Yes. Life has become so hectic nowadays. We are having hardly any free time. I am staying far away from my hometown for the purpose of work, and haven't seen many of my close friends and relatives for many years. Whenever I have some free time, I try to be with my family, or travel to my hometown. Two decades ago, during school/college days I had enough spare time to watch or play cricket. But now this has also changed. Today's kids are overburdened with studies and extra-curricular activities, and they don't have much spare time. Even if they get some spare time, they spend it on mobile or Xbox.

Today our social life is altogether different what we have in 90s. Now friend means someone who like, follows and subscribe to you on social media. In 90s, youngster's our Mohalla (street) used to play cricket in afternoon till sunset. But now life is office, home, sleep and repeat.

I don't think ICC can do much to make Test or ODI more attractive to spectators when we have T20 format in place. One main reason is that life today is so fast that we don't have so much spare time for such lengthy formats. In bilateral series excluding India, there is hardly any interest in test and ODIs as stadiums are jam packed during T20I only.

That is the way the world is working right now and we have to keep up with it otherwise we are also going to stay behind. People who are working surely do not have enough time to watch cricket for a long time.

Kids nowadays also have a lot more work than we had in our time.
so they also don't have much time to watch cricket.

the world is moving really fast right now and people have to keep up with the time so they obviously have to give more importance to their work instead of watching cricket.

I am also hearing about it for the first time. I have played different type/format of street cricket but I have never heard about it or played it. How many players are allowed in each team considering only two players are allowed to bat. I assume each team will have a minimum of two players and they can also bowl. Then how many fielders and does it have a wicket keeper?

As I already mention just two players involved in this game for having batting and bowling, so only these two can bat and bowl with mostly this is going to play from four to Eight overs game and for players on filed it's also depended on mostly have six to eleven with all is going from their own teams, but only two players are involved in batting and bowling others only can field and have no role in batting and bowling.

Still we have many areas in our city where we have regular cups for these leagues because on week days we have too many players available for all things, but recently mostly peoples from rural areas are enjoying with them because in big cities we have now T10 and T20 formats are more involved.

I really don't think something like this is going to be good for cricket in the long run because that is going to change a lot in cricket and I don't think that will be healthy for cricket in the long run. Even if it is I think it should be way into the future.

Right now there is no reason why this should be implemented in any format of cricket. Right now I think the world really needs the T20 cricket to reach them and I think they will find it interesting because even in the current world it does not cost too much time. maybe in the future if something really needs to be done to get the time lessened I think it can be thought then.

Well.. it's not just the generation which started watching cricket after 2010. I started watching cricket when I was a kid in the 90s. Even I find test and ODI cricket intolerable nowadays. Even the ODI world cup has started to become boring. I didn't watched a majority of the matches last time. And apart from Ashes, I don't even follow the results from test match series. It is the responsibility of ICC to make test cricket more interesting. And right now they are not doing anything on this regard.

The generation who started watching or playing cricket after 2010 like only T20, for them test and ODI is a horrible thing. Test and odi are limited to bilateral series only, while T20 is in leagues and also in ICC T20 WC. But test and odi is necessary since you can get solid batsmen or bowler only through this format.

It's obviously not about the generation, it is more about the fast pace that everyone is moving in the world right now, and obviously, people are not going to have enough time to watch test cricket for one-day international cricket in this era, even the test cricket and one day cricket are more skilled versions of cricket. I really believe that T-20 cricket actually has a really good future in the whole world.

Listen the only people who actually watch test cricket the whole day has added those people who are trying to get into the cricketing scene. and as a player who is trying to learn something new by learning the very basics of the game, I think test cricket is the best way to do so. Otherwise, no one actually watches test cricket at this stage. I don't think this is going to change, it actually doesn't matter what ICC does about this.

Can't agree more that test is the core and fundamental part of cricket. You can learn techniques of batting and bowling only through test format. ODI and T20 is just about hitting and playing aggressively, in T20 there are no Fundamentals. This is why test is still recognised by all old cricket playing countries.

