New age of cricket?

Is this the new age of cricket? Definitely not. This has always been happening, there have always been people helping this cause. Money was always the sole driver, just that it got bigger with this twenty twenty world cup. Some people like Jadeja probably got scrutinized but a lot of them never got caught.

Why would Hero Honda put in so much money when they do not sell a single bike in South Africa. I am not pointing fingers at anyone but just suggesting a theory which I believe in.

Twenty 20 was launched with just one thing in mind ‘more money’, and this form of cricket is definitely getting a lot of people more. Can this be an organized network of bookies advertisers and big money hoggers. I don’t know, but it very well looks like it might be. How else do you see a India-pak tie, a dramatic bowl out and then their re-meeting in the final. Why were the groups planned in such a way so that an India-Pakistan final is possible? Or was it because it was all decided well in advance.

Logically if this theory is correct India ought to win this match, and yes in a dramatic fashion as well. How else would the advertisers keep the Indian cricket lovers glued to their TV sets. How else could the coming Ind-Pak one day series be a hit and yeah not to mention the coming world cup 2011 in the sub-continent.
