Cricket is a game of Pesence,Startegy and Approach. Now I feel "No Class" Exist in Cricket.
First Heart attack for the Cricket was ‘T-20’ and then Second Sevier attack was ‘ICL’ and ‘IPL’. Now no more Cricket only Money matter.
I do agree that T-20 format is saving our time and in a few hours we can get the result but now we cannot have the class of Cricket.T-20 or IPL is just like putting fire in bunch of crackers.
Now most of the Players are more focusing on new format of cricket.I remebered somewhere I read that concept of IPL was to give chance to new players and somehow it is working but it is affecting the main players also and due to this our key players are not performing well in Major Tournaments.Due to this the charm of Test Match and One Day games are getting down day by day.
I can bet that T-20 cannot give you player like ‘Sir Don Bradman’ and ‘Sachin Tendulkar’.
What a classic Shot,Across the line ,Back foot shot ,Cross-bat shot ,Pull Shot,Sweep Shot…now we will rarely hear these terms.Now no more ‘Doosra’,’Yorker’,’Half-volley ‘ will work any more.
I feel the Golden Era of the Cricket was till before T-20.The soul of the Cricket is Test Matches and One Day Matches and these are the format which judge the Caliber, Techniques of a Player.
From Sir Don Bradman to Sachin Tendulakar we have seen so many class players and we are still appreciate their games and love to watch it again and again. Who can forgot ‘Bradman’ innings,Vivian Richards,K Srikant,Sunil Gavaskar,David Boon,Jeff Marsh, Gordon Greenidge, Sir Garfield Sobers ,Sachin Tendulakar and many more players innings.
I remembered during my school days when there was Cricket Match between ‘India-Pakistan’ then at that time no body interested to miss the match.It was like a curfew situation.Now I can rarely find these kind of situation.
Excess of anything is bad and incase of Cricket Yes it is true.
