Re: How to fit 20/20 into world cricket calender What im saying is that you would have australia play three 20/20 games in australia in one summer(see no overkill), i used australia day as an example but dates could change end of season, between the test and odi's. A world cup to be held in a...

Re: 20/20 doubts Ok to every one with doubts lets say cricket administrators decided no 20/2, what i want to know is what is next no ODI, then what no artificial light when it gets dark in test cricket and then no manditory over rate. Where does it end, look its popular to the MAJORITY and...

Re: Twenty/20 - its here to stay Now substitute the name soccer for cricket 20/20, it can happen people just have to be patient. You cant build an empire overnight. This is why i love 20/20 because it introduces kids and families to cricket that probably would have never went to a game...

Re: 20/20 doubts This generation of players will not take it seriously but the next will, just like the players before the days of ODi's would have never taken ODI's seriously but the next did. Now people talk like ODI's have been around for a century.
