Twenty20 is a great game which rewards good skill and teams that play with a plan. It also weeds out players who cannot think on their toes, or adjust quickly to knew scenarios. This is because a game can change in one over, there is no time to sit back and let things play out. Its 100% commitment 100% of the time with no place for screw ups.
In a normal 50 over ODI, your “short term” is 5 overs. Typically your opening bowlers do their 5 overs, then you change. Why they dont change bowlers every over is beyond me. The problem is with all the “old dogs” in the cricket fraternity that cant learn the new tricks.
In comes Twenty20:
At last there is a game that forces captains to stop being so predictable in EVERYTHING they do. We are seeing spinners open the bowling, big hits and also front foot no balls properly punished.
Gone are the days of “consolidation”. Hell man, you have a bat, use it! If a bowler is pinning you down, you’ve got to man handle your way out from under him! You’re not “teaching him a lesson” by blocking.
Now thats what twenty20 is all about. Owning the bowler!
To add to that, stroke play is a farce! Is it not true that one only notices stroke play when it gets a result? That is, 4 or 6 runs? If kallis didn’t hit boundaries, he might as well resign. We need to get to the root of it, runs is ALL that matters. People remember runs, not poses. And runs win matches.
Twenty20 is teaching batters to grab the game by its ears and steer it!!
Smith has this ability, so does Kallis if you piss him off correctly. AB has luck on his side most of the time, he’s simply not strong enough to clear the ropes.
I would like to see our national twenty20 side consist of 8 batsman some of which to be part time bowlers, and 3 all rounders. That is all! you dont need proper bowlers. The slower the bowler, the better because u cant get them away.
The short term in twenty20 is.. wait for it.. 1 over. You need to TOTALLY REACCESS the situation every over, otherwise you’re going to lose touch, just like botcher did the other day, he totally forgot how many overs there are in a 20 overs game and started “consolidating” when it was 8 overs from the end.
His mistake was that you cannot use percentages and compare the game to a 50 overs game. Over 25 in a 50 over game is ABSOLUTELY NOT the same as over 10 in a 20 over game. You’re 10 overs from the end!! Start hitting a$$hole!!!
I do not know why I have to tell people this, I surely can’t know more than the captains or coaches?? Or could I?? Most of these guys are jock rippers of the nth degree who have never grown up.. they’re all boy-tjies with the maturity of an angst ridden teenager.
Anyone have an email address for the cricketing society?

Its come to my attention that certain individuals within my peer group are not making the connection between bullshit and deductive intuition.
The old adage of "bullshit baffles brains" remains true in most cases. If you act like you own the place, people think you do. This has worked wonders for me (and others) in getting into "VIP" areas and the like.
The reason this works so well, is because the person you are normally dealing with is either not fluent in English, or has been conditioned to thinking that white people are normally in charge of things- this makes it easy.
The problem comes in when trying to baffle someone of similar social standing, or even ones friends. Here, we experience the phenomenon of what happens when an unstoppable force hits an immoveable object.
Both people in question are cocky young whipper-snappers who both think they are right, and will push their self-biased opinions past their companies tolerance levels. HOWEVER, what these kids dont realise is that some people are more right then others.
Someone once told me that doctors are really clever and should be respected. Can you believe that! This cannot be further from the truth. What has happened now is that the very bullshitter, has become the bullshitted! Cunningly, the quack has succeeded in pulling the wool over the eyes of these naive nilly's and fooled them into believing that doctors have an appreciable amount of intelligence.
Now i feel it is time to explain one thing -this is the corner stone of my opinion: Doctors do know ALOT! They have been reading for 7 years!! Who wouldn't!! 7 years!! I could do several collections of encyclopedias in that time! The problem is, they have not been trained to USE their meticulously (moronically) acquired knowledge! That is why they do not know what they are doing, that is why they shouldn't be rich, that is why i dont like them, that is why they are RAtards, and that is my gripe.
"Power is nothing without control" –Perrelli©
It means nothing to have knowledge if you dont know how to use it.
Now, back to deductive intuition, as a formally trained engineer, I have been put on a scrupulous conditioning course designed to do just one thing: to teach me to solve problems. Thinking out the box, entrepreneurship, being creative and all that other "team-leader-board-room-bullocks" is marketing mambo-jumbo for bullshitters. We're not interested in that, give us the problem, we'll solve it, DONE. To paraphrase, I neither have the time, nor the inclination to think about how I'm going to think about solving a problem. Just solve it from the hip! Go on, be a man!
Now, we don't need half the amount of information say, a quack needs to make simple deductions. Our way of thinking is logical, we live in a world where logic rules! And a logical mind reigns in a logical world, and I'm a logical guy. That reminds me of a song and a topic : materialism, but we'l leave that for another day.
A quack on the other hand, fills his mind with knowledge in the hope that it will help him, but when asked to solve a problem, he's all at sea!
(So, as we circumnavigate the topic of deductive intuition just as a great white circles a seal, we go in for the kill)
With very little knowledge, but with saturated know-how, I am able to talk with vindication and confidence on topics I apparently know nothing about, but upon further examination, useful outcomes are, more often then not, readily obtainable.
A perfect example of this is my apparent vocabulary. If a doctor wrote this note, you plebs would say, wow, what an intelligent hero. But since an engineer wrote it you would say, oh, he used Microsoft office "synonyms" and google to check the definitions.
I did.
Now i ask you this, does it matter?? Both scenarios furnish the same results. The only difference is, the "intelligent quack" will charge you an exorbitant amount of money for having acquired this regurgitated "intelligence" whereas the engineer, will go on and do something else, just as great and in a different field.
Engineers also have individuality, and my offerings to this are assertion and coolness. The world needs to feel my presence!! hence: deductive intuition with balls.
Have a nice day
