Banton says hi! Getting Archer back in the side will be important on the bouncy pitches in Australia. Fair play to both sides. Three really close games. | ![](/images/avatars/1081.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

It’s anything but brainless. It’s highly-pressured decision making for both batsman and bowler. Look at Bairstow’s split-second alteration when moving across his stumps to play a leg shot, but still managing an off-side shot when the ball deviated. That was nothing but absolute skill. As long as it co-exists with Test cricket, I have no issue with it at all. | ![](/images/avatars/1214.gif) |

I suspect that's wasted on someone who'd make such a brainless post [Post edited 16 Feb 2020 19:37]

It's the cricketing equivalent of a penalty shootout. | ![](/images/avatars/20557.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

It's absolutely nothing like the cricketing equivalent of a penalty shoot-out, either in format or intention Today's match was "real" T20 cricket, nothing more, nothing less [Post edited 16 Feb 2020 20:02]

Did you see the amount of kids introduced to cricket with there families today, it can only be good for the promotion of cricket . | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
T20 match/series on 22:22 - Feb 16 with 2069 views | kiwidale | Test cricket is cricket in its purest form and 50 overs is also worth watching but T20 bash and dash leaves me cold I did not watch any of the current series v SA but many did and enjoyed it | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

T20 match/series on 01:59 - Feb 17 with 2017 views | pioneer | I have never understood why in limited overs they limit the number of overs a bowler can bowl but not the number of overs a batsmen can bat. Wouldnt it be fairer to allow a bowler to bowl throughout the full 20 (or 50) overs (so up to 10/25 from one end) just as a batsman (batter if you want to include womens cricket as well) can remain at the crease throughout the full amount of overs. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

But cricket in itself is weighted in such a way towards the batter. All bowlers must bat, but not all batters must bowl. It is a mismatch of ability that seldom occurs in any other sport. | ![](/images/avatars/1214.gif) |
