I’m interested to know what both of you thought about T20 cricket when you first heard of it. How open were you to the format?

I think we were both open to it, probably largely because as children when it was created - I was 12 — we were the target audience. I already loved the other formats but I remember watching some early games, and going to one in the first season, and thinking it felt like something new and different — and that it could be enjoyed alongside the other formats.
