South African cricketer, who can turn any match to his team’s favor single handedly, thinks Fives a good format. In this case, he went on to say all about Fives, a new format and it’s copyright, which only belongs to him. His idea here, I want to talk about keeping in mind the advantages of Fives.
Fives Excitement
If 50 overs game started and was successful besides playing tests and then T20, there’s other options as well. The UAE further reduced T20 cricket by bringing up T10, which is 10 over a side. Thus, in T10 game, each bowler can bowl a maximum of 2 overs. The T10 cricket is more exciting than the T20 because every batsman found swinging his bat with power and skills.
Toss not Crucial
Time has come to move forward a bit more. It’s considered by AB de Villiers that Fives can be played with three sets. Winner of the toss can choose to bat or bowl without thinking too much. And toss in Fives may not be crucial or winning it might not be more advantageous.
Fives Match
The team batting first in Fives try hitting the ball over the ropes and there’s all excitement. Thereon the side batting second will also hit hard and can take advantage to score more.
Now that even if the team, who scored more runs batting second, the match is unfinished. The scores if not level then toss may not happen. Third game of five will be played and the crowd will get excited as well to see what’s happening.
Third Fives will tell a different story. Well, some runs scored by any side batting first and then some runs scored by a side batting second. So, if their scores are equal in the two Fives toss will take place for the third Fives. If not, then the side, who scored more runs will bat first in the third Fives.
Their scores then calculated before the end of last innings of the third Fives, eventually a target is set. Sixth innings brings more excitement as the last one of the third Fives. Finally, who wins the match will be known as the target might be reached or not. These three sets should be played one after the other in front of the crowd with shorter breaks in between.
