[chris43]

i agree with most of it.

 

[andrew83]

All the suggestions are great except the 32 team tournament may be it should be 16 teams. Other than that great work.

well i dont think that would be bad idea but it would even shorter and it would similar to the world cup both having 16 teams plus by 2009 these teams will have some experience playing in the intercontinal and playing A teams and icc training camps, etc...

What's wrong with the Champions Trophy? It had some great games this year. Although a Twenty20 tournament would be exciting.

 

[pasag]

I agree with all of it.

Of course my thread wasn't as funny as the nonsense in this thread, but at least it was attempting to raise money for charity.

Lillian Thomson is Mike Smash and I claim my 12" vinyl version of Bachman Turner Overdrive's You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet.

You can't throw a nine year old off the side of an ocean liner and expect that to teach him to swim.

Neil's right, you know. Didn't work for the passengers on the Titanic...




Too soon??? Oh come on, it's been almost 100 years.

I know most will know this, but just for those that may not.

The 20/20 World Cup is being held in South Africa in 2007, followed by another soon after in England.

Its not like a tournament hasnt already been thought of.

 

[nightprowler10]

I agree with every word of the original post.

I know it's been thought of that's why it said from the second 20/20 tournament because it would get more countries involved you know...

Award winning post, brilliant

On the topic, 20/20 has a huge role to play in cricket develpment as part of the pyramid.

10 test teams, 16 or so ODI teams 20 or so 20/20 teams.

The problem, as already stated are mismatches. However Im all for a number of nations (Namibia, USA, UAE, Denmark etc) being given official International 20/20 status as long as they were not forced to play the top nations all of the time.

so you think twenty20 status should exist? but that so manny teams should be playing the championship? well it would a quick tournament no one would mind and they are going to play the top nations ones in 2 years...so is that all the time?they are just going to have 20/20 status and mostly the other associates like the associates have odi status and playing each other

20/20 should definitely exist...its exciting...but it should not replace one day cricket!

exactly my point it should replace ODI, at 1st i was against 20/20 but then i realised what it can do for cricket how fast cricket would excell with it. thats the main reason i wrote this.

The second link does work but i think the 1st idea is better and if it's eight years apart that wouldn't put too much burden on the calender and I'm pretty sure would be only sporting even to be held every 8 years. What was the orignal article?

World Test Series

Firstly. A twenty20 tournament that huge would be impossible. Yes a knockout tournament would work best but not in those numbers. If we want it to be bigger than the world cup we make it 20 teams. 4 groups of five. Each team plays four games, top 2 in each group goes through to quarter finals. It would take 3 weeks - a month but cricket fans will love that.

Secondly. Ranking the champions of each section of cricket is stupid. Calling the T20 champion the World T20 champions is good. So is calling the WC winners the ODI World Champions; but just call the test champions the test champion. Calling them the Grand Champions and ranking the tournaments 1. 2. 3. Is both stupid and pointless.

Other than that, you're spot on in my view.
