Twenty20 cricket may not be only for Dhoni and Afridi
Twenty20 cricket may not be only for Dhoni and Afridi
People assume that Twenty20 cricket is only for slam-bang aggressive cricket batsmen like Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Shahid Afridi. But,Twenty20 cricket is far more than just cross-batted hitting
Twenty20 cricket is also about disciplined batting,playing to a planned strategy and some great bowling
Twenty20 cricket encourages great bowling
In Twenty20 cricket, even one maiden over bowled by a bowler,could earn the bowler the ‘man of the match’ award! That really presents a great opportunity for bowlers in Twenty20 cricket.
In reality, Twenty20 cricket is blamed as slam-bang cricket and favoring the batsmen quite unnecessarily. In Twenty20 cricket,one day international cricket or even Test cricket, when the pitches are as dead as some of the Indian pitches or the boundary is as close as the Wanderers stadium, there are bound to be huge scores by batsmen and batting is definitely going to dominate the bowling
Twenty20 cricket : Twenty overs is a long time
Like Twenty20 cricket,when one day international cricket was first played, batsmen started slogging from the first ball they played. Soon enough,batsmen who play Twenty20 cricket will realise that it makes sense to first get your eye in for at least a couple of overs before you attempt to slog the ball to the boundary.
In Twenty20 cricket,a lot of international cricket teams have become all out before even the Twenty overs are completed,showing that international cricket batsmen are still trying to understand the Twenty20 cricket game
In summary,Twenty20 cricket cannot be dismissed as simply a pastime – Twenty20 cricket is set to dominate world cricket!
