As said I also think the basics remain the same however personally I think 'technique' is over-rated. Technique only comes under criticism when the batsman is not playing well however if you're basking in runs, no-one ever criticises. (technique with Pros varys massively - what works for one doesn't for the other). The thing to get right is temperament (easier said then done). You can bat with your back the bowler but if you score a hundred every game � why change it?!

As for playing the game faster and feeling the pressure of T20 run chasing/ getting � one thing which batsmen at club level don�t give a lot of president to is rotating the strike. If you run the ball down to third man for a single rather than playing it back to the bowler you�ll not only feel less pressure but also not give the bowler/ fielding team time to settle. So if you can't put it in a gap for 4/6 then you�ve not wasted a ball.

I would say this is where mental strength comes into play. If you are mentally strong and can comlntrol yourself, then you can refrain from slogging irrespective of the run pressure being mounted.

Personally, T20 cricket is just a more positive mindset, for example, dropping the ball and running, I feel that as long as you are rotating the strike and punishing the bad ball, whereas in the longer form I would often let balls go and just punish the bad ball, in T20 i look to hit the good balls for 1's and 2's an punish the bad balls heavily. There is also a lot to be said for innovation, and using the pace of the ball. like lifting the ball over the slips, or reverse sweeping, however, you do not necassarily need to smash it out the park.

Personally being a naturally attacking batsman (113* of 63 balls)
I thought 20/20 would be perfect for myself, but ERROR
Everytime i play t20, i end up trying to hit every ball (even the good ones) to the boundary!
Really cocks up my technique when going back to the 50 over format as i start to see every ball as a bad ball and heaving away

The innovation of reverse sweeps and scoops has given me more ways to get out while making myself look stupid!

queue all the senior pro's/club vice presidents shaking their collective heads and muttering about the idiocy of youth and "that is just how I play" as a terrible excuse and how they never played like that in their day (memory dulled due to drinking of pink gin)
