Our board, players, coaches and even a large portion of fans have shown a blatant disrespect and ignorance to this format instead of embracing the positives that can come about from it:
1. Pacing a quick innings
2. Providing a quick significant knock on demand
3. Bowlers learning the dot and wicket taking balls
4. How to bowl against overly aggressive batsmen
5. Tight fielding
6. Good running between the wickets
7. Keeping the scoreboard ticking

That's us, we're always playing catch-up. Setting up an FC league
after getting the Test status, arranging more practice matches before a tour
after getting pounded by Zimbabwe and falling behind in T20s are just a few examples. Failing to take a proactive approach to just about anything is characteristic of our lazy culture, but I'd like to think there will be a few exceptions, at least in cricket, in the near future.
