A totally novel and exciting way of watching Cricket, it reminds you of the Gulli cricket that one may be used to in India. Fast paced and a total pressure-builder for both, the players and the viewers, it applies similar rules as that of the One Day. However, notably different, some varied rules apply such as two runs being awarded for a ‘no ball’ instead of one, 75 minute limit for bowling time and so on. More details could be explored in the site below:

Several countries are not too pleased to participate in this format - Australia for instance
did not take this series too seriously - and am sure those who invented Cricket, would already be moaning in their graves! However, this new dawn matters the most currently to the Indian Junta, having won the so-called Twenty20 Cricket World Cup and against our friendly neighbours - Pakistan! Kudos to the Indian team for splendid performance inspite of a good fight by the opposing team!
Twenty20 is meant to revolutionize the way cricket is viewed over the world! Its rules, and the teams too, have already begun to capture attention of those who thought cricket boring (my Mom to begin with).
While this game may threaten to make the 50-over per side or even the test match, redundant, I think the Twenty20 is here to stay and the best thing to happen to cricket in a long time!!
