Glenn McGrath is right. The bowlers have figured out where to bowl, what line, length, variation etc. Plus they have to go flat out only for four overs, due to which their accuracy levels are up. Actually, the problem with this format is that if the bowlers get ascendancy over the batsman, then the games get boring and monotonous. Plus with the long duration of the tournament, all the batsmen have been properly figured out by the intelligent bowlers. Kudos to the bowlers for finding a place in the 20-20 format.

true. but bowlers hv only succeeded restricting batsmen in first innings ie while giving a target. mostly they hv failed to restrict them while chasing a target. still a side chasing a target achieves the same at ease.
Mcgrath proved again his aussy character by claiming that Aussies were best and few ups and downs were because of Aussies not playing. I think the success of Rajasthan Royals is also because of few promising youngsters who performed well for their team. I am sure Chennai Superstars will emerge back in next round and will not have the effect of aussies leaving them on the team. Suresh Raina, Dhoni, Morkel will definetly do well in coming matches.
