 | One has to only look at the way One-Day Internationals are currently scheduled to appreciate the need for such a structured approach. |
 | The above Triangular One-day schedule fits in perfectly with the PWC schedule for test matches, and all the ten test playing nations, including Bangladesh & Zimbabwe, take part in three one-day triangular tournaments every season, one at home and two away. |
 | The selection of the ICC-member teams could be on the basis of their qualification to the One-Day International World-Cup. |

Limited overs cricket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2165 words) |
 | In a one-day cricket match, each team bats only once, and each innings is limited to a set number of overs, usually fifty in a One-day International and between forty and sixty in a List A domestic one-day match. |
 | 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. |
 | One-day International matches are usually played in brightly coloured clothing (leading some to give it the unflattering nickname pyjama cricket), and often in a "day-night" format where the first innings of the day occurs in the afternoon and the second occurs under stadium lights. |
