ODI losing its sheen...  

Recently started Champions trophy confirmed that ODI will only stand a change against T20 format if the matches are spiced up and the excitement does not die at any moment. Problem with ODI format is that middle overs are a slag and anybody who is athletic can doze off and so time consuming that I stopped watching the full match. I will only keep a track of scores and watch highlights as many indians do. If the matches are between a top team and a weak team, then Cricket can be called as the most pathetic competitive sport and boring game as evident from previous matches. Surprises are there but they are too few. Unlike football which is a fast paced and quite athletic, Cricket is all about big bellys and lazy old timers. Its time to change this perception by introducing athletic spirit and content like T20 format and lot of faster bowlers should crop up instead of pathetic spinners.
