Too many breaks? T20Is are losing their flow

[tiger_khan]

The T20 version of cricket already requires the least physical exertion

Teams are taking two hours to bowl just 20 Overs

It's getting more and more ridiculous every day

T20 cricket should not even qualify as a proper field sport anymore.

Cricket started to decline as soon as T20 format became mainstream.

Just like fast foods made Americans obese, T20 made cricketers lazy (less effort, more money).

Never understood the point of the 5 minute break at the 10 over mark.

Ruins the entire flow of a match

We did not have break after 10 overs before. Not sure when this was introduced.

Everything feels like it takes an eternity to happen. The DRS reviews, the breaks between overs, the replays, the extended drinks breaks. What the point of it being T20 if it unfolds at such a plodding pace?

read between the lines - it gives time to both legal and illegal betting houses to set more bets

needless to say, more time for the sports channels to run the ads of the sponsors (selling of time slots)

T20 has become a corporate money circus

T20 cricket doesn’t have “flow” in the first place. It’s too short.
