+100Only T20 can trigger the expansion of Cricket as a global sport
ODI and Tests can't. Indians can waste their time sitting in front of TVs for 5 full days or 8 hours for ODIs continuously. No one else can't.
Cricket was always against the environment. The bats are not eco-friendly you know. Does that mean we should stop playing cricket?
Have we really changed the game's very existence with stupid rules? See: Adoption. (IPL has "adopted".)Who wants that.....?? the management you think has come up with T20 to make cricket reach the world....lol you r dreaming, its just money. You cannt expect to kill the mere existance of the game just to reach masses. Games like NBA, ruggby has their specific target audience, if now you think US decides to make it global they should change the games very existance with stupid rules and unnecessary advertizing.
oh really? When did I say I support "IPL"? I'm just supporting the T20 format. All formats are equal. Too much of so-called purists piss me off especially when they will never bother watching a Ranji game. A game surely evolves over a period of time. T20 is an evolution. Never did I say that it's better than ODI or Test Cricket. T20 is Cricket. Accept it or not.Indians dont "wast" time while watching ODIs and test, they "enjoy it" so does all the other cricket playing nations and true cricket lovers, if people like you feel its a wast of time, it not surprising that you support the no brain game version of cricket called IPL
T20 is Cricket. Accept it or not.
That's like saying "Oh look, I DONT want cricket to be popular. I DONT want cricket to be an olympic sport. Let it remain as it is. We indians are watching. Thats enough"Who wants that.....?? the management you think has come up with T20 to make cricket reach the world....lol you r dreaming, its just money. You cannt expect to kill the mere existance of the game just to reach masses. Games like NBA, ruggby has their specific target audience, if now you think US decides to make it global they should change the games very existance with stupid rules and unnecessary advertizing

You give anything, I mean anything, I can bet you on paper....80% of the game will still be blind hitting and nothing else......
You obviously have no idea about what you are talking. Period. *en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BaseballT20 is much more like baseball. Period.
Cricket is no longer cricket
Sachin has redefined the art of batting in the IPL. Only 3 sixes till now. He plays cricket, the rest are merely wild swingers of the bat.
Really? I doubt whether this sentiment remains the same 10yrs on. We all like to stay in our little shells dont we? Call ourselves "great acheivers"?ok for you then it should be like......."Oh look!! nobody is watching cricket around the world except India or the cricketing nations....its not popular.....Damm the game wont survive, we have to make it popular, screw the game, it should be popular thats more important"
I wonder if people like you are in some sports management what would you do to games like "golf" and "Snookers" which are snail pace games to make them more popular.
you want to be thoroughly entertained.....go watch a movie, hit the bar, gamble, screw around, do whatever.....just dont watch cricket ...simple
Go watch the Ranji final. Better still. England vs Bangladesh test match. If you dont change the channel after 10mins, you sir, are a special individual.lol you dont need brains to garner huge profit and sales in ticket......it was obvious.....add all that non cricketing nonsence,(glamour, bollywood....etc ect) make it shotter (which obviously would shower sixes and fours) advertize it like insane and with a population of 100 crore you got your huge profit and sales in tickets......
Frankly, I've had enough of this argument. You just fail to see my point.Then my friend you dont have the slighest idea what cricket as a game is (which is obvious given the arguement you are trying to pull)........you and all other on your side know cricket just as an entertainment
Ok. You win *sarcasm*Test cricket is never just win or loose, even to get to a draw is sometimes considered more tough, challenging and hence even more satisfying over a clear a win. True cricket as a game tests a team's/player's temperament, character, endurance, technique keeping it entertaining as well.....ONLY for those who understand cricket as a game.
Wrong my friend IPL has not won it just successfully was able to carter that "specific" audience who just needs pure fun out of the game, by whatever means......thats it
I know.ok your support for T20 is welcomed,
No denying.IPL is even a more crocked version of T20.
