Cricket betting fans can get there cricket free bets ready today for the Twenty20 tournament which starts this afternoon and no doubt it will be as popular as ever an attraction for all the fans who actually go to the grounds.

This form of cricket has grown to be a stadium-filler and is guaranteed to give entertainment, excitement, runs, wickets and cause for some bowlers to re-think their career directions. If you’re a pie throwing bowler like me, you know that sinking feeling as the ball is rapidly elevated into the stratosphere. The first optimistic thought is “catch?” But no. It continues it’s journey over the crowd and into the neighbouring streets and if there could be an eight scored in cricket, that would have been one!

 Go and watch one of these games live! I know many people who were never big fans of cricket but have been to a Twenty20 match and never looked back. Because there’s so much action packed into a short time frame, newcomers to cricket see everything happen, i.e. runs, wickets, etc, rather than having to wait through a day of test cricket.

You’ve also got to hand it to the grounds themselves for firstly preparing wickets that suit the batsmen and then encouraging other attractions for the kids - bouncy castles, fairground stand, food stalls. You really get a sense of a community event when you go.
