Has Twenty20 found its spiritual home? http://world-a-team.com/showthread.p...wenty+Pakistan Pakistan vs West Indies: Pre Series Build Up Thread
When the tournament was going on several of regular members of this board were all sporting the mascots of their favorite sides as avatars or profile pictures (including my self)… In Pakistan it self the tournament was being discussed on talk shows on the radio and on telly, people in Karachi and Lahore were talking about how they'd hate to see 'their' side/s to lose to each other, the newspapers carried massive half a page advertisements promoting the tournament, editorials were complaining about the traffic caused out side the Gadaffi Stadium on finals day...it had caught the public's imagination...and that's how massive it was!
Full...they were over full! 40,000 came to watch the finals and hundred more were turned away because there was no more space ... in the league stages too the crowds were always substantial.
Not exactly crazy...but it was very talked about event nevertheless

did cricket need it in Pakistan? We certainly needed it here in England.

Domestic cricket certainly did need a raise in its profile. And 20Twenty did just that!
