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...

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.
