Different format rules applying to indoor cricket world cup

Sports

Though all forms of indoor cricket world cup are played at the same grounds mainly using the same equipment, there are subtle changes in certain areas. When Test Match Cricket was first played each over consisted of eight legal balls bowled. A legal ball is one that is bowled according to the rules of cricket and is not a 'no-ball' or a 'wide'.

Let us consider what we fans saw in the 2007 edition held in West Indies. The tournament turned to be a financial disaster after team India was out from it at early stage. As an aftermath, fans in millions switched off their TV sets. Indian broadcasters lost advertising revenues in millions. This time, to ensure 2007 is not repeated, the tournament is such designed that the big teams stay in, especially the Indian team.
