Did your analysis back this argument up? Yep. From 1980 to 1990, the Windies had 20 of the worst 30 innings over-rates. No false myth there.
Is this true? This one took a bit of Statsguruing, since I don't have comprehensive ODI or T20 databases. I am quite shocked at the findings.
In the 100 T20I's to date, there have been 90 no-balls. In the last 100 ODI's, there have been 126 no-balls. That's a very small increase, given the large amount of extra overs bowled.
But, if you take the last hundred ODI's in 2000, there were 356 no-balls (disproportionately more than in the T20I's). It's need a bit more analysis to be sure (and this sort of analysis with Statsguru is time-consuming), but it looks like teams have realised (perhaps because they were forced to in T20's) that putting your front foot really close to the popping crease gives hardly any benefits, and increases the number of no-balls you give away.
