7:30 min break after 10 Overs in IPL

[Team 20-20.in]

IPL games to take 15 minutes more
The IPL are planning to market the added time as an 'innovation' by
calling it a tactical 'time out' but the fact that each innings will
now come to a halt for seven-and-a-half minutes after exactly 10 overs
makes it neither tactical nor, indeed, practical.
"It is a move that is driven completely and totally by commercial
objectives," a senior production official told Cricinfo. "It is
designed purely to make even more money by selling airtime. Nobody
could argue that this adds any cricketing value to the tournament or
that it can be in the viewers' interest, either in the stadium or
watching at home," the official said.
The seven-and-a-half minute break will see the stadium crowd
entertained by a live band while television audiences will watch
three, separate two-and-a-half minute segments, two of which will be
sold commercially. The third will show the teams taking drinks and
discussing 'tactics' to add some validity to the argument for the
'time out.'
