Our approach to T-20 always baffled me. Given the fact that our batsman are ill equipped to play the longer version of the game in terms of skill and temperament, I thought when T-20 first came about we would grab this format straight away. I thought T-20 is a format that suits our current style of play which is to throw the bat at everything. Given the limited life span of each of our batters, 20 overs seemed like a perfect length for us to go out all guns blazing.
Instead BCB decided to cold shoulder this just like the Aussies did initially(they had every right to, considering they were no. 1 in the other formats). We, on the other hand, lost a great opportunity to attain some sort of credibility at least in the simplest format of cricket and rack up a few wins against major opposition.
Now T-20 is no longer a new thing. The other teams are way too far ahead of us with each nation having its own power hitters and t-20 specialist while we are left with choosing between the Junaid, Kayes and the Rockibuls...
