	One-day cricket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		One-day cricket is a version of the sport of cricket that is completed in one day, as distinct from Test cricket and first-class cricket which can take up to five days to complete.
		One-day cricket is popular with spectators as it can encourage aggressive, risky, entertaining batting, often results in cliffhanger endings, and ensures that a spectator can watch an entire match without committing to five days of continuous attendance.
		However, many fans of Test match cricket regard it as ignoring the skills of bowlers, prone to random results not reflective of the relative skill of the teams, and with modern one-day tactics where batsmen take few risks outside the first and last few overs, lacking in the claimed excitement.

		That cricket is so well prepared for its post-war activities is due to such as Sir Pelham Warner, who have kept it so vigorously alive during the emergency years.

		After months of uncertainty regarding the sponsorship of the new competition, English cricket’s governing body were keen on using the event to advertise the recruitment of three major backers in the shape of energy company npower, the reward card group Nectar and electronics giant Philips.
