(234) ‘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 ‘tens4', is ‘Beyond Tactics’.If at least one game in played in this format, even you will also say: ‘Of course T20 is dead! ’
The game is free from rains....if rain comes after 20 overs, the winner will be the highest scorer of the first cession of 20 overs.
Come...lets tens 4......... total cricket....
