Maybe so but I think we're witnessing a genuine shift in hitting abilities and it's going to affect all formats.

This would explain why Narine is spanking it so sweetly.

Guys like Kohli, Buttler going to be very valuable then

It's this range-hitting thing that's sneaked into batting terminology. I'm sure they are implementing drills from other ball-sports behind the scenes. Pretty cool tbh.

I actually enjoy it, this is what T20 is all about ..Sound like an old fogey, but these highways are pretty boring . I don't mind them now and then but **** me its nearly every game.
Hopefully the WI roll out very slow pitches where 150 is unchasable.
Sixes and fours ..
Chasing 260 in a T20 is freaking awesome viewing
Wasn't bowling fit the last couple of years. Declared his fitness and willingness to bowl this year, but has only managed 1 over that went for 28.

Yeah something visceral about hearing that crunch off the bat and the ball sailing into the night sky. Last thing I wanna see is some tuk-tuk chasing 150, make a farce of an already-farcical format.

Agree, World Cup will be very different.
Also, no extra batsman for each team either.

What I want to see is one of these bottom-scraping teams go on an absolute tear in the remaining 4-5 games. Don't want either RCB or Mumbai doing it, so has to be on Bairstow and gang. Don't care if they lose, just bash 275+ in every outing.

Whatever it takes!!!
England need Bairstow at his best for T20 World Cup - they should bring him home from IPL
Despite a poor winter, Jonny Bairstow remains integral to England's hopes of defending their 2022 title

Return of the anchor.
I will also add some info on the most recent tour of the Caribbean by the English (we won 3-2). In one game, England made 267…which we got relatively close to, if we had 5 more wickets….we were bowled out for 192 in 15 overs.
The wickets are gonna be decent.

Yeah, it was thrilling to see your Proteas team casually chasing 258 last year against us.

Also ran out Prabhsimran with a direct hit.
The only guy that tried to really have a go at him got out. They neutralized him by just playing him out. It was fortunate

some coach explained that this is the reason why there has been so many sixes

In Tests it'll entirely depend on conditions. Any team that wants to roll out a dead, even-paced road, watch out.
