Brave New Pitch: The Evolution Of Modern Cricket
https://www.midlandbookshop.com/s/607fe93d7eafcac1f2c73ea4/60ba425d19faf34f255d8a01/9789350293713.jpg
Cricket as we know it may soon be no more. Thanks to Twenty20 technology media and the sheer financial power of Indian cricket the gentleman's game is on the brink of radical changes. Nation-based cups might give way to T20 professional leagues; umpires might be replaced by technology; and professional franchises not national boards might call the shots. Could cricket go the way of professional football? Will Test cricket survive in an entertainment-driven field? Will television rights deals determine the nature of the game? This upheaval has been accompanied by conflict between the old guard - England and Australia - and the new boss India. If the spirit of cricket is to survive these changes it requires the balancing of economic political and sporting imperatives. The game must find a way to remain a financially solvent global sport that caters to the changing tastes of its fans and players by creatively using new media and limited-overs cricket. In Brave New Pitch Samir Chopra takes a hard look at cricket's tumultuous present and considers what could and should lie ahead.
