Even after being in existence for over a century new rules are being made all the time and new formats introduced. This only goes to show that cricket as a game unlike football is an incomplete game requiring the juggling around with the rules and formats to hide its flaws and preventing it from getting extinct. It is really pitiful to see India a nation of billion can only do good in a game like cricket which is played in less than 10 countries and which is not even recognized as a sport by the olympics committee.
Instead of 20-20 test matches why not think of a restricted maximum 90 overs first innings and an unrestricted number of overs of second innings, test match? this will remove boredom and will have results. i think this is the real future for test matches.
