cricket today has been so commercialized that all people want to see is 6s & 4s.
I remember those days when it was a struggle between ball and bat.
Any Batsman playing good on a particular day could score a hundred and any good spell brought you wickets(mostly ;).
spells that Wasim/Waqar used to have(and their yorkers as well) are hard to find.
Today its bat,bat,bat and bat.
For instance this series in New Zealand, all pitches have been created with batting in mind.
Nothing is there for Baller.
India scored 392 and Newzealand replied by scoring 334.
Pakistan & srilanka scored 600+ in their respective innings in 2 tests matches.
what a nonsense!!! Stupid !!!
Have Batsmen come from Moon Or suddenly they learnt how to bat. How could you make a mockery of cricket by making dead pitches.
Pitches all over the world are being designed with Batsman in mind.
I think Cricket is more than 6s & 4s.
Its a continuance struggle of bat and ball with each one dominating whichever plays well at particular day. I hope it should be played and managed in that spirit.
time to go to sleepless sleep.
