What crime did the bowlers commit for them to suffer such torture? Is there a role that the bowlers have in the Twenty20 form of cricket other than being made scape goats to be mercilessly slaughtered by the batsmen? If the idea of the tournament is to allow the public to enjoy watching some brutal batting displays, why not replace the bowlers with a bowling machine?
I feel that the bowlers in a team can be replaced by batsmen and then a bowling machine can be introduced to throw balls at the batsman. The captain of the team can be allowed to choose the speed, the type of delivery and may be some other finer variations regarding the delivery. He can control all this from the field using a wireless controller or some other highly sophisticated device. This approach has the benefit that it allows a team to be fully loaded with batsmen (which I am sure the public would not complain about) and also spares the bowlers of mindless brutality they are put through (And I am sure the bowlers would not complain about this). What you guys say???
