Yipee! Starting tomorrow we will have overdose of cricket...

Or would it be under dose? For test connoisseurs, it definitely would definitely be an under dose. In a test match 90 overs are bowled during a day with healthy competition between bat and bowl. Whereas from tomorrow onwards we will watch 7 week long IPL extravaganza with only 40 overs bowled during a day. And bowlers being treated as second class citizens.

I am not trying to marginalize T20 cricket. I am great fan of all 3 formats of cricket as each format needs different type of skills. I just feel sad for bowlers who are slogged mercilessly all around the park. Maybe in next few years bowlers will develop new weapons for T20 cricket or we will see some changes in rules. Till that time let's enjoy our cricket.

One thing is definitely sure the cricketers will enjoy overdose of fans...
