Everyone seems to agree that T20 cricketers are just too good. The nature of the game, the rules, and the playing environment all give batsmen advantages compared to bowlers, so there isn’t really much help for bowlers. Batsmen are able to take advantage of flat pitches, short boundaries and top quality bats to erect huge totals and earn their reputations as great cricketers.
This doesn’t mean that there aren’t many other players that can compete effectively in a time when batsmen appear to have every advantage over bowlers, and use their abilities to be genuine threats to batsmen. A prime example of their contribution to T20 cricket would be the number of dot balls they continually bowl.
