Twenty20

On a talk show on NDTV about Twenty20 vs. Test cricket, Imran Khan made an interesting point. Cricketers, he said need talent, technique and temperament to do well in Test cricket. Twenty20 takes technique and temperament out of that equation. It brings out the sheer force of raw talent which is in abundance in both India and Pakistan. But by that yardstick I wonder how New Zealand reached the semis. They are one team who have plenty of character and spirit but can’t be accused of being too talented.
