Whether it is something we as individuals enjoy or not, it is something that attracts a large global audience in a format that is more accessible than the stereotyped game that lasts for 5 days with no result. This could lead to more people being interested to the avenues of 50 over and then test cricket.

Yes it's had corruption problems, but so has international and county cricket, and is not just an ipl problem but a world cricket problem that must be addressed. Regardless of how we might view cricket with disdain or not I believe any cricket is good cricket and I'll just as happily celebrate Warwickshire decimate Notts as I will watching Kohli and De Villiers bat together for RCB. Just because we may not prefer a format or a tournament doesn't mean we should condemn it for the masses. We'd end up with a dwindling sport that nobody will be left to enjoy.

Yeh, that's all very well and good except that T20 is just going to become more and more popular. This is because it removes all the boring bits from the game that people who don't like cricket don't want to watch, you know, the cricket.

It's just creating a class of "cricket fan" who only watch T20 and don't even really pay attention to that.

All the popularity of T20 is going to do is increase the rate at which cricket is stratifying between teams that can afford to play test cricket and those who can't.

I know people have said it before, but this feels like the end for test cricket, most of the smaller boards can't afford to host them and realistically we might be only left with Aus, Eng and India playing in 50 years time.

Who goes to Shield or County games? No one, and not for a while, in all honesty, cricket seems to be already dead. LONG LIVE T20.

Being a Punjab fan I caught the game today and it was not the best of entertainment today with Bangalore making just over 120 and Punjab just getting over the line. Was also glad to see Johnson bowling with a bit of venom as we have all seen he can do. It's surprising to me how despite the IPL India cannot produce one decent pace bowler who regularly clocks up 145+ and with a bit of consistency. The likes of Ishant Sharma and many other pacers have really been ruined and never fulfilled their potential.

Lefty aka Neon.. your post as been removed.. and you will be removed from my sight.. keep outta my thread.
