Transcription: A picture of a bat leaning against some stumps. Superimposed on it is a Tweet from Iceland Cricket: “Name a rule in cricket that should be changed immediately. Why?”

    I don’t like t20 much but if it must exist :

    • it should be red ball. Far too easy for batsmen. Designed for uneducated crowds
    • there needs to be some more restrictions on playing for franchises. Blatant money grab, with the same 20 players floating around the Bash, the Blast and the IPL . Very cynical.

      the same 20 players floating around the Bash, the Blast and the IPL

      Personally I don’t care so much about that, but I hate even the appearance that any form of T20 might take priority over Test cricket for any players or teams. I don’t know how you would deal with that, but it was a vocal problem in the lead-up to the Windies’ most recent series in Australia (although they ended up performing exceptionally well, so the concerns may have ended up unfounded—I just want even the idea that it could be a problem to go away).
