+1. T20 has its own beauty. Anyone who watched Hussey steal a final spot right in front of Pakistan's nose in T20 WC 2010 will tell you otherwise. I remember watching Dale Steyn pick up a maiden over against Chris Gayle when he was on top of his form. Gayle had absolutely no answer for steyn. I don't think I would have enjoyed this maiden over as much as I did had it been in ODI/Test. There are plenty of things to enjoy in T20. I enjoy seeing teams accelerate from 6-7 an over to 70 runs in the last 5 overs. I enjoy seeing bowlers making a comeback after batsmans put up 100/2 in the first 12 overs. These things happen in ODI too, so if you can enjoy it in ODI than why can't you enjoy it in T20?

Every format has its own beauty. I don't think you necessarily have to dislike 1 format just because you like the other 2 formats more. Teams still have to play their best game to win.
