Boycott worried over ‘overkill’ of T20 by cricket boards
February 24th, 2010 - 3:23 pm ICT by ANIIslamabad, Feb.24 (ANI): Describing Twenty-20 cricket as an exciting form of the game, former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott has however warned that an excess of the slam bang version could have catastrophic effects on the game.
“It’s a fun and exciting form of the game and the public loves it. My fear though is that cricket boards around the world don’t overkill this form of the game. You have to hand the BCCI a lot of credit for introducing the IPL, but there are a number of cricket boards now jumping onto the bandwagon,” Boycott told PakPassion.net
“You can get too much of a good thing. I like steak and kidney pie, but if my wife gives me the same thing every day, I’d be ready to throw it at her after a few days,” the former England great added. (ANI)
