CRICKET TROUNCING

Try and Match anything for the following:

T-20 World Cup, Final Encounter, India vs Pakistan, nerves at the highest degree as it can be and the match is in its final over. Six balls to go twelve runs to get and suddenly a six of the second ball of the over. Almost a heart blasting out situation and the next ball Misbah the Paki batsman plays a shot out of the cricketing books and the Indian fans think the match has ended for them but then just a second later the crackers go on as the ball lands safely in the hands of the Indian pacer Sreesanth. India win this (less to say just nail biter) match by just 5 runs. History is embossed and it is the beginning of a new cricketing era.
As the Little master Sunil Gavaskar said the level of cricket we have watched it isn’t India who has won or the Pakistan who has lost but it is the cricket which has won. The words aren’t pleasing to be heard from a man who had the record of a 32 run not out stand in a 60 overs one dayer following with his words that the new format is comparatively new to him and would take of the noble out of the game. Perhaps he was right at that time.
Cricket is believed to be a Gentleman’s game with first ever format of test cricket of five days , with the next version as 60 overs one dayer and moving next to a 50 over format and now this T-20 . Isn’t the game is losing on time espoused with quality? The great cover drives, on drives, straight drives have been deoxygenated these days. Birth of shots like reverse sweeps, slog hits over mid wicket or an awkward sweep over a fine leg fielder to a fast bowler has took place. Players like the great Sir Don Bradman would have probably found it difficult to accompany this format of the game with his classic style.
We have had nearly 400 sixes hit in the whole of the T-20 world cup this time. The game is certainly getting harder for the bowlers. Spinners have almost no part to play in the game. We could see nearly every spinner getting a whack from the batsman leaving away a few exceptions. We saw 50 of 12 balls and 260 scored of 20 overs. You got to say excitement was guaranteed but this excitement has take the soul out of the game. It’s the viewers who have won and the cricket which has lost to it.
