New Cricket Format Being Launched

[Windjammer]

Story has it that when Cricket was introduced in Germany, Hitler was present for the opening ceremony and first day of the test match. Next day he went about his own business but kept in touch with how the developments of the game, he however was informed that the other team was now batting, third day he found out that first team is about to start their second innings.
Then it was rest day. Late on Fifth day he discovered that second team was playing their second innings. On the final day, the news came in that it's raining heavy and the match is abandoned thus it's a draw.
The Furour was furious, he said what kind of nonsense is this game, you wait for a result for almost a week and all you get is a draw. So reportedly he banned Cricket in Germany.
But as history would have it, One day or 50 overs format was introduced and the test match rest day was done away with.
The 50 overs game still lasted most of the day sometimes Duckworth Lewis system totally ruined the outcome of the result.
To make the game more interesting with always a fair result planners introduced the Twenty 20 game which produced a result within 4 hours. Now to make cricket even more high tempo, next summer the 90 Ball a side game is being introduced so each team will be required to score maximum in 15 overs thus we should see more boundaries and shots being played out of the ground. Should be more exciting with a result within 3 hours.
Let's hope the game doesn't gets shrinked to just the Golden Over.

T20 is okay, less overs is a joke. The nature of the game requires time at the crease to judge ability.

the man was a purist, he rebelled against the shorter (at the time, 60 over ODI) format

asli test batsman waala junoon, "out kar ke dikhaao"

anecdote: growing up, my neighbour/shcoolmate's dad had been a Ranji/first class cricketer of some repute but never made the national team, he was good friends with Bedi so we'd see him sometimes, great guy !

Interesting fact: 20/20 tournament originated from Nazimabad EidGah ground where Ramzan tournament used to take place for ages now, it took the world by storm

Pakistanis have been playing 5 over format for as long as i remember

 

[-blitzkrieg-]

Its a dying sport. 30 years on you still have the same 8 or 9 teams .
Today you go to West Indies , nobody plays cricket in open like they used to.
SA is soon going to pass laws to restrict # of White players in team and Zimbabwe is already gone, thanks to President Mugabe.

Too many formats of Cricket nowadays can't even keep up, in England they even have the hundred ball
tournament as well.

The ICC needs to step in and keep only 2 formats 50 overs and T20. The 50 over game can be played with
white kit red ball and the T20 format with coloured kit and white ball. There should only be 1 T20 world cup,
these idiots have a 50 over, 20 over soon they will have a 10 over world cup as well.

Cricket is a game invented by a country that is a thief, a liar and a murderer of millions of people. Today as with everything that is devoid of a soul, it's all about money. So it's only those nations either dumb, greedy or vain enough, that still pursue to follow this game. In Pakistan however, where people still have a heart and a soul, it's pursuit is due to passion. But Pakistan ought shift their passion toward things that are worth pursuing, not this garbage.

Ah the old good glory days in nazimabad, we used to play all the games like hockey, cricket and sometimes squash. I remember watching ramzan cup in eidgah as my local team Shalimar cricket club used to play that, actually it was them who started that and then one fine day Mr. Zia ulhaq ordered to stop the ramazan cup.

And in last people will not be able to tell difference between cricket and baseball.

No way. Test match ke apna maza hai.

It's so much more strategic, requires so much more concentration and discipline.

Cricket without test matches is inauthentic.
