England discovered Cricket but IPL re discovered the magic

              While watching today's match between Daredevils & Rajsthan Royal's I saw this play card. I find it very interesting. the game was devised during Saxon or Norman times by children living in the Weald, an area of dense woodlands and clearings in south-east England that lies across Kent and Sussex. The first official history of international Test cricket began in 1877. Than came LOI ( Limited Overs Internationals) or ODI,many of the "packaging" innovations, such as coloured clothing, were as a result of World Series Cricket, a "rebel" series set up outside the cricketing establishment by Australian entrepreneur Kerry Packer. Current form of 20-20 was again played in England in 2003.
  While these things were going on Lalit Modi one of the greatest business minds in sports was watching it quietly.
