T20 is quite low when you compare it with a sport like basketball, football or ice-hockey.
After every ball there is a pause, after every over there is a pause. The action is not non-stop. While in F1 the action is generally non-stop from start to finish (unless there is a Safety car period, where too the cars do not stop)

T20 is slow as compared to power sports like football, hockey.. u dont't understand real speed and power. before T20, u may b thinking ODI as fast.. but now u realised how slow it was..

Football is the world's most enjoyable game! It is played by most countries in the world and all it needs is a ball...unlike cricket where you need a bat and ball.
Cricket cannot even compare itself to football when it comes to enjoyment.

yeah really enojyable. 1, 2 or 3 goals scored in 90 minutes is really enjoyable, isn't it?

Definitely more enjoyable than watching batsman tap the ground, move th sight-screen, adjust centre gaurd, bowlers slowly walking back to their bowling mark, fielders jogging to fetch ball from boundary, batsmen walking singles.
Atleast in football even if there are few goals it is usually 90 mins packed with action.

Sandeep, Please take some time to read what I said. I only said that it is played by most countries around the world and hence the most popular sport.
I have not said, hence India too should play football. India can continue playing cricket and need not feel guilty about it.
However, the fact still remains: Football is the most popular sport in the world!

quite right. but cricket suits indians since we are basically lazy and stupid by nature. in addition, indians physique is very very low quality. so we cannot wear shorts. thus cricket is a good options for us. it suits our breed.

i am not stupid and lazy. i am a double post graduate and am starting a PhD, and i can play most games quite well. i am talking about indians in general. indians are lazy, stupid and have a v poor low quality physique. sports requires a sort of a sporting intelligence which even top indian sportsmen lack.8

A suggestion!
If you are ignorant and not very well educated, it is not something you must broadcast to the world. On the contrary guard it like a secret! Only ill-informed people have such opinions about PhD

partner, only average sportsmen from australia, new zealand, south africa and england go to cricket. most people in england don't watch cricket and don't even know much about it. top sportsmen play rugby, football, athletics etc. but their low grade sportsmen are good enough to beat out top players because we have poor quality genes and frail, weak physique. also lacking in basic common sense and sporting intelligence. slow game like cricket suits us.
