Twenty20 comes of age in Caribbean feast
// May 25th, 2010 // No Comments » // Uncategorized
Twenty20 cricket came home with England’s impressive World Cup win on Sunday and the game which began as a crowd-pleasing thrash really came of age over the past three weeks in the Caribbean.
Players continue to push themselves technically and physically to gain every advantage in the compressed format of the game and wild slogging, which many feared was all Twenty20 was, just does not deliver against top quality bowling.
Instead, in a superb breakneck tournament where large crowds of travelling fans and local West Indians were treated to two games a day, there was some outstanding cricket.
“I think if you ask the people watching on television or at the games, they will say it has been a wonderful spectacle and I think it is here to stay now,” Australia captain Michael Clarke said.
