T-20 cricket to me represents the whole conscience of the society we live in today. We want quick results, we are intolerant for failure. The slower but more solid players of old like Dravid are not valued; what is valued is the quick cameos by the Yusuf Pathans.
But where is this taking us to.
Early burn outs, a lot of one match wonder, a loss in the concept of solid foundation, a loss in the ability to give second chance to those who fail.
We as a society today respect speed, be it someone who earned quick bucks, someone who reached a higher position quickly without looking at the means used to get there. Most of the times the effort of those who actually work for society are easily forgotten. There is a mad rush to the top, cause the concept of everyone being respected has been lost. Anyways its no longer are people who are respected, its just money.
Another aspect to the issue is that we are not ready to look for solutions by discussions any more, but would rather fight or kill someone to get the work done, cause patience is no longer a virtue we carry along.
Damn ... sometimes I just become so pessimistic ! These are just thoughts. May be there are brighter things coming out of all this, may be i am just missing a basic point, but till then T20 for me is the face of the impatient society of today.
