2009 Twenty20 Cricket World Championship

This isn't your father's (or grandfather's) game of cricket

Most people associate cricket with long drawn out games that take multiple days and many cups of tea. Not Twenty20 cricket. Its a fast-paced, high scoring game where little mistakes make big differences.

For those of you new to cricket, Where We Watch will be here to guide you through all the fours and sixes.

The 2009 World Championship takes place in England as India tries to defend their title from South Africa in 2007. Right off the bat, the 2009 Championship has some drama as the Netherlands upset England on opening day (think the Dutch defeating Dominican Republic in the WBC).

We'll be watching, will you?
