Totally different...................................as you well know.
Are you saying when club cricketers play 20 overs it is proper cricket,but when first class ones do it's not!
What confuses me is before T20 was even heard of in first class cricket,fans have always wanted to watch the ball hit out of the park and loved watching the likes of Richards,Sobers and Botham do exactly that,it's not new!
Now fans can see that more often instead of just enjoying the spectale some have this snobberish view looking down on it.
As long as the Ashes remains the pinnacle of the sport, T20 should be enjoyed for the fanastic watch it is.
Of course
it's proper cricket,proper crickekers are the cricketers that adapt their game to what ever format,that what makes Root such a good one.
And of course getting beat in a World cup final is more disappointing and important that getting beat in a run of the mill test match against New Zealand.
