Double 20 competition

There is some talk in the local media, that South African cricket administrators could agree to a "double twenty" format of the game.

Basically the idea would be to have a T20 format of the game, but with both sides batting twice along the lines of a test fixture.

I'm all for anything that will boost the game of cricket, but I'm not sure that this is what the cricketing public is necessarily wanting?

We love T20 cricket because it is short and sweet and it provides a great social atmosphere - but if you are going to double the length of the fixture to make it roughly the same length as ordinary One Day Internationals, then the game hasn't really gone anywhere has it?

Dunno - what do you think?
