In the UK there seems to remain a healthy market for 'a day at the cricket' - at England international cricket, at least. <br /><br />I was at the '79 Final, also in the top tier of the Compton Stand. Randall's run out, King's assault, Boycs and Brears struggling to find another gear and then Garner's yorkers stuck with me. I sat down with my Dad to show him the highlights on YouTube last month. It was quite a shock to hear him say he didn't remember we had been there. Much more about his age than the disposability of the format.

The West Indies were chasing Australia's 200-odd, and when the "required run rate" edged above 4 (on the scoreboard) the crowd gave a knowing "ooooooo".Tony Teahttp://aftergrogblog.blogs.com/cricket/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6193495965695124697.post-11299381042159047652012-10-20T06:32:48.999-07:002012-10-20T06:32:48.999-07:00I couldn't agree more.

CLT20 has been a failure -- no-one wants to watch neutral sides in a third country. It's also much harder to get attached to teams when players hold a random assortment of separate ongoing attachments.<br /><br />The obvious solution is to allow IPL teams to play short series in other countries, and to integrate the various T20 leagues under unified franchises. For a month every year, the IPL could play in Australia, with Rajasthan Royals becoming the Melbourne Royals, Deccan Chargers becoming the Adelaide Chargers, etc... Then in the summer, the teams would reassemble in UK for a month as Yorkshire Chargers and Lancashire Royals. This would provide some continuity and unity to the game, and encourage fans to follow the cricket even when it is played across the other side of the world.<br /><br />It would avoid the emerging fragmentation into meaningless national T20 competitions, and also provide a good basis for fitting in meaningful exhibition weeks to expand the game abroad. A single week (where the Royals play in Boston and the Chargers in San Diego) could then help build sustained interest for the main game, without the high overheads and low quality of setting up full leagues in new markets.Chris Pnoreply@blogger.com
