i cant understand y 20/20 cricket is being used for globalisation in the non-test playing countries. the level of batting is very low in most of the non-test countries and in odis, they usually struggle to bat out their full 50 overs. 20/20 is not going to improve the level of batting in cricket. most non-test teams would struggle to make 100+ scores in 20/20 against the test-playing teams or even domestic teams of test-playing nations. 20/20 was initially launched to spread cricket in canada & usa, where the game does not have a chance to take off. its just like showing the penalty corners package of a football match instead of showing the whole football match itself.

for globalisation, FC cricket should be used and the non-test playing teams should be encouraged to play more 4-day matches among themselves and even have a domestic 4-day competition. this will help improve the level of batting in the non-test teams & it will show in the odis as they will start to make 250+ scores regularly playing out full 50 overs. and eventually some non-test teams would get test status.

also, icc should make a list of non-test teams where cricket can take off like ireland, scotland, holland(maybe), nepal, afghanistan, malaysia(maybe), kenya, uganda as they have a bit of a cricketing culture. in canada, usa, uae there r expat based teams and the locals dont care for cricket. to make cricket a 3 hour slam-boom-bang affair to spread cricket in places where it cant take off is useless.

20/20 cricket should be kept limited only to non-asian test playing nations like aus,eng,sa,nz,wi. even asian teams have struggled in 20/20 and 20/20 can kill cricket in places like bangladesh where batsmen r too flashy.
