well I am glad to see that in general the response to Twenty20 has been pretty positive.
I think this tourny has gon esome way to showing people that there is a place for good bowling in the game, and that good bowling will tend to be rewarded.
I think somewhere someone said it was sad to see Pollock getting whacked about. well for me, one of the good things about this format is that it has no respect for reputation. You perform on the day and you get your rewards, if you dont you get punished. There is nowhere to hide in this format. You bowl a crap over and you have bowled crap for a quarter of your spell. In 50 over stuff you have time to redeem yourself.
For me, this tournament has way way overshadowed the lumbering dinosaur that was the World Cup earlier this year, not only for excitment but in a lot of way, the quality of play. Some of the batting as been amazing to watch, and some of the bowling has been a lesson on really good death bowling