Wrong. It is an evolution.T20 is not an evolution,
Yes, it has. btw, earlier Cricket was played with "hockey-like" bats. Did Cricket die when we started using the proto-modern bat?cricket already has evolved as a game,
How come? IPL has just adopted T20 as the format.they have changed the format,
Test cricket died when no and wide ball were introduced? Or did ODIs die when 15 overs restriction was introduced?added rules,
Everyone knows that this is wrong.added bollywood, added half naked women, added maindrass, added media, added non cricket contests,
YOU as a "cricketing audience" will not even watch a Ranji match on the television for more than 5 minutes. Or you might not even know whether the Ranji matches are going on or not.added all non cricketing nonence... ... to lure "specific" kind of audience who just wants blind fun out of the game irrespective of the "actual" game. To lure Audiance for whom cricket is................"just in the first 15 overs" one question of "skore kaya hua hai" in the middle innings and "the last 5 overs" thats it.
Cricket died when ODIs were introduced?This is not cricket....
Cricket died when ODIs were introduced!T20 is not cricket
What about Kerry Packer's "Circus"?and IPL is even worst than T20 as cricket........
Not accepting.Accept it or not...
Sachin is a legend.+100 Absolutely...... And with a fact that he still is the second heighest scorer in IPL.
Nope. I see T20 as just another form of the game which will give a FAIR chance to smaller Cricketing nations to come forward and participate in the global arena.ok for you then it should be like......."Oh look!! nobody is watching cricket around the world except India or the cricketing nations....its not popular.....Damm the game wont survive, we have to make it popular, screw the game, it should be popular thats more important"
Golf has it's other forms too. We are not discussing golf and snookers anyways. And these games are ACTUALLY more popular all over the world than Cricket is.I wonder if people like you are in some sports management what would you do to games like "golf" and "Snookers" which are snail pace games to make them more popular.
Why NOT Cricket?you want to be thoroughly entertained.....go watch a movie, hit the bar, gamble, screw around, do whatever.....just dont watch cricket ...simple
Now that is an ON-topic argument in context of the IPL.lol you dont need brains to garner huge profit and sales in ticket......it was obvious.....add all that non cricketing nonsence,(glamour, bollywood....etc ect) make it shotter (which obviously would shower sixes and fours) advertize it like insane and with a population of 100 crore you got your huge profit and sales in tickets......
T20 is a form of Cricket. And you + all the others on your side will never watch a Ranji game on the Television....???Then my friend you dont have the slighest idea what cricket as a game is (which is obvious given the arguement you are trying to pull)........you and all other on your side know cricket just as an entertainment
Test cricket is another form of Cricket. Everyone knows that T20 and Test cricket are different.Test cricket is never just win or loose, even to get to a draw is sometimes considered more tough, challenging and hence even more satisfying over a clear a win.
True cricket as a game tests a team's/player's temperament, character, endurance, technique keeping it entertaining as well.....ONLY for those who understand cricket as a game.
So, why not a form of Cricket for those audience as well?Wrong my friend IPL has not won it just successfully was able to carter that "specific" audience who just needs pure fun out of the game, by whatever means......thats it
Well it IS cricket, no matter how much you denyT20 is not cricket......
omfg, a true Cricket fan doesn't know about that?No idea what you mean here.ico said:What about Kerry Packer's "Circus"?
Slogging is a cricketing skill. Like it or not. It is.For me and I think for most true cricket fans......Cricket as a sport is played with real cricketing skills.......so again T20 is not cricket.....
Sums it all. Just because of the fact that "true Kirkit fans" like you will not even go to watch these domestic matches, we need the IPL for the "noob Kirkit fans" to fill up the stadium and who can also act as a motivation for the young "khiladis" to get forward in whatever way.I WILL watch rahji if its between crickting nations, the reason I dont watch ranji is not because i want sixes and fours and cheerleaders etc......its just because i enjoy nations to compete, NOT my own states. U have Ranji between nations (test odi whatever) and I will be there to see.
