He I am sure is caring very deeply over this tournament.

If Australia wants to play in these things they should send specialist teams. These sorta ODI sides we send are retarded. Just pick a bunch of t20 specialists and have the others sneak into county teams

There is potential Lee might play for Australia in the Ashes when we just beat South Africa with no Lee in sight. I would criticise him walking down the road. Ask IPA my thoughts on Lee

So when aussies lose the ashes, they'll be like'oh we only care about the 50 over game, but we'll laugh at england whenever they lose in 20/20'

No, if Australia loses the Ashes we aren't going to pretend to not care about Test cricket. Can't you remember 2005 or something?

Losing 2005 was one of the darkest days in Australian cricket. If we lose the Ashes this time it won't be QUITE as bad but it would still be terrible.

Thats why it wouldn't be so bad to lose. I sorta don't know what to expect to be honest. I think there is good potential in the Australian line up but i am terrified the selectors are going to make poor decisions.

I could cop losing this series to be honest. It will be close anyway.

I cannot remember the last time Australia lost to an Associate member. In fact I cannot recall it ever happening... when did England last lose to an Associate Member

I don't like 20/20 but it's always shit to lose to crap teams. Windies are pretty crap, Holland are worse. At least Australia lost through a brilliant Chris Gaylre performance, we basically defeated ourselves, which is the worst thing. Mentally weak.

Twenty 20 is a bit of a crap shoot though. It's like baseball, any team can win on any given day. They should play a best of series like baseball. I'm not suggesting a best of 7 in the world cup because that would take too much time but it should be at least a best of 3.

One game against each team in the group is ridiculous. Each team should play each other at least twice. Then a best of 3 series in the knockouts.

Alright, you'd have a million games then. Can't see there being sufficient demand for tickets. Plus lots of meaningless/cancelled games.

There's only 12 teams in the damn thing, it wouldn't take long at all. Each team in each group playing each other twice, that's only 6 games per group. You can get The group stages over within a week. Then another few days for the knockouts, that's 2 weeks tops. Where are the meaningless games coming from?

Wouldn't work in this tournament, mainly because its a short tournament anyway and the ashes is straight after. Its just basically a warm up to get everybody in to the ashes series.

Twenty 20 is not the future of the fucking game. It is a bit of a giggle.

I know lots of shallow stupid people think anything that takes longer than an hour and a half is boring but they are stupid and shallow and should not be pandered to. The game is more important than making a few quid in the short term. It's a pity the people in charge are businessmen rather than sportsmen. This is one area we could actually learn something from America.

Its the IPL that's ruining it abit, with all the money going there. And we play a lot of cricket in this country, something has to give. I hope not though, i love all forms of the game.

The game is more important than making a few quid in the short term. It's a pity the people in charge are businessmen rather than sportsmen. This is one area we could actually learn something from America.
Well you can't deny the popularity has increased since the inception of Twenty20. It may not be the cup of tea for purists like you, but that doesn't really matter. It's popular and it's growing, so it's going to be capitalized on for years to come.

I guess it's acceptable in Africa or the West Indies cause it's in their culture and that. They just try and replicate it over here and it's awful to see

Popularity might've increased temporarily but you're talking about a tiny spike in the context of a sport that's been around for over 100 years. In England 2020 attendances have dropped significantly this summer because there's so fucking much of it. I would also say that the 2005 Ashes did more for overall participation and interest levels in this country than 20/20 ever has. What did we do after that? Chase the short term cash by flogging Test rights to Sky, ensuring that most people can't watch it and as part of the contract we have to play an ever increasing number of pointless matches.

There is a place for 20/20 but not at the detriment of other forms of the game, and oversaturation is a real worry. Of course noone cares about this because they're just chasing the short term cash. As usual.

It doesn't take a purist to see that 20/20 is a far more limited game than Test cricket. One that, while popular now, is far less likely to stand the test of time.
