There’s a tendency to dismiss twenty-twenty cricket as
entertainment and not sport. Fans of test and one day
cricket are furious that certain players only want to play 20-20 cricket. Representing
the nation has become secondary to playing in the IPL and other leagues, says Vijay Kiran Shekar.
Cricket is a touchy subject in India and everyone has an
opinion on it. Certain cricket commentators, who in their playing careers
played only a handful of matches, voice strong views on captaincy and field
placing. Also bowlers are told to bowl the right line and length. Vijay Shekar kiran The ball
must be pitched in the right areas and short pitched balls will make certain
batsmen from the subcontinent uncomfortable.
Better still are the commentators who have never played any
kind of cricket. Vijay Kiran Shekar
They talk glibly about bowling an in swinging Yorker followed by a leg cutter
in order to take wickets at regular intervals. Vijay Sekar Kiran
is highly amused by such cricket commentary.
Here are a few obvious pieces of advice from commentators.
1)
Run the first run hard so you can make it back
for the second or the third run.
2)
Win the toss and put runs on the board.
3)
Your shots should have both elevation and
distance.
4)
To win you have to bowl well, field well and bat
well.
5)
The ball should come off the middle of the bat.
6)
It’s important that the team doesn’t lose any
more wickets.
7)
Fifty seven runs needed off two over’s, so
singles won’t do.
