Dear Rasikas,

Here is a small quiz.

There is a Link between One Day Cricket match and playing music.

One aspect in the One day match and one aspect in the music should be interchanged for the best results in each of them.

What is it and your explanation for the necessacity to change.

Post me your replies.

Ok, first take

Replays ?!!

If you avoid cricket replays in TV/ giant screen, cricket will be much better

If violinits replay vocalist's manodharamas as it is, music will be much better :)

Cheerleaders for programmed and predictable audience applause after swara-round (whether or not artiste pulled it off correctly). Make a virtue out of an inevitability.

Artistes on stage getting a chance to jog in place and to stretch themselves and players in the field getting a few minutes of all sitting down and resting...

nidhanam - bad in one-day (most of the time)
nidhanam - good in cm (most of the time)

Umpires can signal 4 with an avarthanam of catusra ekam :)

In one day cricket match , irrespective of the ground each team bowls 50 overs and take roughly 3 hours plus. :)

In CM concerts , artist just count 2 hours and disappear almost all the time. :(

In cricket , when there is fireworks all in the audience will sit glued .
In CM, when there is fireworks (tani avarthAnam) most of the audience will melt away.

Some more attempts :

Cricket will be exciting with more run outs
Music will be better with no run outs during thani !

Audience love cricket if they break the tradition (Thats how ODI, T20 and dhonis batting style are appreciated)
Rasikas dont enjoy if music breaks the tradition ( so many discussions on this !)

Unpredictable pitches make cricket exciting
Unpredictable pitches in music are not appreciated

Cricket will be better without stump mikes ( you dont hear sledges ,... )
Music will be better without mike stumpings ( how many times music system has stumped us)

Boundaries make cricket interesting and exciting
Music will be superb if there are no boundaries !

To be taken in light sense :)
--------------------------------------

Cricketers should not be vocal (sledging)
Musicians should be more vocal !

Cricket will be good if partnership builds !
Music will be better without partnership builds ( same vocalist , violinist, mrudhangist combo...)

Cricket will be good for the sponsors with more drinks break !
Music will be good without any drinks break !


Cricket will be interesting if players play to the stands ( sixers)
Music will be better if it is not played to the stands (audience request)

One power play of 30 mins to be taken by the violinist, wherein he poses the saval and vocalist has to come up with the jawab!

a giant scoreboard giving details of ragam, talam, lyrics etc. May be one can have an expert commentator analysing the concert giving blow by blow description of the concert live, but that will be more like a live chess match rather than a cricket match, where experts do live analysis for the audience running thru several possible lines and trying to predict the next move/moves. The earphone in each chair giving one an option to opt or not to opt for the experts view.

Spectator running on to the cricket field with a request in the form of a chit in which instead of a thukkada request you have request for a hook over square leg or a cut bisecting two sweepers at cover boundary.

In cricket, a big six is always appreciated by the crowd
In cm, the "big six" are always appreciated by the crowd.

balsree: loved the ones about unpredictable pitches, and boundaries :) !

Cricketers and CM musicians both Appeal.
One to the umpire and the other to the Lord

QUIZ.

Since the postings to the above topic have become dormant after 10.04.2009, it is better to know the answers for the quiz from my side now.

I am happy to see the various interesting replies’ to the quiz’. All comments from the Rasikas are good. However the comments of the few following posts have impressed me more.
1. Post No.8 from coolji.
An umpire for the concert - signaling no ball for a sruthi Lapse , wide for a butchering of sahitya , powerplay for unbridled brigha sessions .....
a small radel atop the stumps , humming the relevant perfect pitch - so that the nervous batsman , instead of tapping the ground after a false stroke, can go and twiddle with the screws and settle his nerves.
2. Post no.5 from rajumdas."

:) Wanted to share one more but i thought the thread is almost closed. !

Here it goes

Referrals (third umpire) in cricket makes it interesting
Referrals (Paper, Note, Books while singing) in music makes it non-interesting !

one-day cricket can do without RTP (Rest day, Tea-time, Partnerships)
Better be a RTP in kutcheri! (I mean Ragam tanam Pallavi)
