This is honestly one of the few features in this series which actually did show something that changed cricket.

People dissing T20 should understand that it is not competing with Test & ODI formats but with other games like football & rugby which are still shorter than T20. As generations change cricket will have to keep up to survive.

Lol why doesn't ESPN have the rights to any footage??

T20 is extremely important to Cricket because it is a shorter version of the game which would make it easier to market the sport in more countries! We need more countries to play cricket!

The weirdest thing for as much as people say it’s just hitting actually I think it’s more tactical than one day cricket, and better for bowling and batting, and yes everyone can criticise me if they want.

T20 championship should be like FIFA Atleast 50 countries participating

It’ll never take over test cricket for me, but if it keeps the money rolling in so we can have test cricket I’m fine with that

3:37 I think this was probably the only genuine format of the game that was not gimmicky but simply short i.e. instead of 50 overs it'd just a 20 overs Innings. Unlike some other formats like the 6s, the 100 or even t10 where the number of players in a team (11) are more than the number of overs in an Innings (10). It's unbelievable that ecb didn't try to launch a Cricket's version of the Premier League Football with it's 18 CCCs. Even after the launch of IPL they didn't. I just hope the Blast is at least rebranded & relaunched as Premier League t20 & promoted aggressively as they're promoting the 100.

T20 has give many things to other formats Thanks to T20 cricket

yes it changed the true soul of cricket

Seems like that person in the car making those quick frantic phone calls was allen stanford

It was the India who won the first T20 World Cup which led the foundation of World's largest league called IPL. Thanks to Young and Fearless Captain MS Dhoni Who led the Young Side of Team India including Gambhir, Shrisanth, Uthappa and many more 🔥❤️🇮🇳

Why is this number 7? This should've been number 1

Do an episode on how Chris Gayle's 175 not out changed the game of cricket

I think all 3 formats are great. T20 is great to attract more audience. But the problem is making flat pitches. If pitches are balance players have to become classy and innovative to score shots than just hitting with power

I knew india would definitely win the wc as india know how to play galiiii(Street) cricket or the shorter version of cricket

I'm not against the very concept of T20 - a very athletic form of cricket, with very emphasis in giving the common people a chance to enjoy the game. But the only thing I miss in one-day cricket (T20 included) is white flannels. Yes, bring cricket whites and red/pink balls to limited-overs matches. Day/night Tests are a strong testament for my argument.

The worst-best thing to happen to cricket.

Test cricket still is the best, hands down❤️

More than regular T20 it was IPL in particular that changed the game.

T-20 redefined cricket. It is slowly killing the old phase of cricket for the new phase of cricket for better or for worse. T-20 is inclusive and brings in more audience at the expense of the spirit of the game.

My only grievance is the influence of T20 format on the test games . Nowadays batsman are not even playing the full 5 days and the batting collapses in recent times show that there is a serious lack in technique of these new generation batsman.

I mean International T20 tourneys and cups are all good, but these round-the-calendar national leagues have completely spoiled some of the teams’ performance in larger formats.

Is 1983 world cup triumph too part of this series? It sure was birth of cricket in India,as we know it today. If not for Indian subcontinent,Cricket have met its demise long ago and 1983 world was the saviour.

Cricket would have been dead by now if it wasn't for t20 cricket

Swan😂😂

T20 is the lifeline of cricket bcz it's bring money cricket would be long dead if it wasn't for t20 cricket.

NZ invested it --- via Cricket Max --- in the 1980s

T20 cricket destroyed technique and that is the reason batsmen not able to take test matches to 5th day of test match and at the same time decline in batting technique is reason for acquiring results in lot of test matches nowadays, as there are not many drawn test matches. How do you look at it as a positive or negative sign, after all there is no reason to play boring cricket just to draw a test matches after winning first test in a series.

The best thing ever happened to cricket

Here's where batting techniques began to decline... Swanny's recollections are really funny.

If India didn't won that 2007 wc, t-20 never would have achieve this high feat.

It's actually played out like the exhausted housewife seeking help and hiring a young, attractive au pair only to later find out her husband isn't exactly faithful. Cricket brought about its own relegation to secondary status.

Now they need hundred to attract mums and kids

I hate T20. It's ruining cricket. It's entertainment not sport.

Those ‘few frantic phone calls in a car’ have brought about the downfall of my favourite game

T20 ruined test cricket in Australia, the batsmen are getting worse

The first time t-20 league cricket was introduced by Pakistan in Karachi from Ramadhan tournament, don't spread lies...
