Bramley Famli

Here’s an article (DotBall gets recognition) from The Times of India dated 10 Feb 2003. Brought back some nice memories as I read it. Of course doesn’t hurt that my name is mentioned : )

The dot ball development is the brainchild of two South African cricket fans from Durban, Roger Scholtz and Barrie Bramley, who latched on to its importance last year and shared their idea with CWC 2003.

I have an interest in Cricket. It’s been a long road of interest for a guy who isn’t a cricket nut in any way shape or form. But I do know a great idea, especially when I’m a large part of it. One day I hope to tell the full successful story of how I’m involved. For now, it’s darn hard work.

T20 has revolutionised cricket. It’s placed cricket firmly in the space of ‘Extreme-Sport’. It still lacks the regular possibility of death : ) but for shear excitement and action it’s a darn good attempt. So it’s little wonder that this article (Twenty20 could kill tests) had my attention. It’s a worthwhile read if you’re interested in cricket in any way shape or form. Especially if you spend any time wondering where it’s all headed?

“I consider myself optimistic, but it isn’t difficult to look ahead and see the pessimists’ apocalyptic version of the future of the game – where Tests are virtually redundant, Twenty20 saturates and players are globe-trotting mercenaries.”
