Re: Which game do You prefer T20 or 50 overs

T20 can be as clinical and boring as ODI, especially if the chasing team loses early wickets chasing a big total. Spinners and medium pacer dibbly dobblers are very effective, but unfortunately they don't make watching the game attractive at all with their changes of pace and emphasis on blunting attacking batsmen. There is no subtlety whatsoever in T20.

As for BBL, it is WWE in cricket clothes. The trash talking, the 'confrontations', it's all fluff and hot air to fill some sort of relevance and meaning to what is essentially a meaningless competition where there is no affinity or allegience to any team. When BBL was state-based, it at least had the state allegiences.

Do you think you might be suffering from a let down after the retirements and breakdown of that great Australian team of the mid '90s to the mid '2000s? I know I really wish we could have cloned the Waughs, Warne, McGrath, Ponting, Gilchrist, Hayden, Langer et al and kept them on the field forever.

Also I find myself endlessly frustrated with the lack of the selelctor's foresight.

Yeah, it probably does have something to do with the standard of cricket ATM.

T20s shouldn't be international, it's just Mickey Mouse cricket. The selectors have ruined the 50 over stuff this year. Maybe I'll jut watch he tennis instead...

20/20 is , as my Dad would just say, shutty eye hitty hard.

I always say the same. It's pretty much close your eyes and swing.
I think they stuffed up with 20/20. It should ave been balls to the wall and made it "tip 'n' run".
