Is it easy umpiring a Twenty20 game?

By the frenetic nature of Twenty20 format, one would have thought that umpiring is difficult as too many things happen at a rapid pace.

However, according to Billy Bowden, it is difficult to umpire a Test match as there are long periods of relative inaction. This could lead to umpires losing focus.

Do you think umpires have it easy in a Twenty20 game?

Bowden is right. Test match is mostly sleepy game especially in the first two days,
I dont know abt the difculty in umpiring T20 but I know for sure it is lucrative.

with referral system in place from ind-sl series umps can surely take a nap or two in tests...

as for t20 game...its highly demanding coz your every signal starts a 'routine' near boundary rope which can be very distracting... ;-))
