Evolution of Cricket

Wednesday Mar 4, 2009

Two decades back, people used to watch only five days test match cricket for all the thrill and the sport used to be dominated by the West Indies team and England team.

A decade back, things started changing and people started liking the toned down version of one day game wherein each team was asked to play for sixty overs each.

Few years down the line, it was fine tuned further and reduced to fifty overs per side in a day. So by the end of the day, people could see the result of the match with many interesting moments in between.

Now, we are seeing a further toned down version I.e, the 20-20 format wherein teams plan for only 20 overs per side, and the entire match is over in just three hours.

The latest version of the game has got instant acceptance across the globe and more and more countries are expected to introduce the version in their country locally also.
