In my opinion T20 cricket is not killing real cricketing skill. Game i mean cricket remains the same only the overs are reduced. It bring a lot of fun, exctiment among the viwers......... one more it save a lot of time... many who were not watching cricket coz it"s time counsuming, have it started watching it... younger player are getting more chance and the team india is getting new talents these days... DHONI team....

I think you are right. T20 is such a format in which you don't need any kind of technical shot-making ability. Like for example, Rahul Dravid. You don't necessarily need players like who can defend the ball well. I am not saying that Rahul Dravid is not fit for the T20 format. What I am trying to say that defedning is not the need of the hour there. There is no place for defending. All you have to do is to smack the ball a 100 meters out of the park. That is why you are taken in the team. There was Dilshan who said he had developed some shots in the T20 WC recently. Then here was I think Gibbs who too said that he would display his new shots shortly.

Not at all. T20 is just a new and great form of cricket for all cricket lovers. But a player can prove his cricketing skills only in Test cricket.

it kills the real game to some extent, but it is inevitable. we are lining in a fast world, we can't sit in front of television sets for 5 days to know the result of a match.
