I think T&T and Jamaica should be in IPL3.

I would like it only because it would bring finance into WI cricket and get these players exposed internationally.

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

Twenty20 is by far the most boring format of cricket.

 

[Cricketdude]

It's more exciting but definitely not as good as the other formats.

 

[mattfb]

No. It's dead rubber way to often. The first 5 overs are exciting. Then if the opposition takes an early wicket or 2 it becomes boring.

 

[Cricketdude]

Not really. Remember what Pollard did earlier in the tournament when everyone thought it was all over.

 

[mattfb]

Nope. lawl

T20 is good, so long as it's not done. The Champions League is alright I suppose, the IPL barely bearable, but needs to be shorter.

Internationals are pretty good, but 2 or 3 per summer, max!

Test cricket is still my favourite but I wouldn't be disappointed if T20 took over ODIs.
I agree IPL gets boring if you watch every match, but so would soccer if you watched every match of the season and so would any sport. You only watch the team you follow. and if you only watch matches your interested in, than you enjoy it. I love IPL watching my greatest idol ever Haydos playing. I am always on the edge of my seat. I like the CLT20 coz i get to watch Ozzy teams play that I wouldn't be able to watch otherwise. T20 is great but you do need to treat it more like football and less like cricket.

I like T20 cricket because it is only of 3 hours,more interesting and adventures to see....
more big hits as well as Big tits of cheerleaders :happy

[Dare]

ODI > T20 always. T20 is mostly all about batting. Tests are brutal but noway can anyone follow an entire test series by watching every day of it, becomes too boring (unless its Ind/Pak, Ind/Aus or Ashes, for me that is), cameras go on people in the stadium that fall asleep.

50 ODI is where its at.

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.

This is coming from an Aussie fan. What was it that, that Australian team New South Wales did in T20 cricket recently. I can't quite remember. I know it's somethign pretty impressive though :sarcasm

 

[Sureshot]

Twenty 20 brings Cricket in to the 21st century. It gives the mass populous of sports lover a reason to watch cricket.

T20 in itself, is what cricket needs (bare in mind I work at a cricket club and see the difference it makes, which is monumental). The problem isn't with the format, it's with the lack of a unified view of how the format should be put in to action. It lacks any structure at international and this is the issue with the game. I'd say a lack of structure affects the other two formats too, I strongly think the ICC should create a standardised tour.

I'd say more than half of genuine cricket fans would watch every day. I most certainly do and if I can't it's because I have other things on.
