i have to agree with tigers_eye.

i cannot for the world of me understand some people's infatuation with 20-20 cricket. real cricket fans should know better. the masses will jump for it cuz it provies cheap transient thrills.

in my opinion, comparing 20-20 cricket to tests (and to a lesser, but still relevent extent ODIs) is like comparing a one night stand with a hooker to a (happy) marriage.
