Re: Bull**** Cricket
Twenty20 unfortunately is being further encouraged by this new league that BCCI just announced.
I have nothing against making the game shorter, but this format simply does not credit technical correctness in batting and also disregards the bowling aspect of the game.
If the 20-overs game is to be the future of Cricket, ICC should look to make radical changes to the rules to rein in the tullaybaazs and provide for some ammunition to the bowlers.
One rule I would suggest (from Baseball) - if the batsman hits the ball, he must run. This rule alone would impact the batsman-friendly nature of Twenty20.
Other rules...
If you didnot take run on 3 consecutive ball then you are out.
Bat should be cylindrical.
Ooops...now it sounds like Baseball. But I get your point. ;)
