T20 cricket’s giant leap

It has been six days since Carlos Brathwaiat 6.6, 6, 6 Garden of Eden. But such visits are still playing on a loop in your minds. It prompts you to consider if what I saw that night was just an extraordinary hit under tremendous pressure, or something more rare: an evolutionary leap for T20.
Brathwaiat effort in her beauty device, and in the urgency - coming as it did in the most important phase in the biggest stage of the game - remind you of another incident in a sport that appeared to defy gradient: Usain Bolt 9.69s to win the 100 in Beijing in 2008. Bolt has achieved with some gas in the tank. By the end of it, too Brathwaiat left no doubt he had launched 19.5 and 19.6 in space and he does not run out of runs.
Now, as then, the question is: how fast can we go?
The eve of the ninth edition of the IPL, Ravichandran Ashwin and predicted more misery for the film - bowlers.
"In general, I think that T20 cricket might have gone to the highest degree, in the last year or two. The game has definitely evolved, and it is important to keep an eye on the evolution of the game. When I saw the final, Carlos Brathwaiat just came in and broke it. It's getting in this region, where they engage in a game of power. people do not detain back.They passing from the first ball to the 20 on. "he said outside the rotor and possibly the nominal tens turn suddenly, and by the time you realize it will be a few years, before the opening game between Mumbai Indians and Pune Giants.
He said that the need of the hour for teams to catch the new breed of cricket being played.
How easy it would be for other teams to repeat what he did to the West Indies? Which demands another question: What, in fact, and the West Indies do?
Among the images of the celebrations after winning in Calcutta, there was one window to capture accurately the campaign story of the West Indies in the World T20 2016: 11 carved groups of six bare packages, big biceps and broad shoulders biceps taking a lap of honor around the Garden of Eden.
The sheer physical beatings breadth, and Uamgaha - and a belief borne out of it - that eviscerated England and India in the game before that. He used to say that the West Indies did it largely without the help of Chris Gayle, for example in the modern strength tone of the times, but the one who made only nine runs in four games after winning 47-ball ton against England in the opening Group 1 match at Wankhede . The reason for the success of the West Indies, and that is perfectly captured in that picture shirt, take off their clothes that they explode with layers of muscle room - probably the most brown you see under one roof outside the ring WWE Royal Rumble.
The smart strategy that they do not have one, Chris Gayle, they had seven to eight Gayles in a century. In doing so, he canceled this possibility miserable, "What if Chris Gayle not called?" This explains the self-cache had the West Indies in the final match of confidence when they were 03/11 in the third set was over, or when they were 107 / 6in in 16 over and asking run rate was hovering around 12, or when they are needed 19 off the last over he was the main man Marlon Samuel in the non-striker's end. When the need arose for big hits, there was always Andre Russell, an Andre Fletcher, or Carlos Brathwaiat ready to do the job.
Tall, big racket
Fast bowling legend and coach of West Indies bowling curtly Ambrose revealed after the game: "We believe that we can chase any target. If 40 of the last over, we question it. But if it is 30, and we had thought."
I bet you he was a different thought on March 14 20 years ago, 1996, in Mohali - as we all know - when it was administered it appeared Courtney Walsh of the locker room to face Damien Fleming with six needed from the last four balls to send the team until the finals world Cup.
There is little indulgent digression here. Ambrose and Walsh are exinct types today: tall, the essence of West Indian fast bowler, who was so bloody good. Sentenced keeper 80s, frequency-friendly wickets, bats and wide, Twenty20, basketball, athletics and what does not conspired to push him over the edge. The applicant has blurry footage is HD, on YouTube today. Or, go out once in awhile in the evocative documentary films such as Fire in Babylon.
Or is it? Look around you. Did not return silently, medium pace severe tone for the all-rounder, when we were looking for with anticipation for the next Garner, Holding, or Ambrose? He was born on July 18, 1968 instead of July 18, 1988, Brathwaiat, it can be assumed safely, will destiny cricket may be largely put in front of him: I was six feet seven, here, take this ball and throw it in a hitter as soon as possible. Philosophically, he is doing the same things: all, in these times have changed and the form, he is smashing the ball as hard as he can. West Indies adapted too, has evolved. So, instead of the four or five intimidating fast bowlers in the atheist ten and the West Indies now has five four-year (or more) fearsome power hitters. Now, as then, the net effect on the opposition for the same show: dread that you can not escape.
This, then, is the way to other countries and clubs in T20S?
It was the West Indies tradition of a large free spirited tone. Gary Sobers hit six sixes in more than in 1968, with the bat lowest Reap. Vivian Richards was arguably the first batsman in the modern era. In some way, it has been synthesized this tradition in the making of this winner of the current T20 team.
RCB and cracked it?
For many of the other national teams, do what I did the West Indies may not be easy. In India, for example, where the value of cohesion, power hitter - there's not too much to begin with - will always have a sword dangling over his head. Then again, the likes of Russell, Bravo, Sammy Brathwaiat (even the man who replaced in the lineup, Pollard) are also very handy bowlers medium speed. Bravo and Brathwaiat, apart from recording the decisive runs, also took three wickets each to restrict England cursed level 155. The constant lament MS Dhoni to the lack of choice in all respects credible, especially the pan-medium pace rounder.
Moreover, in India gained way Virat Kohli of low-risk, high large currency gains, especially in the wake of the victory over Australia in the quarter-finals Virtual Group 2. In the semi-final too, it took almost the hosts on the brink of victory with 47 ball 89 *.
One of the hallmarks of his hits in those two knocks to reduce the number of balls points. He converted zeros in singles and singles in binary, which prompted Shoaib Akhtar call those runs "behtareen" (very good) before the semifinals. This Virender Sehwag, almost prophetically, he replied: "Shoaib, Orr singles doubles behtareen Nahi his hotel, spiny Ur chhakke behtareen Hot Hain." (Singles and doubles are never very good, very good and four sixes). Which would prove the messengers of the right to later that night.
The formula of the West Indies, in theory, is that it is easier to repeat in the cricket franchise, where you have to assemble and is now producing team. In 2014, followed by the kings of Punjab atheist ten similar strategy to some extent, and it almost paid off. This year, he added Royal Challengers Bangalore Shane Watson to the muscle they already have in the form of Gayle and AB de Villiers. They have silk and surefootedness of Virat Kohli. On paper, it looks as irresistible put Cooley in the West Indies team. In theory, combine beaten in the end.
