Which is why Twenty20 works... it is short, you do need to take the day off and can be done in the evening.

I know the Players possibly need to learn how to play longer, but Twent20 Cricket is a great way of getting buns on seats, getting young people watching Cricket, and hopefully get them playing!!

The fact is that when you look at the average West Indies Crowd it is full of old men. You need to get excitement amongst all ages and both sexes.
