Wouldnt 10 over per side matches be great? It may sound a little stupid at first, but maybe it would be a nice addition to the game.
Ill explain: The batsmen wouldnt have to worry too much about wickets and the game would be quick, close and exciting. Without having to worry about the team lasting a full 50 overs the batsmen could go for every delivery, making it a game perfect for spectators. With a low number of overs the games would also result in lower scores and closer matches - again, perfect for spectators. With the batsmen playing more aggresively the game will be more fast-paced, with crowd pleasing 4s and 6s. The bowlers would need to keep it tight and show a high level of skill to contain the batting side.
Imagine India and Australia in a 10 over game! With Tendulkar, Dravid, Singh, Hayden and Gilchrist it would be as fast paced, impressive and exciting as any other sport.
The only problem I can see with a 10 over match is that it finishes too quickly. Maybe the only solution to this is to have 3, 10 over per side matches over a day, with victory going to the team with the most wins from the 3 games.
After thinking it over I cant see why this kind of game couldnt be possible. Im interested to know what everyone else thinks of the idea.
