I think Australia will be the Favourites for Twenty20 WC and the other teams that might give tough Fight for Australia is England and South Africa.Bcz they have been accustomed to these kind of Play. Playing at Hoem will be an added Advantage for South Africa..Might be SriLanka can also reach Semi Finalss.. Sorry For Indians and Pakistanis the same will be repeated in Twenty20 Too for Both Indians and Pakistan..
Make 20-20 game for every body's game...equal for mens & womens... 10 persons a side with 50% partition from both men and women. As 20-20 is for young peoples then this will boost its popularity...hehehehehehe...
RE:I think 35:35 is better

35:35 wouldn't be as economical as 20:20 is. On same day you can held two matches in 20:20. However 35:35 will take similar cost of 50:50. 20:20 is purely a carnival cricket more you can Say Cricket circus.
In long view 20:20 will surely get replaced with 50:50 & 50:50 will get replaced with 5 days test match which is time consuming & lots of energy &money is wasted on it.
Cricket has become a global game world wide sports version should be of smaller size like soccer & hockey, where people can utilize thier full potential for money.
Every thing is money driven thier is no place for emotions for outgoing versions.
Hence WC 20:20 will be a great success.
You may never see the class of Sachin, Ponting etc you witnessed in 50:50 & Test matches.
It is downright dumb and will be watched by retards only . Fast Bowlers who have lost in commericalization will only bowl in that tournament . No bouncer , extra runs for wides , Free hit for No ball ...
This is a joke , Make bowlers bowl 6 bouncers an over and then we see the real watchable cricket .People like sehwag and Afridi will be pissing in their pants watching bowlers faces

ya. you're spot on. Twenty Twenty is going to make players like sehwag and afridi superheroes as bowlers will be very much undermined in this form of the game. Thes batsmen who don't have technique or brains will be ruling the roost and this is not cricket. It's gilli. It's very sad that the great game of cricket is being reduced to this level.

Make 6 bouncers an overs , optional for the fast bowlers , Then we will see the real faces of the Indian Batsmen . Sachin ,Saurav , Sehwag will be first in line for retirement from International cricket .

Twenty20 may not Replace Fifty50 :) But surely going to get more popular in recent times. There could be a time when we treat one day matches as boring long, just like we treat test matches today.
In my opinion Twenty20 is good for cricket. Wasting one day for a game is simply too much - 5 days is criminal waste of time. Sports is meant to entertain, Twenty20 will do just that!

yeah they could if they play according to their potential and gather me team spirit.
the old Pakistan of Miandad and Imran always had a team spirit in spite of differences between the layers. they were proud to represent their nation. i think the present political and social situation in Pakistan has affected their Cricket team too. i call Pakistan the "Brazil of cricket" because there is natural talent everywhere. if only they had some team spirit...
and please don't misunderstand me. i am proud Indian hindu ;)
