Tests have helped Stubbs

When T20 cricket was first introduced, purists brushed it off as a bash-and-dash format which didn't require the same level of skills as longer forms of the game.

Over the last two decades, however, it has developed into the most popular format, and it has been widely credited for keeping fans attracted to the sport.

And while it does favour batters, it requires significant all-round skill, and bowlers and catches can still win matches.

For evidence that having hard-hitting batters is not enough for teams to win T20 matches, we don't have to look further than Tristan Stubbs' latest performance for the Proteas.
