awards will increase, as more of the 20/20 games will be played. It will overlap One dayers for sure as a main format for the shorter version of the game, and i hope it does. It is more exciting. It's main plus points are :a) it only last for 3 hrs maximum b)More power hitting shots c) spectators enjoy every moment of it. well, 50 overs game, they can get boring around middle of the game when nothing much is happening, whereas for 20 20, most part of the game is exciting. Some may think that a lot of slogging is involved, but not really, it's all about pressure, power and promptly thinking. my conclusion: I would love to see ODI being replaced by 20/20, and Test matches should stay. If one dayers are eliminated, more spectators will follow test cricket as well. This way we will have two extreme formats of the game, shorter format = fast thinker, mostly useful for power hitters and rocket launchers, longer format = players who have good strategy for longer hours and who can last for a long time. This way both formats will be exciting.
