T20 Format a Praise Or Curse?

As the World is moving faster and to catch up with its pace a new format of cricket has emerged in the form of shorter version keeping in mind the limited time available with viewers, which has added more of entertainment and slog hits right from the start of the Match and has completely changed the games scenario.

So is this the cricket which the Englishmen thought of when the invented this game, had they ever dreamed of cricket changing in such a way? is very hard to understand.

But if we have to judge its significance in current era then we have to look it from different perspectives.

If we see it from a viewers perspective then major people will appreciate this form of cricket, as from their sight its full of sixes and fours no matter who has hit the ball and how correctly it was hit they only want the ball to land in the stands.
If this wasn't the method of T20 then who would have ever imagined Harbhajan singh being tagged as an allrounder. This form of cricket has also encouraged female spectators to join the crowd as this does not requires a high IQ the only thing matters is bat hitting the ball and they join the crowd cheering unless knowing what has happened.

Knowing it from a players perspective one would hardly encourage this game as its very limited to prove themselves with their actual skills, as batting for five to ten overs or bowling just four overs may not reflect how good a Batsmen or Bowler he is.

With the growing trend of T20 cricket there wont be two long until we may find a maximum attendance of 10% for a Test match. The signs of which were already been seen while the Master Blaster was reaching his Milestone in Test cricket.
