Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
We played One Day cricket so it was 10 overs, max of 4, min of 3 overs of fast/medium/spin. So usually 4 fast, 3 medium, 3 spin.
10 wickets was out. A pure slog fest.
Sounds like a T20 origin story.
Looking back, Im surprised T20 took so long to actually start.
I reckon there's a market for televised backyard / gully cricket with changing rules, one hand one bounce, out if you hit it into Mum's roses, beers at mid-off, sledging encouraged.in the mid 90s mates and I devised a new form of street cricket. 4 a side, each player bowls 5 overs each. Wait, thats t20! Rules drawn up to adapt for roofs, trees, and maximum runs permitted when ball goes into a shrub.

I'd watch that before IPL.

Got to see Tendulkar, live, that way.Gates open for the last session, free access to a test match.
Growing up in the 80s, those who grew up in the 60s and 70s always told us we have it easy.
Back then we did actually listen and take advice from older people. There was a level of respect for how they grew up and what they had learned.
Actually, they were. No Facebook or Tik Tok to post videos of their misbehaviour on so there was no incentive.And I bet kids were more well behaved as well...

I can recall about 15 years ago, ch10 I think it was, televising a beach-cricket competition.If it was a celebrity backyard cricket game, it would definitely rate.
They used to televise a beach cricket series featuring ex-international ciricketers back in 2007, 2008 and 2009, from memory it was on Ch10

I reckon Srikkanth from India was having a slog in the early overs going back to the late 80s/early 90s - admittedly most of his team mates at that time didn't really play the same way.I've always thought it was Dav Whatmore with the Sri Lankan side of the mid 90s that planted the seeds of T20, their top order was cutting lose during the first 15 overs in a way never seen before in ODIs and only a few years down the track T20 comes along. I'd argue the two aren't unrelated.
Love videos like that.
"What happened to the beach cricket?"
Here's a 2 minute video that doesn't explain anything!
It seems weird to say this, but back in the 80s I hated Hadlee, but after a watching a few youtube videos, and a bit of retrospect, I'm a big fan.The 80s. Back when Richard Hadlee, Martin Crowe and 9 of their friends used to beat Australia.
Until they came up against Mike Whitney and Aussie umpires...

Their side in 87 was very good with Hadlee Crowe (my favourite ever non Australian batsman), John Wright, Smuthy, Andrew Jones etc.
That Greatbstch innings in Perth in 89/90 where he saved the Test was so bloody annoying at the time.
The kiwis in the 90s seemed to have some cult-figure types with Blair Pocock and Dipak Patel.
Wtaf crease leave.. never heard of that before.
Was always a simple "safe"
