That's why he has never made it in proper cricket. Poor love.

T10 will be good to have as a warm up for t20 matches: for youth matches or women's matches in order to generate interest for those categories. My thinking is that most sports revolve around 2 hours duration - t10 is too short unless you have multiple matches.

There's already a T10 competition - Dan Lawrence is playing in one of the teams.

He is

I watched a couple of the games. He is playing for Deccan Gladiators. I saw their first game but he did not bat. Made 15 not out off 8 balls in the second game to steer them to a win.

It was quite watchable.

ETA. Not so listenable to, though.

Danny Morrison is not my favourite commentator. I guess his broadcasting "style" fits with the faster forms of the game.

Indeed. 5/5 vision rather than 20/20 vision.
