Is the Twenty20 format ideal for the Olympics?

Texan billionaire Allen Stanford says 'IPL can be an Olympic sport within a 10-yr span'

Even though the Twenty20 format suits the Olympic Games, I for one, would prefer to see the 50 over (ODI) game in the Olympics.

Which would you prefer, the 50 over or the Twenty20 format?

Now, the English will be insufferable too.

A third successive ODI win against Sri Lanka gave England an unassailable 3-1 lead in a five-match series and secured a first series win in Asia - the novices of Bangladesh apart - since Mike Gatting's side beat Pakistan 3-0 in 1987.

One can visualize how the English will go to town about this victory. Suddenly, from no-hoppers, they will become numero uno’s of the ODI’s.

The pity is in order to make something of this achievement; they will necessarily have to put the Sri Lankan team on a pedestal.

Obviously, the English will now start to pontificate like the Australians about Cricket and become as insufferable as them. Surely, Collingwood can look forward to a Knighthood.
