Twenty20 – the future

Now the Texan billionaire Allen Sanford is looking to launch a T20 that wd be make more millionaires out of cricketers and Pakistan is wondering about launching its own T20 league. I guess soon we would be seeing a la soccer T20 leagues launched by every cricket playing country (Australia and England included) because the money involved seems to be too tempting to be foregone.

I am willing to stick my neck out and say that T20 will, first, kill ODIs and then Test cricket. And then, finally, itself. The attendance at the T20 games of English counties is a pointer in this direction.

As a hard core cricket fan I don’t think T20 will be the requiem for Test Cricket.  Test Cricket would, like the proverbial Phoenix, rise again in anew avatar once the T20 plays out itself.
