The Question of the Hour! Cricket!! Auro!!!

Dear Auro

I assume that you are playing Guru Gary and Abhaya Sharma poses these Questions to you which are are not exactly questions but some sort of premonitions about team India and the rise and rise of cricket not in India but in the world as well..

1. Is Sehwag going to make the fastest century in the game's shortest format. He must be determined to make it look possible. He may need to last just 30 balls for that.

2. Would Ganbhir be a better choice for leading the 20 compared to Yuvraj Singh in place of Dhoni. irst Dhoni must admit that he does not mind handing over the reins to another man.

3. Is there some scope for a true all-rounder to emerge in India for T20 games. Praveen Kumar and Irfan Pathan could both fill the bill. They need to be in the 15 before they can make it to playing XI.

4. Was India's victory in the first edition a gift of Misbah ul Haque. That only Haque could answer best. The man who accounted for him is another all-rounder Joginder Sharma, who is best forgotten by team India despite being a brillaint fielder.

5. Is there an analogy between India's lack of form in T20 Internationals and launching of IPL. The kind of money some individuals have made without proving their worth requires a review of their endorsements.

6. Would IPL open up itself to foreign teams participation in future to promote T20 and cricket on global scale.

7. Would BCCI allow some of the Indian players to play for other teams if they do not get enough opportunities with their present franchisees. Manish Pandey not playing all the games in Champions T20 league!

8. How and when would ICC allow more teams participation into world T20 cup instead of just picking top 2 teams from the non-test playing countries. I would love to see 24 teams participating in the next world cup. I know format and fixtures are already up!

9. How does BCCI take this proposition to have parallel cricket i.e. having Test and Limited overs cricket simultaneously. Say The Test team playing in England and Limited overs (ODI and T20 sides) playing in South Africa. people could choose to play one of it at a time and be allowed to switch roles.

10. Whether BCCI could allow an Inter-city Twenty 20 criceket featuring some top 20 Cities in the country and featuring only players f Indian origin. India could exhibit far more talent and unearth some of that for national duities from that large database of players. See, one does not have to depend upon some 30 to 40 players for national duty all the time though out the tournaments round the whole season and for years together.. Let them face competition from New Kids on the Blok.
