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. 9789350293713
