or bowl first.

The toss has always had a marginal affect on one-day internationals but that has become more pronounced since the new rules were brought into effect last July.

World Cup holders Australia have won 76.5% of their matches, including all but one during the current VB Series, but that statistic shoots up to 90% when the coin falls their way.

England have won just three one-day games - one against Australia and two in Pakistan - since the rule was invoked, all after winning the toss.

Answering a question from a Test Match Special messageboard user, Ponting said the current version of the rule is impractical if a side does not select an all-rounder as super-sub.

EFFECT OF TRIAL RULES IN ALL ONE-DAY INT'LS: Australia Overall: P614, W374 = 60.9% When toss won: P317, W199 = 62.8% England Overall: P428, W211 = 49.3% When toss won: P202, W106 = 52.5% UNDER NEW RULES: Australia Overall: P17, W13 = 76.5% When toss won: P10, W9 = 90% England Overall: P8, W3 = 37.5% When toss won: P5, W3 = 60%

He cited the game against Sri Lanka in Perth on 29 January, when bowler Brett Dorey was Australia's 12th man.

Australia lost the toss and were made to bowl first, which effectively ended Dorey's involvement in the match.

"He goes out of the game and you're playing 11 against 12," said Ponting, whose team beat the Sri Lankans by six wickets.

Ponting also wants to see a change to powerplays.

Under the new rules, the bowling team is forced to field nine players, including the bowler and wicketkeeper, inside a 30-yard (27.5m) circle for two five-over blocks after the first 10 overs.

In the past, fielding restrictions were only in place for the first 15 overs.

"We've used the powerplays in a couple of different ways but generally you try to get them out of the way as soon as you can," said Ponting.

"The reason powerplays were brought in was because everyone thought the game was a bit boring between overs 15 and 40.

One-day trial rules explained

"The powerplays aren't even being used then at the moment so that doesn't really make much sense."

Ponting suggested it would be better if both captains could decide when the powerplays were introduced.

"At the moment the batting team has no say - it's just when the bowling team wants to use it," he said.
