Default Twenty20 Arrives in AUS

http://foxsports.news.com.au/story/0...-27561,00.html

Shane warne and the Vics played WA to the first sellout since '81.

here's on on the Aussie A vs Pak tonite
here

20/20 could attract new fans

from CricInfo- Sellout at the WACA


btw, am i the only one who gets annoyed by typing "twenty20"? why don't they just do 20/20, 20.20, 20-20, etc?

Twenty20 is a great new concept, and I hope it's played more often, both at state level and international level.

Australia open their New Zealand tour next month with a twenty20 match against the Kiwis.

Reminds me very much of indoor cricket (in nets) - slog & run.

IMHO it does no bloody good to one's correct batting technique.

I'll wait & see, but it does threaten some of the more valuable skills of cricket.

I haven't been to a Twenty20 game, but from what I've seen on TV it looks like a fun evening out. I'm hoping to get a game or two this Summer as my girlfriend lives five minutes from Essex's Chelmsford ground.

Aussies killed NZ tonight in the Twenty20
Ponting was extremely exciting at around the 18th-19th overs and he even hit 30 from one over

Ponting's 98 not out off just 55 balls was amazing batting, hitting the ball to all parts of the ground. He hit one six which hit the absolute top of the stand and bounced back! McGrath was funny too when he pretended to bowl an underarm delivery, just like the infamous one Trevor Chappell bowled 24 years ago! The teams wore replicas of the old one day uniforms worn when World Series Cricket first started which was good.
