beauty of cricket lost
by akshay kumar on Apr 20, 2008 12:57 PM

IPL is not a boon but a bane for cricket eventhough It will help the players financially.
With shortened boundaries,flat wickets its highly favured to the batsmen. I hope they will bring a cap on the ball speed also like maximum speed allowed 130 kph .
A contest becomes interesting when it is played on a level playing field.a four in a test match on a good wicket is more valued than a one in a 20-20 because of the above reason.
IPL proves to the extent administrators are ready to change the game to bring more public.
Football still remains a game where talent and skill rules .
