Re: I tell you something ........... by Anurag Rathore on Jun 02, 2009 06:22 PM I enjoy all format in cricket. T-20 can't end test cricket but globalize the cricket.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: I tell you something ........... by Dire Straits on Jun 02, 2009 07:26 PM That's precisely the point. Even I enjoy T20, but I'll never let that grow beyond Tests and ODIs in my mind. T20 helps in globalizing the sport which is awesome. But it should not grow at the expanse of the other 2 formats.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: I tell you something ........... by vinay on Jun 03, 2009 01:02 AM true. but test ckt (esp their pitches) also has to learn giving results after 5 long days. else its meaningless to end 5day match as draw.    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: Who will watch test cricket by DEV ASHISH on Jun 02, 2009 07:03 PM I think such people can go and watch a movie as well. I agree that cricket needs to be spread. but test cricket is not matched by any other form. it is the best for true cricket lovers.    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: Re: Re: Who will watch test cricket by M Prabhu on Jun 03, 2009 03:00 PM i fully agree with prasanna. i have been watching cricket for the last twenty years. i used to watch oneday matches only rarely test match if shewaq bat. i am also true lover and a cricket player, playing cricket till now. In my opinion test matches should not be conducted hence forth. only T20 which only making us not to miss even a single ball and single minute away from that. we want this type of excitements only.    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: Test cricket is goneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee by Ajay V on Jun 02, 2009 07:38 PM You just can replace a Sachin Tendulkar, sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxamn, Azhar, Sunil Gavaskar etc... by playing just 200 balls.... T20 is just a gamble... u just need some luck and hit some balls out of the park. it just doesnt test ur skills both physically and mentally.. I think all of them who have played cricket or who loves cricket would join me.. could u please recall the 2nd test match between India and Newzealnd in Nezealand where G. gambhir was forced to bat 2 full day to save the test match..... welll that was equally enthralling ... that truly tested his charcter, patience and quality... yes t20 is fun but its not THE CRICKET which every cricketer would love to showcase his talent.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Test cricket is goneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee by ramakrishnan s on Jun 03, 2009 02:46 PM Boss, did gambhir win the match for india or was he playing Malcom Marshall, Holding, Roberts and co for us to go ga ga over it? I don't mean to run down the performance of gambhir, sure he is a fine player, but ultimately it is the win that matters, not how many matches u saved! U don't become a top team by saving matches, but by winning matches regularly. Both test cricket and 20-20 are complimentary to each other, we need to accept that instead of arguing for or against it.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Test cricket is goneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee by srinath amarnath on Jun 02, 2009 08:08 PM If you want to ban test cricket then cricket itself wont exist. Your so called T20 is just a promotional game for the cricket. Is trailer alone is enough for you to watch rather than a full length movie?........    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Test cricket is goneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee by Vignesh Srinivasan on Jun 02, 2009 11:56 PM "Toku Toku Toku & score century in 1.5 days & double century in 4 days"... dats much tougher than scoring century in a twenty over format.. u jus need to hav sum luck to score century in t20.. jus swing ur bat in a stupid manner.. ball wl go sumwhere.. n here, u score a century.. bt its nt da same wid test n ODI.. u need to stick in dere...    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Re: Test cricket is goneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee by M Prabhu on Jun 03, 2009 03:06 PM if the players are making century by luckilly in T20. dont watch it enjoy with test by seeing their physical and mental strengths. i believe akash chopra, sanjay bangar are all superstars for you.    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: T20 by Ajay V on Jun 02, 2009 04:56 PM Hahaha... Who wants the ladies to watch cricket and who wants ladies to cheer up with cricket... I am passionate about cricket not by the sexy looks of the ladies jumping around.. but rather by the skills of the cricketers be it in the test format or ODI... I think Sachin is correct, not obnly sachin but almost every one who loves cricket passionately and knows cricket would love to watch a 5 day test rather than a 6 hour extravaganza... I think most of us would have enjoyed the recent India Australia Test series better than the just concluded IPL... You just dont count on women with your idiotic thought... welll you just follow cricket and you will be mesmerized to see a huge number of women watch all forms of the game....    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: Re: Re: T20 by Ajay V on Jun 02, 2009 06:38 PM oh man.... once again wat r u telling.. i just said that a huge number of ladies watches test match cricket just like the other forms.... dont count the chickens before they hatch..... i dont need to prove taht im noit a fundamentalist.. wat i said is that we dont care people like u (be it men or women ) who just watches t20 and dont know abt cricket to issue such idiotic thoughts    Forward   |   Report abuse
