I was initially apposed to T20 Cricket, But now I have seen the greatness that it can provide.

It is a common problem that we have too much cricket. and i think getting rid of ODIs is the way to reduce this. T20 cricket is definitely better than ODI cricket. ODI cricket has turned into a one day test match.

It is more tactical than ODIs and there isn't a huge advantage batting first, maybe even a disadvantage. You get much closer contests and there is more tactics involved. There is also more big hits.

I agree Test match cricket is the pinnacle, but when you go to the limited overs format there should be a huge difference not a small difference.

I can't see what everyones problem is with T20, they just say they hate it and dont give a reason.

I did a little bit of research and the amount of 50's scored per match in T20 is only a little smaller than ODIs, and getting a 100 is a much bigger accomplishment.

In ODIs the big scores stop after number 5. in t20 its number 4, so not a huge difference. Your top 4 should do all the work in limited overs formats. Also both formats have a big hitter at the end at about 6-7. So really if you stop to think about there isn't a lot different between the 2 formats except one is more exciting than the other. Plus T20 cricket lends itself to a huge amount of innovations. I think there should be cricket (test matches) than Twenty20 a completely different sport.
 
I am actually starting to hate this. :p
 
It has it's own charm, but can't beat tests.

I don't see why anyone would be 'apposed' to a certain aspect of cricket. It's all cricket.

You are kidding right? Do you just read the "Twenty20 sucks because" part of peoples long posts explaining why it's ████?

Now after the NSW win, you've just made us all look like hypocrytes.

Not really, because he supports WA. NSW won the Big Bash and it didn't make me like T20. They won this and I still don't like it. I think most NSW supporters that never liked T20 are the same.
 
I still hate it, and an Aussie team winning doesn't change my mind. Only good once or twice a year,
 
a pretty interesting read and thread coming from an aussie.
cant wait to see how it unfolds ! :D
 
I dont mind a few matches but I hate things like the IPL. Test cricket is still the best.
 
There is only one thing like IPL. So not much left to hate. :p
 
dont like em, dont follow them. I keep up with the IPL and keep track of the scores and such but Im still a fan of test match cricket.

ahhh..thats good to hear.:)
i thought you were one of those "Bash IPL for no reason" members.
 
I think T&T and Jamaica should be in IPL3.
 
I find nothing wrong with T20, i'd rather watch a T20 match then Test coz Tests are soo boring, I even prefer T20 over ODI, simply because I can watch it without sleeping
