Powerplay changes from 1st October

Given my rants about England leaving out Panesar from the last ODI against India, it's good news that the rules about fielders in the 2nd and 3rd powerplays will change from 1st October. Given that a 3rd fielder will be allowed outside the ring in the 2nd and 3rd powerplays, England may be persuaded to play Panesar come what may, as opposed to the current defensive thinking that sees him dropped whenever the boundaries are relatively short.

Hopefully England will now use Panesar as the attacking wicket taking bowler that he should be in all ODIs, rather than thinking defensively. Unfortunately for Monty, the rules don't change until after the current England v India series, so poor England selections are still very much a possibility for the rest of the summer....and of course there is no guarantee that the rule change will see England change from defensive thinking and leaving Panesar out, even with 3 fielders allowed outside the ring from the 11th over.
