Twenty20 Cricket

What is everyone views?

I'm in favour of it --- it's a very exciting game. (except for our school one hey 619)

I rekon the twenty20 is a good new asset to the game and alot of fun... I rekon it will become apart of cricket now, with it being the first match in every series between countries so for expamle AUS vs England. Frist match would be twenty20 then the next one will be test then back to ODI

Lol the school one were having is KING im about to bat with 10 ovas left ;D

I'm heavily against it. All it does is ruin's a player's Test and One-Day game. It defeats the purpose of batting. When a player does bat, his main goal should be to get his eye in and sit out his start, but in the twenty20 they just go wild. Also, the No Ball free hit is stupid. What if I decide to go behind my stumps, and accidentlly KO the keeper with my swing? The game has many flaws.

Slogging like that is the best way to get ur eye in and it also helps boost the players confidence before the true series between international countrues begins.. also is a form reseter in good and bad ways

[Lance]

Unless timed well, slogging will cause your downfall. Rather than hitting over, hit it in the ground and work the consistent singles and twos, and if lucky maybe a four. It is entertaining... but just isn't as authentic...

Well, if you go behind the stumps you'd be pretty dumb to swing...

It is actually a good strategy. Gives you more reaction time to hit the ball, as you have that extra .5 of a second.

Like what Brad Haddin did but just let it go...

It would certainly be bizarre to see.
