ONE DAY:
One Day Internationals (ODI’s) are a form of cricket matches which developed in the 1970’s to allow a match to be completed in a shorter amount of time than the five days required for a test match. When ODI’s were first introduced, many countries refused to take them seriously. In fact it wasn’t until 1975 when ODI’s became the standard form for Cricket World Cup matches, that they became an accepted and necessary alternative to test matches, due to the impossibility of exercising the ‘round robin’ format required by world cup matches with five day tests. ODI’s consist of fifty overs per side which are intended to be played in one day, although a ‘reserve day’ is often set aside for more important matches to allow a match more chance of being completed in poor weather conditions.
