Why is everyone so against 20/20?

Aside from the ignorance-fest for some of the preceding posts, I don't see any reason to reduce the wickets to 6 or 7 and you're all out. You see nearly as many wickets falling in Twenty20 as you do in ODs, what with players adapting and taking more risks as necessary and so forth. So there's no real point and there would need to be good reasons to have such a change.

I have no problem with the no-ball situation being tinkered with tho. Two runs and a free hit is harsh for a front foot no-ball, particularly when you can bowl other sorts of no-balls and it is not a free hit - I'd be more inclined to have it the other way around personally.
