When one day cricket was first introuduced everybody thought test cricket was in real danger of losing popularity. Over 35 years from that day, test cricket is still going strong. However, it is the ONE DAY matches which are in real danger of losing popularity.

When the 20-20 world cup starts from september-11, it will also mark a new era of cricket. I have been one of the ardent follower of cricket for many years. However, suddenly I have started to like 20-20 more than one day matches. Mainly because almost all the 20-20 matches are very close and most of them are decided in the last over.

Many people say 20-20 requires no skill and its only about slogging. However, even this theory have been proved wrong. Now almost all the cricket pundits believe 20-20 is a very skillful cricket. In this day and age when even international one day matches are played in empty stadiums, we have seen even a domestic 20-20 matches are being played in full houses. I for one is a full member of surrey 20-20 matches at the Oval Cricket ground.

When the world cup starts at 11th of september, it will also be the BEGINING OF THE END OF ONE DAY MATCHES.

Yes No quiero, maybe this format of the game will make cricket global. Also 20-20 being short has huge chances of being inducted as an Olympic game.

does anybody knows the link to watch this series live online ... I am kinda crazy about crick..

SO it would be highly appreciated....

thanks in advanced

Zimbabwe embarasses Australia by 5 wickets with a ball to go.............

Woww..20-20 is so exciting ..Yesterday Bangladesh beat Westy Indies with the help of skipper Ashraful's fastest fifty(off 20 balls)
And today
A nail biter between rivals India and Pakistan ended in a tie and the match was decided by a NEVER SEEN BEFORE rule called the BOWL-OUT(or lets say cricket's version of Penalty shoot-out)

Also Limited overs champion came back after being embarassed by Zimbabwe to beat England to register a sopt for the next round.

AND

Srilanka trounced Kenya by scoring 260 runs in 20 overs.

LOL Bowl outs are entertaining

Shahid Afridi was the last of the three players that missed the stumps(empty) to handover India a 3-0 bowl out win

Srilanka created record against lowly Kenya

I am definitely look forward for tomorrow's match. Two of my favorite teams, but I hope Sri-Lanka will grab the points with a thrilling win.

Guys don't miss tomorrow's game 8 am Eastern time, Sri lanka vs New Zealand, what a game it will be...

Boy I am loving the 20/20 format, packed with fun from beginning to end.
