Need for speed

There is no more glorious sight in sport than that of a cricket paceman steaming in to bowl, with his slips at the ready, and the batsman at their mercy. However, with Twenty20 and its vast incomes circles, you might wonder and worry that the fast bowlers of this world are an endangered species. Chris Rattue in the New Zealand Herald hopes to see a renaissance of personalities who can sustain pace in the game.

What's wrong with having a tie anyway. Nothing really. Gayle's roughhouse treatment of Daniel Vettori in the Super Over in the first Twenty20 at Eden Park had the New Zealand captain, understandably, taking a dim view of it all. David Leggat in the same paper takes a closer look.
