Cricket, Lovely Cricket
On Sportcentre India a few days ago Dalmiya made this interesting point that this form of cricket is not in the agenda of India unlike many other countries as its 40 percent of a match and thus 40 percent of income.
Now it does seem a valid point given a 50 over game has a lot more time and thus air time and this ads and thus revenue.
The more I think of it, the more I think Dalmiya is on the spot. It is not as if one day cricket is on the decline like test cricket was. People still go to watch it much more than tests and is played to packed houses and has more tv viewership as well.
Why cut on revenues by promoting a reduced format?
