Re: Bull**** Cricket
After watching the last few games in their entirety, I for one am inclined to change my mind about this format of the game.
It’s not just blatant slogging but about intelligent aggression – on both the bowling and the batting fronts… provided of course that the pitches for these types of tournaments do not always favour the batsmen. I have enjoyed watching the various sides bowl as well. Yes, the bowlers are more susceptible to being hit, but the batsmen are equally under pressure to keep it up for as long as possible. Partnerships matter… strategizing and improvising are crucial at every stage – one good or bad over can turn the game around. I suppose that’s something that will leave audiences glued to their sets unlike in ODIs where missing to watch a few overs may not be as bad.
Khair, long story short – I’m beginning to like this format… more so cuz it doesn’t take the whole day to watch as well.
