I know u are not against IPL.. and i never me...SP,<br /><br />I know u are not against IPL.. and i never meant to say that.. All i wanted to say that the game has evolved and thats how we should now accept it.. <br /><br />About giving back to the crowds... better facilities at stadiums, more comfortable viewing experiences, etc will be a welcome move.. However I doubt that if the high scoring"ness" of this format is taken away, then the recent fan following of cricket might go away.Trideephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02039683101593206689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153707640015765540.post-43160086414257195802010-03-24T11:29:12.760+05:302010-03-24T11:29:12.760+05:30never tri... you know i always welcome diverse opi...never tri... you know i always welcome diverse opinions and that's what debate is meant for...<br /><br />tho i would like to clarify one thing that i am not at all against ipl... and i fully agree with you when you have said it has brought altogether new fans...<br /><br />but my point is to sustain their interest by giving back to them something... better facilities... better and intense contest and this, most certainly, won't be achieved by making bowlers redundant... and shortening the boundaries...straight pointhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309030423887849171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153707640015765540.post-62202613751391547532010-03-23T20:39:48.509+05:302010-03-23T20:39:48.509+05:30SP,
You have summed up the post really nicely. An...SP,<br /><br />You have summed up the post really nicely. And its very true how for the hunger for money, the administrators are taking the game to the drains. <br /><br />But this is totally a purist view. With time everything evolves. Changes do happen everywhere.. And it has happened to the game of cricket too. The game has evolved with time and it has become more batsman friendly. T20 format has been able to attract crowds which never ever watched cricket earlier. The fan base has grown exponentially. And all this is because of the entertainment quotient attached to it. Look at what IPL has done. It has forced all the female spectators to leave their regular soaps and watch IPL. And this is mainly due to the entertainment factor of IPL. They don't understand anything about the game.. They only like to see all the fours and sixes ad bollywood. They wouldn't like to watch a team which is not able to score quick runs. <br /><br />And unfortunately these kind of fans far outnumber the purist fans like us.. Hence if cricket has to become a worldwide phenomenon.. it has to take the path of T20 and tournaments like IPL.<br /><br />Hence no matter how much we crib about the old form of the game, we have to accept that the game has changed and it will keep on changing in this direction.. And that is where the future is.<br /><br />This is just my view.. never intended to hurt u tho.. :)Trideephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02039683101593206689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153707640015765540.post-31453554207555903522010-03-23T15:00:28.606+05:302010-03-23T15:00:28.606+05:30AB... thanks...
yes, as you have said, cricket do...AB... thanks...<br /><br />yes, as you have said, cricket does provide ample opportunity for broadcaster to put ads and sponsors to place their brand unlike many sports... but they even that is not sufficient to them...<br /><br />they would like to squeeze in every possible opportunity to show ads and that is why are seeing less action than we used to...<br /><br />as much as the game has got enriched due to the influx of good amount of money i am afraid said can not be said about the viewing experience both on tv as well on ground... <br /><br />the fans who have made them kings are being treated like paupers...straight pointhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309030423887849171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153707640015765540.post-17134041373353990692010-03-23T14:24:46.563+05:302010-03-23T14:24:46.563+05:30I agree with you, and want to pick the point which...I agree with you, and want to pick the point which I liked best. The others appealed to logic, so can't be elaborated philosophically.<br /><br />Sometime ago, I was discussing how football is different from cricket and how there are certain things which don't make it the best candidate for television or IPTV viewing. The points are discussed, were like, in cricket the whole action is comfortably captured in one screen-- The bowler, the batsman, the non-striker, the umpire and the wicket keeper, Plus close in fielder.<br /><br />Money wise the game suits too, the sponsors have more time to show their brand, on field and with details. Off action ads can be shown comfortably too, as there is some time after every over, dismissal etc.<br /><br />Now let I come this post, <br />I liked the debate, one person fighting for existence. And I think you summed the entire charm of cricket nicely. <br /><br />If one looks at history, heroics are always attached to an individual fighting odds on its own. And that cricket provided all the time. <br /><br />Enjoyed reading the post. Keep writing.Anil Singhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03730693158313605630noreply@blogger.com
