jf1gp_1 Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 First time i heard abt 20/20 i just threw my hands in air and prayed for failure of this form of cricket. Yes 20/20 is exciting and blah blah but its just not cricket. But to see an international 11 over game played between Aus and WI is just ridiculous. If 20/20 is chadi what is 11/11 ? Even gali games are played for 15 overs. If this is how international cricket is going to be then lets do one thing. Next time an ODI or 20/20 is rained out lets hold an indoor bowlout and decide who won the game.

veer Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 exactly!!.. when i saw the score of 11/11.. it made me laugh.. just crazy.. half of the side didnt do anything in this match..
vadodaravictor Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 T20 is gully cricket glorified to earn money. Soon, local gully cricketers will star in 11/11 tournament called IGL (Indian Gully League):haha:
THX_1138 Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 yeah i concur... a rained out 20/20 shortened for the sake of compensating for lost time is absurd to say the least. its bloody 20-20! so what if you continue late? its not like you have a terrible lot to accomplish in the extra one hour one might have to stick around for...
Cricketics Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 i am okay with reducing the overs for crowds entertainment. but then such game should not be given an international status or averages or records or stats book shouldn't be updated after this game is done. they should just contineu to play this reduced game as a friendly game and not as an international game.
flamy Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 It really was a farce, and the taste of victory is not so sweet and definitely not bitter for the losers.
printex Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Hopefully , Lalit Modi dont lauch a 2nd IPL season of 11/11.
