ICC, New Format and the fixing
by on Sep 25, 2007 02:44 AM

1.Guys ICC wanted 20-20 format to become popular and accepted by the people.
2. In which 2 countries peoples are crazy about the cricket and which are the two countries with biggest population (and hence biggest market for advertisements) among cricket playing countries: India nad Pakistan
3. Which match as a final has potential to draw largest crowd to watch it: India pakistan world cup final

And that happened. To make new format popular, this event was organised.

Have you observed most of the sponsers of the match were companies who sell product in India: biggest sponser was Reliance ADAG, then there were nokia etc.

Also, have you noticed league match between India nad Pak was drawn. And after that all 3 bowlers of pak could not his the 3 wicket stump(even gali ke bacche hit kar sakte he use). Ok, even if it was by mistake, mistake could be done by 1 not all 3. so, y all 3 missed it in bowl out. Because if only 1 player has missed it, that player would have been in serious trouble in pak. so all 3 missed it.

And even final was made exciting till the last bowl. Thats to show how 20-20 can generate such an excitement.
