Is there anything they can do to tighten up a cricket match so that it lasts just a few hours?

Question

I'm tired of this mess going on for a few days. It gets boring. What rules can be applied to get things moving along and make it more fresh and appealing for the younger generation?

Answer 1

I've got a brilliant idea!!   How 'bout 20 overs a side?   With no more than 4 overs per bowler.   And fielding restrictions last 4 or 5 overs only!    And you could also throw in things like,  after a dismissal,  the next batsman has only a minute to get to the middle.   The  whole game would be over in around 3 hours!!!   Sound good?

I think I'm on to something there...

Answer 2

what game are you referring to?  coz 20/20 already is doing what you are wishing for...  though I find it boring, I prefer test match, can't get enough of it.

Answer 3

Make  it  a   10  over  or  a  15 over  a  side  match.

Answer 4

Try watching T-20 cricket for a change.

Answer 5

Check out the Indian Premier League for example

Answer 6

Answer 7

Ya dude i know wat u mean.......you should check ur local tv guide for a event called IPL i think thats short enough and very entertaining.

Answer 8

T-20 matches are only for 3-4 hrs.T-20 is interesting than one day matches. Do you want matches of 10-15 overs.

Answer 9
