They said T20 is as far removed from 50 over cricket as 50 over cricket is from test matches. They thought the berthing to do was bin ALL 50 over stuff and have 40 over cricket instead. They both played Pro40, back early in their careers and though it was a better format.
paulcook 20 Feb 11:51am, 20 Feb 2025 7,492 posts	Quote Pin paulcook On the one hand, each format needs to have some clear distinction to the next otherwise there’s virtually no point in replicating and having it in the first place. On the other hand, I’ve regularly heard many pundits say there’s an extended period in any ODI innings which is virtually indistinguishable from the next innings and has almost no bearing on the result. I’ve turned it off now but this India-Bangladesh innings the same; even despite losing 5 cheap wickets they’ve managed to paddle round for however long. I don’t think a change to 40 overs would make much difference to the game at all and probably make it more exciting.
