Message: [QUOTE="Hamm.0, post: 2170388, member: 1852"] Hussey's hussies were prolly the highlight of the night. Onto Warner; lolz, I amongst others have raised a quizzable eyebrow at the mentioning of Warne's name for a possible selector's spot, however after his "Warner must go on Ashes tour" I now must lolz at what I was thinking. The poor guy hits one decent innings in a very different form of the game and people are calling for his tour dates. knee jerk much? After watching more T20 in recent times this is what I think needs to happen for the game to flourish; - ACB needs to except it's here to stay. They need to appoint selectors, solely for T20 (maybe ODI/T20). These selectors work totally independent of the Test selectors, since the games are so different anyways. Rugby Union selectors don't select Rugby 7's teams do they? - The ICC (or whoever is actually running T20 at an international level, if indeed there even is such a board) needs to change T20 to 3 over's max per bowler. This creates position for TRUE all rounder's. In fact, after that is trialled, I would like to see a few exhibition games where it's 2 over's max. This means everyone, except the keeper must bowl. That would truly turn the game on it's head, as "specialists" would exist in the format, only all rounder's. This in turn would breed a whole generation of T20 cricketers. Wouls also breed the best fielder's ever. - Once the above happens, the ACB, ECC, SACB, NZCB, Windies, etc can drop their war on IPL and T20 in general, as not very many Test players would even be suited to the T20 format. Then T20 can truly excel in the other countries. The quicker the ACB gets over itself and moves on with life (*cough* Bradmanesque much *cough*), lets State T20 sides tour India, the MORE dominant Aussie will be in T20. I want to see a "Super 14's" style format of T20. Teams from Aus, SA, NZ, India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, (lolz) Bangladesh all qualifying to be relegated to the top International comp, played all through the Southern Hemisphere. England will have to work out some way of getting down here or they can help Stanton bring the game to North America through Canada and the Windies. The potential here is massive, T20 just needs to break down some barriers being held up by old men who fear change. I understand the fear of having whole generations of youth playing T20 instead of pursuing the Test career's, but guess what? Make Test cricket more attractive and kids will still inspire to play it above all else. I don't want to see many more T20's unless it's Australia v India v Sri Lanka, as those countries are the only real countries with big T20 experience. Everyone else is at a disadvantage. I'd rather watch Australia v Queensland, than watch Australia v SA. Amla was a perfect example last night, great batsman, but just didnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t get the format. [/QUOTE]
