Twenty20 - favours whom?

[Black Thunder]

Rubbish, you'll see most bowlers bowling straight through their 4 overs.

4 overs still isn't enough.

Most plans when bowling go on a 7-10 over basis. Sometimes they suceed, sometimes they don't and you have to come at them again with another plan. Sometimes you get lucky and you get them out earlier than expected. Sometimes you fail completely and the batsmen goes on to make a big hundred-plus.

Some bowlers walked away with crazy stats in last years Twenty20 Cup, there were more hat-tricks, figures where bowlers had more wickets than runs conceded, and the spiners had more success than expected. A lot of the bad press Twenty20 gets is from people that have hardly seen the format in action. And those that have had made up their minds before they had even seen a ball bowled.

Its a new form of limited overs cricket that is going to take off big time. Test Cricket will always be the proper form of the game but Twenty20 will bring a whole new audience to Cricket. Its good for the sport.
