Cricket eyes Twenty20 for 2020 Olympics

BEIJING (Agencies): As players from around the world backed former Australia wicket-keeper Adam Gilchrist's call for Twenty20 cricket to become an Olympic sport, officials said it would take another 12 years at least for it to get on the Games roster.

Gilchrist, in his column for Indian daily the Deccan Chronicle, said Monday: "It doesn't matter where the 2020 Olympic Games are held but many of us who've experienced international Twenty20 cricket and the IPL (Indian Premier League) are convinced that cricket should bid to become a

Eta Vs. Peony: Which Star Will Go Supernova First?

The reigning champion for brightest star in the Milky Way is Eta Carinae, a highly unstable star prone to violent outbursts. Astronomers say Eta Car's life will probably end in 100,000 years or so with a supernova explosion. That's relatively soon in cosmic terms. But the Spitzer Space Telescope has unearthed a contender, both in brightness and in the supernova competition, found in the dusty depths of our galaxy's center. Astronomers say the Peony nebular star might be as bright as Eta. But the biggest question may be, which star will be the first to go supernova?

SRI Lanka's legendary former captain Arjuna Ranatungatoday urged players to preserve Test cricket in the face of the challenge posed by the lucrative Twenty20 format. Ranatunga, who led his country to their only World Cup title in 1996, also said the players needed to focus more on Tests. "You need Twenty20 to get more money, but ultimately you have to realise that Test cricket is the major thing," said Ranatunga, who is also the chairman of Sri Lanka Cricket. "It's very important to preserve Test cricket. When it comes to Twenty20, it's more like a business as far as I am concerned." His comments came a few days after his country's cricketers asked for next year's hastily-arranged Test tour of England to be rescheduled as the dates clashed with the Indian Premier League (IPL).
