Twenty20 is here to stay!




Twenty20 cricket has been projected as the thing of the future in Cricket.
It is entertaining and it's unpredictable which helps to make any game interesting for the audience. I do feel sad that, when the cricket pundits sat together to chalk out the T20 format, they completely ignored one tribe called bowlers. In fact they went on to make their job more tougher by introducing 'free hit'!

But this new format of the game will help lesser known and less experienced teams to surprise the giants with some shocking results. Shorter form of the game will surely help them to groom their players in a certain way to match the requirement. And the biggest advantage is they don't have to sustain their performace for a long duration unlike Test cricket and One Day International.
Frankly this format is too entertaining to ignore just as an experiment.
Being a lover of quality cricket, I have my own doubts about Twenty20 uplifting the quality of the game. But if this format can bring in more crowd and add in more competitive teams, let's say AYE to it!
