If he doesn't like them then he doesn't have to play in them.

Same goes for any other cricketer who doesn't realise how lucky he is to play cricket for a living.

 

[Struts]

It’s very hard to disagree if I’m being honest. Needs some radical change to stay interesting as they just feel like long T20’s now.

 

[Silly Point]

If there's one format that shouldn't be played at international level, it's T20 for me.

Another one on ignore

(Mooen, not you)

T20 and the 100 are awful cricket.

T20 and the 100 are awful cricket.

I can live with T20 and if CLS wasn't such a shit on to get to maybe I'd go (I wouldn't)

TBF it's not the format it's the fireworks, cheerleaders, music and absolutely embarrassing carry on

Don't mind domestic T20s but internationals just feel like an afterthought, like an exhibition match or something. So called international players slogging doesn't do it for me

Not really sure what to make of those comments.

T20 is fine. It’s The Hundred that’s the problem

International T20’s were better when it was just one offs.

 

[PeteFTM]

ODIs are the most entertaining format in my humble opinion, not sure how it can be considered the long boring version.

I feel 50 overs gives you a mix of what’s good about test matches and T20, not too short, not too long, and you usually see a result that is a fair reflection on the performances as a whole.

Worrying that this is the attitude given we’re world champions in this format.

Cannit see the point in going on an overseas tour to watch a couple of T20's. Don't even last long enough for you to have a good sesh and get p*ssed.

 

[JL1985]

In cricket terms, T20s are short but for casual TV viewers, 4 hours is a long time to be watching one match.

4 hours is quite a lot of free time to have available in a day

 

[Silly Point]

No way should they last 4 hours mind. Clubs round here get them done in 2 and a half at most

Wasn’t complaining when he was collecting his World Cup winners medal was he? Prick.

Exactly. The time it takes for international cricket to get through the overs in all formats is a f*cking disgrace.

In fact, the IPL and 16.4 are even worse. Especially when the latter was marketed as being ‘short enough for FTA television’, which obviously was a massive lie all along.

I second the words of the previous speaker.

 

[Mackem00]

The problem with T20 is it's so good damn entertaining as a spectacle. Might not be what true cricket is/was all about but true none the less.

I guess we will all have to wait for the BCCI to decide after they attempt to win their own World Cup next year
