BHPian ![]() | ![]() If the matches are on weekdays then tickets should be made to school/college students to increase the no of audience ... Anyways BCCI does not earn anything from the empty seats. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() I see its a while since anyone posted on this subject. Don't know about the cricket scene in India but here in England we have been infested with that awful twenty/20 game. You've probably guessed I am not a short form game lover. |

| ![]() T20 as cricket is well not really cricket. 10 years earlier and i could have been thinking differently. Why? Because 10 years back i stopped playing pro cricket as there was no exposure beyond a particular level. For getting into the Indian Team, the requirements were you either had to be from the BIG teams or have a godfather with the right contacts. I had neither. If T20 had happened then, probably i could be smiling at you guys from big hoardings in your cities. T20 is not all that bad, ask the small time players. Its a boon and they will retire in peace. We.. well we just need to move on with a lot of pain in our hearts. India Vs SriLanka - 131/0 Looking good, very good ![]() The wicket looks likes a spinners delight. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Next year we have a Pakistan V Australia Test at Headingley. It will be interesting to watch as a neutral. Spitfire, did you ever get the chance to play any cricket in England? I have played club cricket with and against some good Indian players....and made some good friends too. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() India should declare with 800+ score on the board, the pitch would break on the third day & we would have bhajji/ojha in song in this test. |
