2020 May Be A Special Year For Twenty-20 As Its Number Only Is The Name Of This Format

Co-incidences are special as they indicate links. 2020 is only one such link in Cricket as it points out to the name of one of its formats. & This year has anyway on its plate of schedule an unprecedented & much-awaited World Cup of this format. Much-awaited because the contests in this game are much high-level these days & unprecedented because of 2 reasons - 1) Because it is being hosted in the home of the boss of Cricket - Australia & 2) Because the last edition of this tournament was very high-profile & intense. Also, because other forms of this tournament this year like the Women's World Cup & the Under-19 World Cup have escalated the interests further. The new Super-Over rule has also made the thing even more interesting. Due to all these reasons the WC Australia has become a subject of high aspirations.

Commentater Trio

The Commentater Trio of Sunny Sir, Geoffrey Boycott & Tony Greig was the best commentater team in Cricket ever. What unlimited excitement, what unparalleled style & what unbeaten class of passion & skill they brought in the game! They were all masters themselves & had this rare quality of energy, language & service. They served the game like warriors of an army & produced unqualified results in it. Their comments had immeasurable impact on the opinions of the people, the Cricket community including the players & the experts & the events of coming times. All people watched their commentaries with breathless attention & importance & followed their statements religiously after judging them in their own intellects. These people had been doing this task since long time & were already there when the Cable T.V. boom happened in India in 1992 & glamourised the game of Cricket. So, people watched them as the 1st experts of the sport. They put their views in iconic fashion & words & in such style that it became a sensation for the common man. The ordinary people carried these outlooks to the common discussions of life & made them permanent. While the Cricket community of players, coaches, team managements & the expert club took them to the decision tables of the teams & took their decisions & actions of the future matches accordingly. The way they analysed the events became the determining factors of what will be done ahead to overturn the failures & improve the performances & beautify the game. The authorities at all levels also considered their analysis & comments to decide how to improve & beautify the game. In all, the services of this trio was beyond appreciation. Although all commentators are invaluable like this only, but this team was extra special with Geoffrey & Tony igniting fires with their extra loud & enthusiastic energy.
