Yeah Nick, you'll get some of the uncles talking about the old days when cricket was credible, and there was some respectablility still left in the game, but you and I know that that was bloody good entertainment tonight! 20-20 is here to stay.
I remember when cricket was... Okay, I'll cut to the chase. In 1975 I had the rare opportunity to spend a day at Lords, the home of cricket. Thompson and Lillie were the most feared attack in world cricket so the Poms prepared the slowest wicket they could and recalled former test openers Edridge and Steele. Steele must have been in his 40s and had grey hair. I watched a full day's play and the score at the end of it was 0/70 - 70 runs in a whole day and the best day's cricket I've ever seen. 20/20? Bah - humbug!

I like it because it is shorter than regular cricket by 4 and 3/4 days.
