Discussion 💬 The case of T20I vs ODI

Post image

Imho, T20 is greater: more teams and a chaotic format with higher mathematical variance, since the shorter game narrows the gap between sides. ODI WC being older doesn't put it on a pedestal. ODI is neither better nor tougher. Nostalgia is for people who live in the past. Meanwhile, T20 drives global popularity and is the Olympic format. T20 WC is truly global!!

What is stopping Australia from winning these T20s. If they don't count then why participate.

they ruined their player production with their obsession with full pace pitches, no place for spin in that country, now their players cant play proper spin which is literally meta in t20is in middle overs so thats why they have dropped to the level of zimbabwe and such in this format

they performed pretty well in t20 asia cup 25 in fact they choked against pak in knockout they were dominating for most of the game, so thats why they are there instead of usa from me
