One over each? One ball each? Or maybe let's just say whoever wins the toss is the winner? The logical conclusion is to add even more 'excitement' by having the bowlers replaced by huge robots that can also transform into cars - let's see how Yuvraj Singh likes that. Mark Ramprakash would probably explode if this was attempted... so let's try it. Where will it end? One over each? One ball each? Or maybe let’s just say whoever wins the toss is the winner?

Younger players who find the demands of 50 overs all too taxing for their concentration and uncontrolled hyperactivity can be safely placed in twenty/20 teams so they will feel their place in society is justified. Ditto their fans. Some, like Sreesanth, may need to start with Ten/10 in order to learn a little self-control first before they are allowed to join the bigger boys. Unfortunately, recent studies have shown that such players are unlikely to ever be able to meet the demands of playing with the men at Test level. 20/20 is the ADHD of the cricketing family.
