Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self

IMO, T10 is not cricket. It is more like baseball. I am OK with the T20 format, but definitely not OK with T10. Why can't we ban this god forsaken format for the general wellbeing of cricket? If the ICC want matches to be reduced to 10 overs per side, then they should reduce the number of players from 11 to 6. Imagine this, 11 guys having a total of 10 overs. That is less than one over per player. Definitely not fair.

Understandable. However, I feel that T-10 format could attract a bigger audience primarily due to the length of the games. Many people don't even have time to fully watch T-20 games from start to finish which is where the T-10 format comes into the picture.

It would definitely feel unfair at first, but I am confident that viewers would get used to it pretty quickly.

T10 can only become more successful than T20 if the rules of this format can be tweaked. I mean at the moment it is completely like a T20 game but with less overs. Niether the batter gets a chance to settle nor the bowler has the opportunity. The format is too short for me and I still will prefer a T20 format over T10. By the way we are discussing it on the wrong thread.

Next test match between NZ and ENG starts on the 10th of this month. I hope the NZ team works on their batting more this time.

There is no need to change any rule imo. Quick solution would be.

Organise the T-10 WC and in the very first edition let India-Pakistan to qualify for the finals, followed by India winning by fine margin. Voila!! Grin

After that BCCI will take care of everything.
