I've seen a bit of T20 on the TV - but not live. Very dramatic I expect. Have you played much Ravi? It was my main sport in my youth. I wonder...I can imagine you as perhaps a left arm quickie. Maybe a whippy action off quite a short run? Bowling over the wicket you'd be slanting it across the orthodox right-hander, perhaps creating a little doubt in their mind as they reach to play or leave just outside the off stump in the 'corridor of uncertainty'. And maybe trying to get the odd one to hit the seam hard, rear alarmingly, and come back in at them? Just the thing to dislodge a stone-walling opening pair who are starting to look a bit too comfortable at the crease.
