"Cricket dying, needs T20 for survival"

"Cricket is a dying sport and I believe that Twenty20 is going to be beneficial for many reasons," Legendary West Indian batsman Brian Lara said.

"This new game has brought a different spectator. Not necessarily the right ones I think. But at the end of the day, spectators and television is what make sport and I'm very happy and very welcoming of the Twenty20 game," he said.

"I hope that we do see a little bit of artistry because right now it's a lot of 'wam-bam thank you ma'am'.
"I believe that at some point in time people are going to understand that there are tactical ways of playing it and then you are going to see the true talent," he said.
