	Cricinfo - Cricket explained
		Having said that, here is a basic description of how cricket is played: At the center of the cricket grounds (or field) is a rectangular area, called the "pitch", which is 22 yards (20.12 m) long by 10 feet (3.04 m) wide.
		During an over, if no runs are scored (a "maiden over") or runs are scored only in even numbers of runs, the bowler may face the same batsman for all six balls.
		So there is no concept in cricket corresponding precisely with an "at-bat" in baseball: two batsmen are really batting at the same time, with the one who happens to be at the end opposite the bowler at a given time receiving the deliveries.

		As expected, the Captains are simply rolling these over into successive restrictions in the first 20 overs and to me, all it has really done is slow overs 15-20 down more than they were previously.
		The question of momentum in overs 15-40 is down to the batting team and the situation they find themselves in.
		It has actually been the thirst for runs and the flat wickets produced to get them that has led to this situation where 4 milked runs per over and preservation of wickets for 25 overs for a 10 over blast at the end.
