Due to the advent of 20-20, test cricket(5 days game) is becoming less view. Do you think we should stop it and conduct only 50overs and 20overs?
I agree that all forms of cricket are basically time pass and should be played when we have nothing else to do,main concentration should be on Olympic sports,let's not forget that cricket's not the most popular game,even in England,where the attendance at a club football game in 2nd division in England is higher than test/one-day/20-20 matches involving national team.If you look closely at the crowds of these test matches in England,it is mostly composed of expatriates,NRI's and people of South Asian region settled in England.So,my dear friends,we are making a mountain out of a molehill, that's cricket in the world of sports, where less than a dozen countries take it seriously and only half of that take it passionately,which is South Asia.Only we South Asians are breaking our head,wasting our time,discussing it ad nausem over these fora,while Michael Phelps,Ryan Lochte rake in gold medals at World swimming championships,UAE thrash India 5-2 in World cup football qualifiers etc
Thanks,Ayan for referral.The gentleness of cricket is in its application.There is no doubt it is purely a time pass. You can trace similar passe in India.Kite flying started during monsoon when almost all forms of activities come to standstills.Now the cricket has attained the status of 'magma',the reverse googly is of no use.
There cant be any argue which is the purest and true form of Cricket. Ofcourse - its TEST Cricket.
Its Good that other forms (T20) is getting much highlighted and well marketed as well but that does not mean we should curb the real form.
One could watch Rahul Dravid in ongoing Tests B/w India & England and could find the real beauty of test Cricket. One will also get the fact and real answer for the above query.
One can doubt/argue over Mathew Hayden's comment - that T20 is killing the real skills & technique (as it depends upon player/s who choose/take T20 for just hitting or using his better skill/s or variety and to improve upon) but one can't doubt his test innings and his technique/s or Brian Lara's or our own The wall...The God of Cricket....!!

Women can never every be compared to men. Just check the ratio of boys and girls in IITs & IIMs. |
To solve a big problem we need to create a small problem with the same concept of the bigger problem. It requires imagination. |
If you start at the low level, probably they will swindle the entire nation before it reaches the top. For Ex: Say suppose your a IAS officer and am working under you. Lets say that you collect bribes, now do you think I will keep quite. I too will... |
