"The gentlement game namely Cricket is now having more passion by 20/20 Cricket."?

Answer 1

It's Ok to experiment with different formats of the game. But one should not change the basic foundation of the game; things like "bowl out" or "free hit" are absolute insults to the spirit of the game.

While I prefer test cricket over one-day international, I like the fact that young people, more people are coming to the grounds because of T20.

Answer 2

The cricket game was evolved in Britain as a gentleman's game where two players from one tean faced the ball and batted it, in turns.
One from the rival team bowled and another stood behind the wicket as 'Wicket Keeper'.(Actually he smashed the wickets!).
The remaining nine of the rival team spread around the field to "field"!.
It was a leisurely game and the match covered six days( the fourth being a 'rest day').Those who could not witness the game sat by the radio and heard the running commentry.Now the TV makes you feel the thrill of watching.
One enterprising person started the ODI with 50 lilmited overs match in DAY!.
Now cricket became another 'football match'!
To add to it, recently the '20-20 game' has come into existence.Match with just 20 overs! To start with acknowledged teams failed in their very first attempt.
I am reminded of a story of Caliph Haroon Rashid.He used to go round the city in disguise.One night he saw a crftsman displaying his wares under a street lamp.But
no one came forward to buy them.The Caliph examined some pieces and marvelled at his superb craftsmanship. He advised him: "My friend! these are pieces of great craft, you better tone down their grade. You will have good business."
After a few months he passed through the same street. In One small shop people thronged to buy the products. He went in and was surprised to see that the craftsman., whom he advised some time back, was making lot of money. He approached the person and asked :" My Friend! Do you recognize me?The craftsmanhigged him and told the success of my business is due to You only, Sir!"
The next moment tears swelled in his eyes and he said : "Honourable Sir! Your advice has made me make money, but my superb craftsmanship has been lost for ever!"
Same is the case with the Cricket world over.
