MAX hits cricket fans for a Six

MAX

On Saturday and Sunday MAX will show the 'Cathay Pacific Standard Chartered Hong Kong Cricket Sixes'. Participants include archrivals India and Pakistan, World Cup Champions Australia, South Africa, Sri Lanka. This tournament will also provide vital exposure to minnows U.A.E. and Hong Kong.

Pakistan is represnted by fearsome pace bowler Wasim Akram, attacking opener Shahid Afridi. South African Jonty Rhodes will display his acrobatic ability on the field. Australia has former players Dean Jones, David Hookes and Greg Matthews.

Our side is led by all rounder Robin Singh. Sunil Gavskar's son Rohan will try to follow in the legendary opener's footsteps. Exciting youngsters Hemang Badani and Yuvraj Singh will also display their cricketing prowess.

There are two Pools of four teams. The top two teams in each Pool will compete for the Cup and the rest will settle for the Plate.

The game basically halves the normal one-day game version and promises to double the fun. Each team has six players bowling five overs. The side having the highest score at the completion of the game shall win. If both sides end up with the same score the side which has lost less wickets will win.

If there is still a tie less extra's and more sixes hit will factor in. Two points go to the winning side and any team losing a tied game gets one point.

Rajat Jain, Business Head, MAX, had these comments to make "Cathay Pacific Standard Chartered Hong Kong Cricket Sixes is more like a miniature Cricket World Cup, with some of the best teams, the same limited overs action, and definite and instant results too! We're really happy to be bringing all this live to the millions of cricket lovers who watch MAX."
