Ricky to Retire from T20I
Ricky Ponting has announced his retirement from international Twenty20 cricket. However, he will continue to lead the Australian side in the ODIs and Test matches. He has also said that he will continue playing for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL.
Ponting has taken this decision to prolong his test match and ODI career, and has seemed to gone in a direction opposite to what most cricketers have been going; that is, to retire from the longer format to concentrate on the T20Is and get the riches in.
The decision was conveyed to the chief selector, coach and the current vice-captain, Michael Clarke, who will now take over the reigns of the T20I side. Clarke had captained the T20I side in Ponting’s absence, and currently is also leading the Aussie team in the ODIs as Ponting is back in Australia, resting. However, a formal decision in that regard has not been taken given that the Aussies next play another T20I in February next year only.
Recently, Australia had lost their Ashes series to England, and Ponting had expressed his desire to come back to England and win a test series here. However, the next series in the country will only be in 2013, which makes it difficult for the dream to become reality.

Jacob Oram celebrates the wicket of Nuwan Kulasekera, Sri Lanka v New Zealand, 1st Twenty20, Colombo, September 2, 2009
Despite Tilakaratne Dilshan’s continuous batting exuberance, the Sri Lankan side collapsed like nine pins while chasing a target of 142 for a win against New Zealand to lose the first T20I by three runs.
With only 142 needed for a win, the Sri Lankan side had raced off to 67/2 in less than seven overs, and needed only 75 runs in 13 overs for a win with eight wickets standing. A walk in the park? Not when you have a middle-order like the Lankans’ in this game. It capitulated like nine pins and there was not a single player who could guide the team to a victory after the Dilshan blitzkrieg (57 off 28 deliveries).
Earlier, the Kiwis had scraped their way up to 141 as well. Again, it was a one-man show, with Ross Taylor taking up the attack to the Lankan spinners. He smashed a 45-ball 60, but there was only Martin Guptill to support him with an innings of 29. Jesse Ryder was the only other batsman to get to double figures with a 13 to his name!

Shane Warne has called out to put an end to the fifty overs format and have only test matches and the T20s being played. According to the former leg-spinner from Australia, the fifty overs format is past its sell-by date and it does not make too much sense to continue playing it.
Warne accepted that it was a big call to make – given the history – but had no doubts that it had ceased to be interesting enough.
In fact, the T20 cricket was introduced by England after the first class features in the four-day and forty overs cricket was found to be dying a slow death and hence the counties had been running into huge losses. With the introduction of the T20 cricket, the coffers have been buzzing again for the counties.
There have been many such calls in the past as well, but the ICC has not yet come out with a statement regarding this.
According to me, it is difficult to put a format to sleep, especially if the audiences still flock to watch the game and if there is a market for it. It also does seem that between redundant test matches and ODIs, the former will be the first to die, but having an ODI series with seven matches was clearly over-stepping the limits, especially after an exciting Ashes series like the one played earlier.
