T20 is fast-paced and a wonderful vehicle to attract wider audience. On a technical level, it probably has impacted Test cricket.
Test cricket is still important, so are ODIs, but T20 should be there too because of the crowd factor.
The Twenty20 is itself a banal game, a crude game, but it works, so I hope Twenty20 commentary works.
I think T20 cricket has become the flagship spectacle for women's cricket.
T20 is generally the fun side of cricket. You've got to have a sense of humour. Some days you can turn up and get whacked. Next game turn up, bowl the same and you don't go for many. You have to take it as it comes.
It's good to draw spectators to the grounds, but I don't think Twenty20 will help you produce good Test cricketers.
Traditional cricket has gone out of the window. It's gone. T20 cricket has changed the game.
The great thing about T20 is that it only takes one performance. One piece of individual brilliance can win a game and that can change the whole way you approach a tournament.
When you start off a T20 innings you want someone who is going to be hitting the top of off stump, causing problems and being quite disciplined with the ball.
It's Twenty20, anything can happen in the format. It's very difficult to predict and pick a favourite team in this format.
You need different skills to do well in 50-overs cricket. You need completely different skills to do well in Test cricket. You need different skills to do well in T20 cricket. It is not the same.
I've never been a massive advocate of international Twenty20 cricket except a World Cup every two or three years, because that gets the best players together.
I would say T20 cricket has introduced a more positive attitude in players and led to Tests also being played more aggressively and being more result oriented.
T20 may be fast, but still, you never plan for a T20 - the same way you don't plan for the other formats.
T20 is an unpredictable format, so you cannot rule out any team's chances.
T20 is a game where you must expect the unexpected.
One-day cricket must be taken with equal importance to Test cricket.
Earlier in the shorter format, I was not consistent, so I was not getting noticed. But I always believed that I had the game to do it. It was just about consistency.
I've always enjoyed playing the shortest form of the game and I relish the opportunity to develop my leadership skills as England's Twenty20 captain.
You have T20 and that also plays a part in some of the shots batsmen play. You see guys playing the same shots in T20s and Tests and are sometimes lucky to get away with it.
I always found one-day cricket a lot harder. I had to change my game.
There is a lot of talk about how Twenty20 has changed batting techniques in Test cricket. But it has also had an impact on bowling.
Twenty20 is must for cricket. Without T20, cricket cannot survive.
Playing Test cricket for one's country is the ultimate, but people are enjoying Twenty20 format because everything will be over within three hours.
T20 is good entertainment. It is a game you need. People go to watch it. You have to be careful how far you let it go.
