This is a bit too easy
Tried in ODIs already, and agree.
Part of the intriguing balance of cricket is having to toss up between a fifth specialist bowler or sixth specialist bat and this gimmick ruins it.

Its incredible how big the IPL has become in 15 years.

True mate, the combination of a country mad about cricket, short format cricket, and the worlds best players entertaining people and playing in it was always going to be a winning combination imo.

Population of over 1 billion. Absolutely cricket mad. Isn't it the second most watched sport as a result? It's such a shame that some of the Indian fans are tools

Spoke to an Indian bloke on the phone today while sorting out the BT bill at work. Lovely chap, asked him if he was looking forward to the tournament and he said they were all shutting down their laptops bang on 7 and heading off to watch, that he also liked watching English cricket and football (but had never heard of Hull City
) In person they're great, at the match, on the phone, which just makes you wonder even more why 99% of them on social media are utter bellends!

Before Twitter I loved India
I heard the TV rights are the 2nd most expensive per game, NFL is #1

If the ECB had patented the T20 format they could have had a piece of that.
They patented the Hundred and nobody wants it.

Two more games today. Kings XI Punjab v Kolkata at 11am. Lucknow v Delhi at 3.
Might watch if there’s no footy on I fancy.

Was the T20 format able to be patented considering clubs had been playing it for years?

I think they could patent the name. Of course other countries would get around it by calling their version something else.

Good luck selling Derbyshire v Leicestershire.
Woody bowling rockets in his first over just clean bowled two in a row on a hat trick.

Looks like he could have won the game for them in two overs.
