Twenty 20

The recent IPL T20 series in India proved to be too successful. Though the series means to be successful but the term successful in this term refer to success in terms of money. The huge amount of money that summed up proved the success of the tournament.

But my question here is... Was this a successful cricket tournament like any other cricket
tournament? Or is it the starting of the degradation of GENTLEMAN'S GAME.

It is money and only money that ruled the game, right from the start to the end of the
tournament. Let me also focus on the player of the tournament. All the players almost did well in the tournament and most of them also made up to the current Indian team because of the jubiliant performance in the IPL T20.

The main reasons behind the good performances is hard work definately and the other things which added to it were the no pressure cooker situation, as they were prepaid, so no issue of making a performance, to make a mark and secondly the small over game which doesn't require any patience (other wise the game is so called is of patience).

My orthodoxy is not at all against the money spent on the tournment and the profit generated but the degradation of the cricket happing up. The big example of it is Rahul dravid (the best technical batsman that India has ever produced) who was the most critizied in the tournament.

I severly critize this new gentlemen's game called Twenty 20, driven by money and just by money.
