Abstract
In the decade after 1995, Australian cricket was seen, by itself and its opponents, as the world leader in innovation, strategy and tactics. The expertise on and off the field was chiefly responsible for the Test and one-day international teams being ranked as the best in the game, and created debates over whether some of the sides were the greatest of all time. By the mid-2000s, another revolution was taking place, with the new Twenty20 concept stealing large amounts of focus away from the traditional formats. The high-tempo game, which is completed in 40 overs and about three hours, quickly attracted unprecedented crowds for domestic games across the cricket-playing world and soon had a rush of rich investors helping to create lucrative leagues.
