kill-joys imo
The ideal situation would be to have the WC, 20/20 WC and the champions trophy...but with so much cricket going on these days...these tournaments are losing their effects. So, perhaps, it would be better for the 20/20 to replace th champions trophy...i mean 20/20 is fun and exciting after all!

I can't see how that would be ideal, with the Twenty20 World Cup and Champions Trophy likely to be squished in where there isn't room. The way I see it we should get rid of the Champions Trophy and hold the Twenty20 World Cup in it's place, meaning we won't be increasing the amount of cricket.
thats what i said...its NOT an ideal situation because of the huge amount of cricket being played these days!

Correct - and as it is TV money who cares if the ground ain't full (as it wasn't for england v Australia in the last two CT). As for the 20/20 WC - yes we should have it but not this year(we've already had one WC I think that is enough for one year). The logical thing to do is to scrap the CT and have the 20/20 WC in the odd numbered year that does not stage a WC. So the first 20/20 WC should have been in SA in 2009 but that is FAR too sensible for the ICC. To stage the 2009 one in England is crazy IMO because of the Ashes - play it before the Ashes it will be seen as a warm up, play it after and it risks being an anti climax.

Its the same thing with pretty much all sports these days.

Personally, as a Twenty20 fan myself, then I'd like to have a look at it. I can't really see any reason why it shouldn't happen, except the problem of player burnout. It does seem rather unnessecery in a time of such clustered international activity.

Well i would have to say yes because it gives some other players who don't get so much chance a chance to shine and push there way into the ODI side. Like Panasar may not play in the twenty20 world cup and some think that might give Doshi (From Surrey) a chance to shine.
