Why T20 sucks...

[Kev]

Surely that's the Daredevils problem, its a tad unfair to blame the format for a players non-selection.

ohh no! T20 bash!

I agree. The DD officials acted like idiots and they got the result in the semi-final. It has nothing to do with the format.

Twenty20 is going to be the life engine thats going to be used to keep cricket alive pretty soon. Those who dont like T20 cricket, they are just not willing to accept that it has overtaken the other formats in INTEREST. It has already started a debate of whether the other forms will live or not. I can easily see a situation in the future where T20 games will be played like ODI's and test cricket will be played as it is (only between the top associate nations). One good thing that T20 will do is, minnows wont be so eager to jump into the test bandwagon. So we might see the quality of test cricket go up. Now they have T20 to make a name for their country in international cricket. So even if they dont get test status, they wont be dejected or whatever.

ODI's - I think ODI's might suffer big because its in between the two formats. ODI's were basically the entertainment package which differentiated it from tests. Now T20 offers more entertainment than ODI. And the duration of the format wont matter because even in ODI's, a minnow team can beat a top team if its their day (though chances of that happening are far lesser than it happening in a T20).

And lets face it, ODI cricket is far from perfect. The middle overs are incredibly dull. In a few years time T20 will emerge and get even bigger than it already is.

Lets just pray it doesn't effect test cricket, or ODI cricket too much and it just turns into it's own little game.

All matches showed the tiredness of IPL and other players in T20 wc

ODI wont die, ther is some time for a team to comeback in the match even after a bad start. Also there is more strategy and planning involved. Temas like Bangladesh can play better for 15 or 20 overs. But when it comes to 50 overs they show their real colors. I always prefer ODI and Test cricket to T20 cricket.

What! Bangladesh suck more in T20s
