20/20 gives too much advantage to batsmen. If it is to become mainstay then more changes, which reduce this advantage, need to be made. Currently, batting 20 overs with 11 wickets is a joke. There is no need to build partnerships, pace innings, save wickets for last 10-15 overs etc. Its slam bam from over 1. A wicket lost hardly matters.
I don't see this form of cricket becoming mainstream unless big changes are made.
