"Twenty20 has been spectacularly successful. In its first year, 2003, the 45 games between the English counties drew an average of more than 5,000 spectators each, dwarfing attendance at other county games. Last year there were 52 matches, and a 12 percent increase in attendance. The first Twenty20 match at the Lord's ground, home of English cricket, pulled in a crowd of 26,500. This coming summer (2005) will see a further expansion, to 79 matches."
