Let us get rid off byes and leg byes
Those two are the scoring methods in cricket which ruins the game's elegance. The team gets runs because of sheer luck when the ball goes off the batsman's body or even touching no where at all. This is not right about the spirit of the game. Runs should be given only if the bat hits the ball genuinely. Even the lucky edges which results in runs to the area right behind the wicket keeper need to be taken away. This will take the gambling aspect of a cricket game away to a great extent and will make it much more a game of skill and temperament. This will add the level of competitiveness of the game and will increase the interest in the game many fold.
