(239) Limited Over Test Cricket Poem by premji premji

Premji or Sachin, who suggested the idea of limited over test cricket format?

dear friends,

please read my poem no 234 and 235. these two are not poems. they are new concepts the game cricket. i told the concept of matches which can be played based on limited over test cricket format. i told this idea to the world, through keralakaumudi daily on 9/8/09.

i designed a game named tens-4, here the innings are limited to 10 overs. on 4/9/09, Sachin Tendulakar told times now, a news channel, of spitting the 50 over innings of oneday cricket match into two 25 over innings and play in test fashion. here he limited the innings to 25 overs! i am no way interested to defame Sachin. but i have to say that such an idea has already been told by me on 8/8/09

please refer to my blogs

‘Of course T20 is dead’
The game T20 explored almost all the possibilities of contemporary cricket and that’s why this capsule cricket is the most popular now among cricket fans. It lifts the spectators to a new world of uncertainties. These games are examples of pomposity and great playing skills. But, is the halo of T20 is also fading?

If you have a glance at the Indian Premier League matches, one thing is evident that the commercial break after 10 overs, kills the joy of the game. This break affects the performance of batsmen as they lose their concentration and balance of batting when the game is restarted. So shall we think of another format for a twenty over match? Shall we transform the commercial break into another enthusiastic period of time?

Today IPL T20 matches are played in four cessions of 10 overs. (Two continuous cessions of 10 overs for each team) let’s convert these for cessions into four independent innings. Now the 20 over match is transformed into a limited over test match, with innings of 10 overs.

Now each match between teams will be the fireworks of four ten-ten innings. The target will be defined only after the third innings. Imagine the tension build up at the fourth innings. The spectators will be in delirium!

Here every bowler will be allowed only two overs / innings. Each team has to use only one cricket ball for the entire game. The boundaries are set larger than the conventional T20 matches. There is no follow on in this game format. This pattern throws open a lot of possibilities to the players. If anyone fails in the first innings, he can come back through the other innings. Income of the players and BCCI will be sky-rocketing. Now the game is more tight, dynamic and unpredictable. The thrill multiplies in tones. The slogan of this cricket format, which I like to call ‘tens 4’, is ‘Beyond Tactics’. If at least one game in played in this format, even you will say ‘Of course T20 is dead! ’... tens 4 total cricket..

Jai Hind...

Please read, what sachin told to times now, a news channel

Tendulkar told Times Now on Friday that he thought of the idea as far back as 2002, when a Champions Trophy final between India and Sri Lanka could not be completed despite 110 overs of cricket over two days.

'First they played 50 overs and we played two overs before the rain interruption. The next day, Sri Lanka again played 50 overs and we played eight. In the end we were declared joint winners. I thought,110 overs and still no result! That is when I thought, we should have 25 overs first for one side and then the other. And then once again 25 overs for one side and then the other.'

Tendulkar said such a split would ensure increased excitement and closer games, since it would negate the luck factor of the toss and ensure a level playing field for both sides in case of day-night games, when batting becomes difficult under lights.

'Today, we can tell the result of close to 75% of matches after the toss. We know how conditions will affect the two teams. But it (splitting the game into two innings) is not too dependent on the toss because, (if) for example it's a day-night match, then both the teams will have to bat under lights. In those 25 overs you can use your 10 wickets the way you want. Suppose if it rains, then (also) you can plan, ' Tendulkar said.

With Twenty20's increasing popularity threatening to cut into the viewership of ODIs, the ICC is keen to pull out all the stops and renew public interest in the One-day game ahead of the Champions Trophy later this month. Sachin said the game's administrators would do well to consider tweaking the format.

'The conditions change very dramatically but (adopting) this (split format) would ensure that it's the same for everyone. All those things are there, I was just thinking about it. Maybe if they (the administrators) take it, then not bad, ' Tendulkar said.

please compare....similar ideas will flash into different minds. but what important is who told it first. all the national media ignored me... now too they are ignoring...i hope you will not....

now keralakaumudi daily had published another article on 8/9/09 telling that i had proposed the idea of limited over test cricket format through them on 9/8/09. Amrita tv (a pioneer news channel in malayalam telecasted this tory in their top 10 news on 7/9/09.

the english newspapers of this nation tharoughly ignored me!
i need you support...............
