luthra.......first I wanted to put this as a comment....but then I decided to post it since its too long....and also we are not getting too many posts these days :D
i agree cricket needs to be globalized.....i know we need to attract masses....I understand that cricket needs more money.......but there are certain things that we cannot afford to compromise........When I talk to the Americans here about cricket, they are like "5 days for a match!!!"......but what the hell and who cares.....We cant play that baseball.....
You know what even I was looking forward to this tournament....and I was really enjoying when Gayle flicked Pollock over mid-wicket for a six......he did it again....and i loved it even more......and again.....this time to Ntini....and again.....and again....and again.....i could not enjoy it anymore....we were about to switch our laptops off......but Gayle was so close to his century.....so we continued to watch......not with much interest though.....switched our laptops off after Gayle reached his century......
seriously....i was watching the match with a few friends here.....and they shared the same feelings....I hope few of you guys will agree with me on that....
The same thing happened in the second innings......and we switched our laptops off a the end of arround 10th over.....
One thing, I dont know if its good or bad, it bridges the gap between the good and bad teams......Zim beat Aus today......Its obvious that the shorter the game gets the more upsets there will be....yes......one day Germany might beat India by 5 wickets and Pakistan might lose to Finland.......
And this might attract more Fins and Germans to play cricket......so there are a few positives.....but I think the negetives outscore the positives.......
If we have twenty20 for globalization of sport......why not have a test world cup......may be i am going over the line a bit.......since test world cup may not be possible.......but I hpe you understand my feelings....
So, my conclusion would be that the twenty20 world cup is a good idea for globalization.....but it cant be a scale on which to judge teams......
But we all know, whatever happens in this twent20 world cup, who ever wins it......the best team in the world will still be Australia......

Mr Giri...you put a brave front with ur thoughts on this new pattern which will have its days of glory in years to come...
So while the history getting written, re-written....& re-written, a word of advise: Don't switch ur laptops too much...they are better being put under hibernation every time u flap it down :D
...just kidding :P
