Over the past seventeen years this format has grown leaps and bounds and is very keenly watched by all stakeholders involved with the game. The popularity and the growth of T20 has led to cricket boards taking this format with uttermost seriousness and every major cricket playing nation has its own international team and domestic league. Over the past seventeen years the strategies involved in succeeding in this format have also evolved and teams at the international, franchise and domestic level are trying to evolve their playbook to gain a comparative advantage. Seventeen years since T20 cricket started, preparation for matches globally have changed from casual chats in team meetings. For coaches and captains, dossiers of 25 pages are common; these dissect the opponent's strengths and weaknesses, suggest set-plays, which are the optimum ways that a bowler can set up a batsman, and explain the best parts of the ground to target and which end might suit each bowler best This research paper will delve into a potential winning strategy for a T20 side.

USHA M RODRIGUES on the Australian media's responses to the cricket controversies Down Under. Posted/Updated Tuesday, Jan 08 16:06:48, 2008 The hot controversy of banning the Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh from three test matches two days ago, and the falling out between the Australian and Indian cricket teams have caught the Australian media by surprise. The oxymoron of 'fair sports coverage' is on stark display during this crisis in the International cricket contest between India and Australia. There are a number of issues plaguing the current cricket sports coverage from Sydney and elsewhere of the crisis, where Indian cricket team has threatened to abandon the Australian tour after two test matches. The Indian cricket players are incensed by the 'unfair' ruling on one of their players, when Australian players continue to play the game 'hard' and allegedly indulge in sledging more than any other cricket team.

    Abstract This Article Presents the Findings of 2,415 Posts Collected

    Abstract This article presents the findings of 2,415 posts collected from two prominent Australian Football League message boards that responded to a racist incident involving a banana being thrown at Adelaide Crows player, Eddie Betts, in August 2016. It adopts Bourdieu’s concept of habitus to examine the online practice of fans for evidence of racist discourse and the extent to which this was supported or contested by fellow fans. The overall findings are that online debates about race in Australian Rules Football and wider Australian society remain divided, with some posters continuing to reflect racial prejudice and discrimination towards non-whites. However, for the vast majority, views deemed to have racist connotations are contested and challenged in a presentation centering on social change and racial equality. Port Adelaide have indefinitely banned the woman who ignited a racism controversy by throwing a banana at Indigenous star Eddie Betts. The Power completed an investigation into the ugly incident after speaking with the club member on Sunday, concluding it was racially motivated. Betts was targeted by the fan in Saturday night’s 15-point Showdown victory by the Crows at Adelaide Oval. The supporter was seen waving her middle finger at Betts before throwing the banana in his direction. Betts had just kicked his fifth goal in a near best-afield showing during his 250th AFL game, and did not notice the incident. Port Adelaide chairman David Koch said before the club spoke with the woman that he’d be “absolutely disgusted” if racism was found to be the motivation. “We’re a club, we’re an industry, we’re a code that doesn’t shirk away from these sorts of incidents,” he said.

    Is Australian Cricket Racist?

    Is Australian cricket racist? What they said… ‘There wasn’t a match I wasn’t racially abused in when I went out to bat’ John McGuire, an Indigenous player who is second in the all-time run-scoring list for the first-grade competition in Western Australia ‘We have to be vigilant against any comments, against any actions, even though it’s conducted by only a very small minority of people’ New South Wales premier Gladys Berejiklian warning cricket fans against making racially abusive comments The issue at a glance On January 9. 2021, on day three of the India vs Australia test match being played on the Sydney Cricket Ground, India captain Ajinkya Rahane and other senior players spoke to the umpires at the end of play. It was subsequently revealed that they were alleging racist abuse from some sections of the crowd. On January 10, play was stopped for eight minutes following claims of more alleged abuse. At least six fans were removed from their seats for allegedly making racist comments after Mohammed Siraj ran in from the fine-leg boundary, alerting teammates before umpires passed on the message to security and police. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/jan/10/india-report-alleged-racist-abuse-from-scg- crowd-during-third-test A subsequent enquiry confirmed that racial abuse had occurred; however, the six spectators who had been escorted from the stadium were not the perpetrators. https://www.skysports.com/cricket/news/12123/12200065/cricket-australia-confirms-india- players-were-racially-abused-in-sydney-six-fans-cleared The incident has provoked significant discussion regarding the extent of racism in Australian cricket.

'Sledging is a clear example of inter-player maltreatment in sport that can pose a significant threat to the well-being of the individual' Keith D. Parry, a lecturer in Sport Management and Emma Kavanagh, a lecturer in Sports Psychology and Coaching Sciences 'On the pitch, it's pretty much a war, isn't it? There are always going to be a few words, and I think that's pretty much how people want to watch cricket being played' The captain of the English team, Alastair Cook The issue at a glance On November 25, 2013, the captain of the Australian cricket team, Michael Clarke, was fined 20 percent of his match fee after having been detected sledging during the final day of the first Ashes Test. The stump microphone picked up Clarke threatening English bowler and lower order batsman James Anderson with 'Get ready for a broken f***ing arm. Two days before Australian batsman, David Warner, had said of English batsman Jonathan Trott that he was 'pretty weak'. Trott later withdrew from the Ashes competition and return to England after it was revealed that he was suffering from a stress-related disorder. Though there is no suggestion that Warner's comment caused Trott's condition the two episodes have lead to renewed debate that about the extent of sledging in cricket, the harm it causes and whether stronger action should be taken against it.
