	Cricket pundits welcome Twenty20 - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
		When Twenty20 cricket was introduced by the Wales and England Cricket Board in 2003, the comments were varying as it relates to the impact that it would have on the two existing versions of the game.
		Two years later Twenty20, it would appear, will be the newest version in the sport of cricket, as the organisers have set out to reposition the sport as a fun-filled family fiesta, packed with loads of entertainment.
		Aside from the large turnouts, some fans believe Twenty20 is a watered-down version of the game that could see the abandonment of good technique, team strategy and planning throughout a match and the reduction in workable tactical options for various situations that may arise in a game.

	Twenty20 a vision of future: Ponting - Cricket - Sport - smh.com.au
		The reason most commonly given is that the style of played learned from one-day cricket has spilled over into the way most cricketers play the longer game, in terms of aggressive attitudes, innovative shot-making and slick running between the wickets.
		Now with the advent of Twenty20 in the past few years, Ponting believes batting lessons learned in that truncated biff-and-bash game will transfer into 50-over cricket.
		After the first edition of the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy in Australia last summer was locked 1-1 with a rained-out draw in Brisbane, Australia emerged from this staging as the most slender of victors.

	Abc of Cricket Forum > Test Vs One-day Vs Twenty20 Cricket
		In one-day cricket you do not need to play your best players as the difference in the player might only be a couple of runs or a few less runs off their bowling.
		None of the things I like about tests really matter much in one dayers, the only thing that the game has got going for it is the excitement of the conclusion (but unlike tests, it has to be a close match).
		We debated this very topic a while ago on this forum, and I propagated this same theory; in fact, I think Twenty20 is a much more viable and exciting alternative than one-day cricket as it stands, with basically the same virtues (or, more appropriately, faults).
