Test Match, One Day or Twenty 20

Twenty 20 is the game for me,

As i think the sole purpose of playing any game is for entertainment and to have fun. And in Twenty 20 cricket i just am seeing that, the audience and the cricketers both are having fun.

I user to admire Test cricket before T20 have started. Its where the real cricketers ability is revealed. but after T20 have started, now I am admiring this new format just because of its entertainment it provides in such a short time. It hardly takes 3 hours and lot of power hitting and really joy to watch. But, got to see what happens to the longer version of the game in future

ya,, i agree with you. ODI or test match cricket are true cricket then entertaining 20-20. Player have to shown their talent and shown their skill in test cricket.

T-20
It's propotional to the difference between Bollywood movie (test match n one day) and a hollywood movie (t-20)

The soul of the cricket is Test Match.But one day is more important because 20-20 matches reduce the chances of the batsman of making a century.More over 20-20 is a batsman dominated game which is likely to be said imperfect cricket.

I cant say I like one and I don't like the other. I like all of them for various reasons.

Test Match:
It is the ultimate test of the talent and ability of a team. The longer the version the more consistent a player and a team needs to be to be successful. Its the performance of the bowlers that can win u matches. batsmen can only get u a draw at the most. 20 wickets need to be taken to win the match.

ODI:
The greatest advantage of ODI is that it tests the ability of a player and a team in a longer version but still it is over in a day. in a world where time is a scarce resource playing for 5 days is ok but watching it for 5 days is not usually possible. So from fans point of view ODI scores over Test match.

T20:
Simply for the entertainment value and the short duration it is having. The explosive batting and high speed of the game is the best attraction for any viewer.

I really don't think that any of the versions of the game can be compared to each other because each of the game has its own thrill and excitement. These days test matches are not that boring as it use to be so it too has its own thrill n excitement.For a guy like sehwag it doesnot matter whether it is 20-20,one day or test, for when he is in full swing he will go hammer and thong,same applies to most of the players these days, who follows the orthodox style of batting every one goess for the hammer and thong style which is what the public likes and that's what we want.


All the three format of the game is exciting and 20-20 has created a new genre which everyone can follow and enjoy for these days everyone is busy and doesnot have much time for them self let alone staying for the whole day in front of the idiot box,so this really is the need of the hour

Hello,sohel! Of the three versions of the cricket ODI is really enjoyable.in these busy days test cricket has lost the charm.no body likes to spend long five days to watch the game.moreover there is little chance of decision in a test match.in that sense it is boring.on the other hand one day games are most worthy to watch.it ends almost always with a result.it is most entertaining.in one day match the batsmen as well as the bowlers get equal opportunity to exhibit his talent.it has already gained popularity with the cricket loving people.however,i am not opposed to twenty-20 version of cricket.it has recently started and yet to prove its worth.it is in the experimental stage.in this short version of cricket neither the batsmen nor the bowlers get enough scope to exhibit his strength as they get very little time to adjust to the conditions of the pitch.i think it will never achieve the popularity as did ony day matches.thanx.

Hi,

In some ways what you say is correct, but the real skill between the bat and ball is in the test matches. Don't you think so. The way the game is played in the test matches, one team has to get the opposition out twice in the match and also score more than the other team. In that way I find test matches more challenging and interesting.
The format for the test matches can be changed a bit and made interesting. Everything would be very good.
All the types five dayer, one dayer and T 20 are different in their own way. Cricket world is a big one. We can accomodate all the three. Noone will lose anything. We can enjoy all the varieties of the game.
