Obviously the three hour format is well suited to commercial networks, its quick; it’s exciting and can slot into regular television programming. The networks are loving it and they believe the rest of the world will too.
So what has this inaugural Twenty20 championship provided us so far, has it lived up to the hype?
Upsets:
Hat-trick:
Six 6’s in an over:
Tie’s:
Bowl-off:
Games going down to the last ball:
As far as excitement goes, it’s a tick in every box. So why are people still so hesitant to accept the format? Change is good, but it is also frightening. The same fears were said of ‘Pajama cricket’ but it turned out to be a massive hit, it remains to be seen where this new era is taking cricket. It is an exciting yet uneasy time for cricket fans. Has the game developed too rapidly, and can the format survive over exposure, we will just have to wait and see…
-bi-note Not again, Watson breaks down…. I hope he has another profession lined up, how can Cricket Australia continue to pay him? He is just way to much of a liability, harsh maybe, but it’s a fact.
