firstly, this t20 talk is bullshit, and it makes no sense.

t20 is exciting, ODIs are boring...maybe the problem is not with the game but the fans itself. i still see plenty of folks "following" ODIs. people continue to confuse IPL success for some supposed excitement in T20Is. and thats mistaken. if one really thinks that a t20 match between England and New Zealand will attract crowds in Hyderabad, which ODIs wouldn't, they're mistaken. format of the game doesn't matter: neutral games will always be ignored. cricket is not soccer, and will never be, there is no point trying to make it so.

20 years from now, t20s will become boring, and f5 cricket will be introduced with tendulkar's son, Bachin, claiming he can predict the outcome of 82.3% of all matches based on who wins the toss and that t20s should be split into 40 seperate innings of 1 over each.

seriously, am i the only one who can poke holes in this crazy thinking???
