Answer 3

When one-day cricket was first introduced (the Gillette Cup in England in 1963), it was a 65 over a side affair. This was soon reduced to 60 overs, which in turn became the norm for the World Cup and other important tournaments. However, the number of overs per side was not standardised until much later. As you can see from KooKee's answer to the following question I asked, as well as the link in my sources, England played 55 overs a side ODIs until 1995 and Pakistan played 40 overs a side until 1994/95.

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

The number of overs per side would be decided prior to the tour, which is why ODIs were long referred to as LOIs (limited overs international, where the overs were limited but not to any standardised value.) It was not until 1995/96 that 50 overs became the norm, and England continued to play 60 overs a side domestic matches until 1999.

The focus then shifted, internationally to 50 overs a side games, and in English county competition, to 40 overs a side (the Natwest Pro40 is still played) and eventually in 2003, to 20 overs a side. Unbelievably, less than 5 years after the last 60 overs a side game had been played in the English domestic season, 20 overs a side (one-third the previous number) became the big new thing. Overall, the history of limited overs cricket saw a reduction from 65 overs a side in 1963 to 60 overs a side until 1983, 55 overs a side until 1995, 50 overs a side since 1995, and 20 overs a side since 2003. (In 40 years between 1963 and 2003, the number of overs decreased by almost 70%). So it seems only natural to me that, if not T10, then at least 15 overs a side matches will soon become current. I would actually support the format for the following reasons:

1) One innings would last exactly one hour, instead of the hour and 20 minutes now allocated to T20s. The match would last 2 hours plus a short interval (5-10 minutes). This would allow cricket to compare favourably to sports like field hockey (70 minute games), rugby (80 minute games) and soccer (90 minute games, but can last 120 minutes if match goes to extra time, and slightly longer still for penalty shootouts). Finally there will be no excuse of "cricket is too long and boring" left for those unenthusiastic about the game.

2) Each bowler will bowl 3 overs instead of 4. This will mean one bowler who is dominating the other sides batsmen get one less over, making it less likely that a bowler will alone make all the difference in a game (cricket is a team game after all, it is unfair to rely too heavily on one player), and also prevent batsmen from being able to target any one bowler to attack for long.

3) ODis had 15 over field restrictions for many years. In the 90s, Sanath Jayasuriya and Romesh Kaluwitharana of Sri Lanka gave the 15 over period special significance with their attacking batting with the field up, allowing SL to become world beaters and win the World Cup in 1996. 15 overs will thus always have a strategic importance to fans and players alike.

So although T10 seems a little far-fetched, I would not count out the ICC reducing T20 to F15 (fifteen-15) someday, similar to the reductions in ODIs from 60 to 50 overs a side.

Answer 4

Useful thought.  May be this will become reality in future

Answer 5

Excellento....

T10 is very good to hear, but is there any to concern about fans and audience who want to watch in stadium..do you think they'll appreciate this...instead they'll prefer TV.

They'll spend hours waiting in queue to get Tickets and may be by the time they enter inside only thing they have to do is join Applause for "AND MAN OF THE MATCH IS...."

Answer 6

may be happen in future because everyone is busy with their works, business and jobs they cannot spend much time for sports thatswhy it is better to organise limited hours matches. in future shortly the time may come

Answer 7

T10 would be a bad idea...It can be played only in streets with small kids.

It will spoil the game of international cricket

Answer 8

T20 to T10, then T5.

Then, both the captains will go on to the field and toss. Toss will decide who has won the game.

Over.  

Answer 9

Hey what about Z 0 ie (Z-Z) ie (0-0)  No overs to be bowled and let the match be decided by putting the toss.

Answer 10

dat wont b interesting bcoz the overs from 6 to 15 see the most no of runs scored...a T10 match udnt b appreciated as much as T20. though T15 is a gud idea

Answer 11

for time saving this is best  

Answer 12

There is a TV sports series in Tamil Nadu from the sun Network, where each team is granted only six overs. However the rules are completely changed for cricket.

Only 73 legal deliveries totaly

Answer 13

then what...T5??

T10 is a rubbish idea.. I would quit watching cricket the day that happens

Answer 14

try to play other game nad thing over ti

Answer 15

i am sure in another 10-15 yrs it would happen

Answer 16

It is definitely possible, but would be with a reduced number of players. Having 11 plays for 10 overs doesn'y make sense.

We already have the Hong Kong Sixes where its a six-a-side tournament and each team plays just five overs.  For a T10, something can be got by merging this with the current T20 format.  

Answer 17

Very good question. ODI = 50 overs. T20 = 20 overs . T10 = 10 overs. But ten overs innings is too short . Just 60 legal deliveries. Too short the match would be. The match would finish by 120 legal deliveries. Cricket is not interresting when tac-tics are not present. in ten overs even spinners cant spin evenly because the ball is too new.  

Answer 18

i think T10 would be a bad idea...It can be played only in streets with small kids.

It will spoil the game of international cricket

Answer 19

Just as we hear one day we will have to live on by just swallowing a pill instead of food, maybe one day Cricket will be just 5 free Hits.  What fun! L0L.

It may become T10 or even 5/FF one day and then disappear. As people will be busy flying in space. No one will have time or space to sit an watch real men playing. Only play Video games perhaps.

T20 is there to stay a while.

Who knows what the future has in store.

Answer 20

Yes why not...but will anyone like it?

The a day will come when you just toss a coin and decide the winner.

Answer 21

I remember when India played in New Zealand in 2003, the teams played a match with 2 innings(like the test match rule) & each innings consist of 10 overs.

For your question, I think it shouldn't get reduced to less than 15 overs a side otherwise it would just depend on the luck factor!

Answer 22

no coz i think 20 20 is the shortest version and will be the shortest version of cricket

Answer 23

may be its good but i don't think so! it'll be all so fast that no body will enjoy it! T-20 is very good but less than 20 over game is i don't think its entertaining! although its great for street cricket!lol
