They did ? By any chance, back then, did anyone use exactly the same words that I did ? I hope not, coz when this line floated in my mind.. I was quite overjoyed to have stumbled upon something apt & original to describe the 20-20 format. Please don't tell me that I have plagiarized sub-consciously :(

That aside, if this is the future of cricket.. then I can safely and without any touch of dissapointment would say alvidaa to cricket. In anycase after SRTs retirement (whenever that happens i.e.) I was contemplating of retiring from watching cricket aswell. 20-20 would just be the additional trigger that I needed.

Ohh you mean a quickie .. eh ? but at least it guarantees orgasm .. coz the test matches generally produce no result .. and one-dayers well .. its almost the same .. one-day in highlights .. to be precise.. I'm beginning to like it ..

That era of boring,lifeless drawn test matches is long gone. If you scan through the results in the recent past, around 80 to 90 % of the matches have produced results. Nobody has the patience n skills to bat through whole day and play for a draw. Thats the side-effect of playing too many one day matches. But I agree, the idea of playing a game which is spread over a span of 5 days, sounds really insane in this age of instant gratification.

Anyways, I hear you loud n clear lady. If guranteed Orgasm is what you seek.. Guranteed Orgasm is what you shall get (atleast, while sitting in front of TV)
