Get rid of the useless poser, please! When I saw him miss that stumping off Lyon I thought, I wonder how long it will take Aussie to call for Wade's head....Not that I disagree with you!!!

Definitely.
The crowds are already voting with their feet.
I remember when they would get 80,000 at the MCG for an ODI. Not any more, the only time they get that now is the new years day local derby Big Bash game.

I can see the appeal of it. It goes for about 3 hours (about the same as a footy game). There is lots of action and they are guaranteed a result at the end.

I think the trick to winning that 20/20 is to pick match winning batsmen.

Instead of looking at averages and percentages.

If you have 5 potential, but sometimes erratic batsmen you only need one to click on the night and you win.

Its a bit harder to be a match winning bowler because the opposition can ignore you for 4 overs,,, unless you are Mitchell Johnson.
