Tweaking lbw rule.

I'm talking about when there are footmarks. It would be virtually impossible to chase more than 100 with a half decent spinner in a side.

Inswing bowling would be insane too. Jimmy Anderson would go straight through a team at the hint of a bit of swing. Not being able to get forward and outside the line would make it near impossible to play,

Maybe T20 and 50 over stuff is weighted for the batter. Change whatever you like with them, but in the longer form changing the LBW rule would be horrific, and simply their to please those with the attention span of a gnat.
Certainly agree that it's in white ball cricket where the imbalance between bat and ball is. However allowing a batsman to simply virtually kick the ball away when pitched outside the leg stumps isn't exactly a skill. Why not a compromise-not offering a stroke if the ball pitched outside leg is hitting would be out.
