Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3699034, member: 9853"] Lots of reasons: 1. T20 is junk food. It's easy to market as a crowd spectacle, particularly to non fans who don't have to endure 5 days, or even an entire day. It's had to knock, because of its success as entertainment, but it's hard to become invested in a team. Personally, I'm over it. I used to watch every ball of every match, and I rarely watch the BBL or even the IPL anymore. 2. T20 has sucked the life out of One Day Cricket to the point where we don't even broadcast internationals on FTA any more. Or do we? I've lost track. We barely play any domestic games. No one cares about it anymore. Let it die. Play more Shield instead. 3. T20 is too arsey. It's usually won by a single bat getting on a streak. Which isn't to say it's not entertaining, but reward the best of the T20 bats with more overs to strut their stuff. 4. Being a bit longer format makes it more of an event befitting a world cup or international. We might even start to care. 5. Three formats are too many, and player stocks are thin on the ground when they're raking in the big money on foreign T20 contracts. 6. Conversely, 50 overs is a touch too many to really flex. It doesn't really get going until the 30th over. Just cut out the first 20. 7. But mostly, something has to give. We have too much cricket that it's become disposable. t20 for going out with your mates and barely following the game other than getting excited by the big hits. t30 for feeling like something is at stake.
