What do you guys think of the new format?
Dotty doesn't like it, some are ambivalent.
Arguably it gives the lesser players a better chance to progress, but I think the governing body wanted to try something like cricket have done with the 20-20 where you can watch a match to its conclusion in a short period of time. Just like 20-20, I think the purists will be against it, but I can understand why they've done it.
It`s a good format which should make people watch. If you`re not on you`re game you aint gonna win.If it gives the lesser players a chance ,well we all love the underdog don`t we???? :P :P :P
