Football spectators appreciate a bit of loyalty, and we're seeing that less and less. There are echelons of football, as in society, where some players are clearly mercenaries.

Twenty20 is cricket on speed. In an era of hectic lifestyles and falling attention spans, it gives spectators more drama and intensity in three hours that they would get from a whole-day match. And even though it is a heady cocktail of money, entertainment and media, at its core it is cricket.

Cricket cannot afford to throw up meaningless games before its benefactors, which is what spectators and television audiences are.

Everywhere you look, there is an opportunity to hurt yourself and we don't want F1 to be marred.
