    Half the runs off just about half the overs with 10 wickets in hand yes 10 WICKETS IN HAND. Any teamin the world would of knocked 80 off easy in 9 overs, shocking. **** 20/20, I person who wont be watching again.

    Couldn't believe it when I saw that target

    Shocking. I've not watched any of the 20/20 and it doesn't massively interest me compared to test matches, to be honest, but I do still keep up with it and that seemed pretty much over before a ball was bowled in their innings.

    8.1 an over for 20 overs reduced to 8.88 for 9 overs

    With the same number of wickets to play with. Big fat furry deal. Only ever going to be one result.

    With The Floodlights On........

    why couldn't they have a 20 over match? It would have made more sense to give the fans what they paid to see no matter how late it finished.

    Duckworth Lewis is a cop out when there's floodlights being used. Maybe it will rain again, but we don't know for sure. What's wrong with an extra day to finish it tomorrow?

    Yes they do. Still wrong though, they should have been reduced to 5 or 6 wickets.
