twenty 20 Cricket Worldcup 2007

The Laws of cricket apply to Twenty20 with some exceptions:

* Should a bowler deliver a no ball by overstepping the popping crease, it costs 2 runs and his next delivery is designated a free-hit, from which the batsman can only be dismissed through a run out, for hitting the ball twice, obstructing the field or handling the ball, as is the case for the original "no ball".

* Bowlers may bowl a maximum of only 4 overs per innings.

* Umpires may award 5-run penalty runs at their discretion if they believe either team is wasting time.

* If the fielding team do not start to bowl their 20th over within 75 minutes, the batting side is credited an extra 6 runs for every whole over bowled after the 75 minute mark; the umpire may add more time to this, if he considers the batting team is wasting time.

* The following fielding restrictions apply:
o No more than 5 fielders can be on the leg side at any time.
o During the first 6 overs, a maximum of 2 fielders can be outside the 30-yard circle.
o After the first 6 overs, a maximum of 5 fielders can be outside the fielding circle.

* If the match ends with the scores tied and there must be a winner, the tie is broken with a bowl-out (similar to a penalty shoot-out in football), with 5 bowlers from each side delivering 2 balls each at an unguarded wicket. If the number of wickets is equal after the first 10 balls per side, the bowling continues and is decided by sudden death.

twenty 20 Cricket Worldcup 2007

I am just enjoying the super selector game with courtesy of Ahmedabadrocks.com and 94.4 FM

Talking about 20-20 cup....and India's chances

first time india is playing without our Trimurti (i.e. Sachin, Sourav and My favourite Jam Jam Jammy Dravid)
It is really opportunity for young fellows like, Rohit Sharma, Robin Utthapa and Piyush Chawla to show up....

I will keep watch on following players in India Cricket Team :
i. Yusuf Pathan
ii. Joginder Sharma

its golden opportunity for Guys like Sehwag, Harbhajan and Irfan Pathan............I am hoping that Pathan does not disappoint us ..because india badly needs an all rounder...............

Favourites to win this competition according to me is.........South Africa

For fans of Piyush Chawla...there is community Please join this:
