Less wickets, more fun

Yet another posts on Twenty20! Twenty20 is great for audiences, who can have full entertainment and the match is over in three hours. But, it is a power game and a batsman's show. How can it be made more interesting? In a 50 over match, every team has 5 overs per wicket. That would lead to four wickets in a 20 over match. Accounting for the fact the 20-20 needs more runs to be scored, we can bring that down to say 3 overs per wicket. So, a team will have seven wickets. Not everybody needs to bat! That will cut down mindless slogging and bring better competitiveness.
