Twenty20 World Cup Qualifiers

This is a bit late now, but in Italian news, to sum up the standard of some of their bowlers, one of them is my bf's Kent div 4 team's overseas player. He helped them get promoted from Kent div 5 last season.

So that's not Kent Prem, div 1, 2 or 3. It's Kent div 4.

And he plays for his COUNTRY. SriTalia.

Recognition at last!

Netherlands just beat the 'Ghan, now it doesn't matter

And they're beating the Afghans it in 4 day cricket now.

As it turned out, the Dutchies farked it right up.

Or to put it another way, well batted the Ghanis and in particular Afsar Zazai.

Afsar Zazai "Top"?

Aye, just paraphrasing there.

According to cricinfo, Tickets for this year's World Twenty20 will be as cheap as $0.25 for group games and between $2.50 and $45 for the final.

This is the form of the game that is ging to bring people flooding back to games and rake in the cash.

Of course, if they dropped Test prices or ODI prices to the same level, I reckon every match would be sold out...

2014 Twenty20 world cup will be expanded to 16 teams.

Why's it only three years away? Am I going insane?

Still better than the World Cup being every year.

The quota of Twenty20s has been increased by three for each team every year. It is at 12 matches a year now.

**sighs** As long as it's to the detriment of ODIs and not Tests.

t20 is the perfect vehicle to give other nations a taste of the game. But a taste is all. Expanding the t20 World Cup to 16 teams is a very good idea. The ODI one should be capped at 12 for many years to come.
