Sachin Tendulkar may loath strategy breaks during the Indian Premier League matches but I finds nothing wrong in it, rather it could actually help if used appropriately.Commercial benefits could have driven the idea but still it is not something without virtue.
Twenty20 is a compressed and shortened form of cricket and you need time to execute your plans on the field. The extra time given after 10 overs as a strategy break should come in handy if it is tactically used.
The break is seven-and-a-half minute long, introduced in the this 09 , the second edition of IPL,
I ask my readers the question, why has it created a buzz in the cricketing fraternity with many players questioning its worth.
The players say the break ends up breaking the momentum of the game with batsmen at the receiving end. Many former cricketers criticised the idea as a pure money making exercises through extra this advertisement slot but i really sees no wrong in it.
The commercial angle cannot be denied but it also serves as a break in which teams can regroup and analyse the match situation, which is so vital in any format of the game.
Anyways, whatever the senior players and the commentators feel, i feel like its a tequila Shot.
It has changed the IPL 09 as quickly as F-16 fighter planes clearing the AL-Qaeda out of Afghanistan, its really like a quick shot of tequila - giving full throttle to the IPL party going on in SA this Yr.
Hope every one is enjoying all the three - IPL , Taquila , My Blog. ;)
Speaking about my favourite team in this 09, the second edition of the event, i was with Mumbai Indians but i have started feeling a love for Delhi Daredevils too.
