Guest Hiten. Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 ....came from a format that was 'created' by Martin Crowe. Its a news for me and I never heard about this format until I watched the highlights of one of these games (thanks to rain interruption during NZ vs WI's game today). Only rule that irked me was "Max Zone" which basically is Every time a batsman hits the ball 60 metres straight down the ground into, over or through the Max Zone, the score for that ball is doubled. Pretty stupid, IMO http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/columns/content/story/92955.html Link to comment
Gambit Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Crowe's format was known as Max 8 or something silly like that. Tendulkar, on the 2002 tour, smashed 70 off 20 odd balls hitting Bond all over the park in a Max 8 game. Link to comment

Guest Hiten. Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I dont know whats stupid in that? If thats stupid' date=' then so is free hit, bowl out and the recent super over...[/quote'] Dude what are the chances of ball not being hit straight down the ground ? Moreover these games were played (mostly) in NZ, where the straighter boundaries are relatively short. Even a small glitch in Keeper's technique and the bowl could roll in the "MAX zone" and the opposition team will be awarded DOUBLE number of byes :giggle: Link to comment
