Cricket: Different method of scoring !!!!


Living in a country where cricket is a religion and millions are the follower, it's no prizes to guess that most of my friends too play cricket. We are not a very good batsman or the bowler or the fielder but still we carry a reputation of a good team.However i m not writing this blog to advertise my team cricketing skill, but this is just to make the world discover a little different method of scoring than the convention cricket rule where you have fours, sixes, three, twos, single. In our format also we have all these methods of scoring runs. However there is slight difference, that is, you score (-ve)4 if you loose wicket. Now this becomes a bit tricky that means when you get down to bat then as a team where you have 9 people to bat and you loose all wicket without scoring even a single still then your score would read (-ve)36. So you are always under pressure.Actually one of my friend asked me how much you people score in 5 overs, my response was a decent 20-25 runs and he stared laughing, but the moment i explained him our scoring methodology he went blank, because to score these many runs in this methodology is a great batting.

I was just imagining how interesting it would be if ICC start using above method of scoring runs, I guess may be or may be not we might see this being used in future.
