When T20 came in, it satisfied at least a unique type of entertainment, a condensed version of the game. It wasnt like the ECB were trying something like 48.5 over cricket, or the like, which has little effect on the tactics or skills required. And that turned out to be an interesting concept, it brought us a fast version of the game, one that attracted many people. I mean, had they decided to try something absolutely off the hook, like a 10 over slog fest competition, then it may have even made me interested. A form of the game that takes all tactics out, and is simply a quick display of hitting power. Not my thing maybe, but at least different with its advantages.
This 16.4 over concept seems neither here nor there. Not distinct enough from T20 to make it worthwhile, not similar enough to engender any feelings of loyalty to the format.
So Ill simply reject it.
If I want top quality slog festing, Ill turn on the IPL. Or stick with watching a team I actually support.
