twenty20

Thus far I've been vehemently opposed to the 20-20 format being adopted on an international level, but very pro domestic 20-20s, mainly because I think it lowers the level of the game to just a notch above baseball. But I just watched my first International 20-20 (Eng-Pak) and I have to admit that it was quite exciting and thoroughly enjoyable. Although I wonder if I'd still have said that if we hadn't won convincingly...

I do love how the umpires look so hip and cool with shades on in the middle of a gloomy English late afternoon.. hah! One umpire made a couple of bad lbw decisions... I guess for a 20-20 umpire he doesn't exactly have "20-20" vision! hahahahah..... um.... yeah....
