But, I remember 30 and 20 over matches played in Mumbai in local tournaments in the 70's and 80's.
In mid to late 80's 15-over tournaments were also played.
In 90's and the new millenium 8-over and sometimes 6-over tournaments were played. These tournaments used to last for 2 weekends or even one weekend (Sat & Sun).
I'm sure it must be played in other States of India as well.

Kids on the streets play 5-10-20 overs games. I think they have been playing for a long time.
I am sure they play like this around the world. There is no inventor. Although Twenty20 is fun to watch, they need to remove those gay cheerleaders, DJs, dugouts, and bowl-out.
Javed Miandad is right. ICC is trying to copy baseball and other sports. Cricket is older than a lot of sports, so they should keep the way it is.

Hats off to Umar Gul and Misbah, but we were better at some place. We deserve to be winners.
