Did anyone watch this and what were your thoughts? I saw the last 3 balls so cant really make informed comment, but it looked to be on a par with 20/20 - CRAP!

Absolute crap. The only thing going for it was the players being miked up. Some of the comments were gold.

It was just a bit of fun and marketed as such. 20/20 on the other hand is a bit of fun taking up space on the real cricket calendar using first class players. Junk cricket will lead to an obese sport...fat with sloggers but a little thin on the ground when it comes to trying to unearth the next McGraths and Warnes...

I'd take out the word 'cricket' and place the word 'the' in front of world

This raises a question for discussion. Who would you consider to be the ugliest cricketer you've seen?
My early nomination would be for Paul Nobes. They used to use his face as a mold for gorilla bisscuits.
