When T20 matches are promoted they are often talked about as "fast-paced entertainment" or "rock n' roll cricket". It's time the officials changed their approach and came up with a more appropriate theme for a game that has the potential to be their major money spinner.They could do worse than promote T20 as "Entertaining cricket". At least that way the officials are pushing the notion that T20 is primarily a game of cricket that just happens to run a similar length to a foot stomping, arm-waving, hit-studded concert. This is important because the format will live or die on the standard of the on-field product rather than having the most scantily dressed dancing girls, the loudest music or the most famous faces in the crowd.