You were referring to post T20 era, yes at that time test and odi was what cricket is all about. Players were made from scratch for test. Now T20 is what cricket is about and sadly in T20 there is no technique. Its all about your luck in T20, thats why players like Hardik Pandya are so successful in T20.

Well.. even now we have players such as Steve Smith, Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteswar Pujara who are test specialists. But the big money is with T20 format, because nowadays hardly anyone have enough spare time to watch test matches live. You can always argue that if someone wants to learn the techniques of the game, then they should watch test cricket. That may be true. But what most of the fans expect is entertainment and not some technical training session. And that is why players such as Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya and Andre Russell are so popular.

Yes exactly and no one in his right mind is going to sit in front of the television for 7 hours when he has a lot of things to do, especially those people who provide for their families.
Even if someone decides to watch a one day international match for all the hundred overs, there is a very big chance that he might not enjoy it because often it can be one-sided. I think ICC will also start giving T20 more importance since the format is doing so well.

Initially ODI was of 120 overs, 60 each side. It was shortened to 100 overs, still odi takes quite a time to finish. For kids of 90s, odi is what t20 is today. We were super excited to see ODIs specially India Pakistan matches. Those were good old days when Pakistan and India used to play against eachother.

Nothing interesting in ODI cricket these days - what is coming up next? I am missing ODIs . Seems like Long since we discussed something interesting.
Which teams would you like to see playing? Mine is Pakistan and India and Australia and NZ.

I don't even know when I watched an ODI match for the last time. Nowadays IPL is going on, and before that it was the T20 World Cup in 2021. Fans are rapidly losing their interest in bilateral series. In most cases, the matches are one-sided and in case of test matches the host nations are preparing horrible tracks in order to get the advantage (examples are Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan in the last few months). Now we are so used to T20 format, that a match that takes 7 hours to complete sounds too long for us.

Can you explain what this double wicket tournament is all about, i was not able to find any article regarding this. I really liked the T20 version, if not i doubt i would be watching Cricket as i considered it as a long format to have the patience to watch the matches earlier but the introduction of T20 and the advent of cryptocurrency based gambling sites helped in learning the game. I am not a fan of T10 because it is hard to predict, even T20 is hard to predict and hence i doubt i will be watching anything that is shorter than T20.

I can give you some explanation about this because I personally involved in this for many years and enjoy too much this is mostly played in streets, and sometimes we have tournaments in big grounds it's all like we have Super Sixes in Hong Kong but here just two batsmen allowed for batting throughout format like four overs or six overs and every time you lost your wicket -10 or -5 cut from your scorecard.

But, you're allowed to play all your overs after this they calculate and if you are in plus then this set as target for other team and if you are in minus then still you are in match because you are also have chance for bowled out other teams in minus this was very interesting time but now recently due to some domestic issues mostly peoples forget about this format and replaced by these T5 and T10 which are still very popular.

I am also hearing about it for the first time. I have played different type/format of street cricket but I have never heard about it or played it.

There are only 4 teams that are competitive in test format. When a lower ranking test side such as Sri Lanka or Bangladesh plays against one of the big-4 sides, it almost always result in a mismatch. And the less talked about the associates, that better. 1-2 decades back, this was not the case. Even teams such as South Africa and West Indies used to be very competitive in this format. They had players who are tailor-made for test format such as Hashim Amla, Dale Steyn and Shivnarine Chanderpaul. We no longer get to watch any such players outside the Big-4 nowadays.

There is no doubt that future of cricket lies in T20 format. With so many leagues going on around the world, its now impossible to stay away from this format. Test and ODI can be carried out in bilateral series. One thing is very clear that no new country will join test or ODI format since it takes so much time for completion.

There are only 4 teams that are competitive in test format. When a lower ranking test side such as Sri Lanka or Bangladesh plays against one of the big-4 sides, it almost always result in a mismatch.
