World at odds (WAO)

Have you heard about this type of cricket? This type of cricket is played in NewZeland. Rain is too frequent to have a proper game in that part of the land. Only two people I know who have experience of playing in this type of weather are Duckworth and Lewis. These two folks I heard are some mathematician and have devised a complex program that take account into lots of thing in deciding shower effected games.

This time around Kiwi land has been very different, Kiwi’s are flying everywhere. Oops should have said balls are flying. It was always been challenge to play in seaming and overcast conditions. A battle of ball and bat at its intriguing. But the plague which had entered the world of cricket has entered has reached here also. We need a commercial game, loads of run scored and loads of revenue. No one is interested to see a battle of skill. We see now power athletes in this sports too, who get wonderful reflexes and average technique. Ball seam a bit they all are sitting ducks. Swinging a ball is an extinct art last practiced by 2 W’s from Pakistan.

Kiwi’s need Indian peacocks in their backyards to make some money for them by performing. They too need money to survive else all the Kiwi too will take to some other art / sport. WI has already suffered and many others feels left out. Indian player are rockstars , there promoter BCCI is the worst thing to happen to the game. Loads of run scored and loads of wickets falling in a day is what the new brand of cricket. Skills that a player require is good eye sight and a fitness level to keep him on field 24 x 365.

Even shower cricket in turning money. Who knows in future like space tourism you can pay a handsome pay check to BCCI to bowl or bat in a ODI. Haha this is my idea , so they have to share revenue here. I am going to fetch my raincoat and sit in front of tv, shower can come out in this interactive tv world.
