Second thoughts

I'm the first to admit when I've got something wrong, and I'm beginning to think I was wrong about 20-20 cricket. I've been a bit scathing about it in the past, but recently faute de mieux I've been watching the World Cup matches and come to realise that there's much more to it than simply swinging the bat and hoping for the best. I now see that it's a game of subtle tactics both from the batting and the fielding point of view. What has come as most of a surprise is the way spin bowling plays such an important part - quite the opposite of what you would expect. And then there's flexibility in the order in which you send your batsmen in - yes, I think I got it wrong.
