Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]
In the future, T10 may become the preferred format and T20 may face the same fate as that of test cricket and ODI. Nowadays viewers want maximum action within a short duration, and T10 is very much suited for that purpose. And who knows? It may make cricket more popular in markets such as USA and Japan, where baseball is dominant.
I don't think the T-20 format will disappear anytime soon even after T-10 becomes more popular since there are a large section of fans currently who are actually willing to watch them from start to finish.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!!
After that BCCI will take care of everything.
Lol. A better solution would be to host global matches like before(Asia vs Rest of the World). This is similar to royal rumble matches in the WWE.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!!
After that BCCI will take care of everything.
I wouldn’t be surprised if T10 became popular in the future, but I feel that 10 overs are too less for a proper entertaining match and hence I believe that T20 will survive in the long term too. @JSRAW both the current India and Pakistan team are strong so they could definitely make it to the finals of a T10 World Cup in a hypothetical scenario, but BCCI won’t launch T10 because smaller format means less ad revenues for BCCI.
