As long as it is not overkill it has it's place on the calendar I think.

We had a similar concept in NZ a few years back called Cricket Max, the problem with that concept, is the same problem with 20-20 cricket, it's all geared towards the batsman which is a shame. I don't mind a one off match at the beginning of a tour before you get into the real stuff, the Tests and ODI's but I wouldn't like to see international 20-20 series or tournaments become the norm.

20-20 is good for a change. sort of a carnival game i guess.

 

[Iafeta]

Not too fussed on it at all

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

Martin Crowe has a right to be annoyed. 20/20 is Max sans any innovation, and deserves to fail for all of the same reasons.

Bit of fun really. Was good in england especially.

 

[aussies1st]

Very exciting to watch but more for fun than serious cricket.

 

[Surandy]

I've only watched one game and didn't like it.

 

[sunny]

Ridiculously biased in favour of the batsman and therefore not interesting.

Who would want to bowl in Twenty20? Batsman may love it but bowlers get caned.

 

[sunny]

Exactly my point NPK. Peopls say "Oh, it's exciting, there are sixes all the time". To me, excitement is a really good contest between batsman and bowler, not one side just dominating helped by ridiculous rules.

saw a match in england, surrey scored 200, middlesex were well on the way to the target before some excellent bowling from tim murtagh of surrey, who took 5/14 or something. Ball can make a big difference.

It's good for a bit of fun, don't want to see it take over One Dayers.

Thierry is right - its a copycat version of Cricket Max with a couple of slight adaptions.

 

[Robster]

I like it, am I the only one?

 

[choc_soldier]

My first experience of it was the England-Australia match on the last Ashes tour - was quite good (except for the fact that we were about 6/25 in the chase).

Going to my first ever live match today - really looking forward to it.

Didn't Cricket Max have scoring zones? (i.e if you hit within 10 metres of the boundary, it was 3 runs automatically).

sh*t, the ICC should ban it now and be done with it
