here in cricket we have three formats and things can manage easily without any issue like if someone is not interested in any format then management can ignore him for this format and look forward for the other options.

Yes you are right we have three formats in cricket like Test matches ODI matches and T20 matches. And the whole year we see the matches. And some people who really addicted. They love and enjoy the all matches. And the gambler predict and gamble and win or loss as there prediction.

And in world cup we see, those people too who don't have interest in cricket but they ask people about their country match, they ask who won and pray for their country.

It can be called a natural religion of man. Every cricketer has a fixed amount of salary, but they always want to be busy with earning more money. Every cricketer probably wants this. But it can be called greed when the national team player runs for money by throwing away the national game. I think the players should turn away from this attitude. T20 should be stopped for those who are not interested in playing Tests in the national team. If such laws are implemented then such behavior of players will not be seen. They will be forced to focus on all forms of cricket.

Now, we have commercialism in cricket like soccer but here we have few issues like soccer is just 90 minutes game, and we have few matches every year for every national team with mostly love to go for World Cup or their region cups with this all no issue but here in cricket we have three formats and things can manage easily without any issue like if someone is not interested in any format then management can ignore him for this format and look forward for the other options.

It's a simple way to have brought better competition because by force you can't take good performance and results from players as if someone is ignoring then banning him is also not positive result there all are not serious concerns management and players can settle things easily but right now we need to manage few leagues like right now we have too many leagues at once which is surely not positive for anyone.

Most chances this will survive for long time because we have good number of test format lovers in few countries like England, Australia and India with this we have no danger for this format even domestic set up will also help this because still many players are love to play this because they are feeling they are better and have good technique and skills which are helpful for having this format in their first choice

There is no denying the fact that Test matches are dying, how many audience you see during a match, even during the recently concluded Test series in Pakistan where the matches are held after a long period, the crowd was not there as expected and hardly you will see a full house crowd during Test matches unless it is the Ashes or the level of competition is good and majority of the players retire from the Test format early to focus on the shorter format and it is a fact.

Cricket is not just only a game. It is now one of the mediums of business. When cricket councils give more priority to money than the development of cricket, I think it is natural as a player to give importance to money. Due to which a player does not want to play in Test format. As long as he plays in the short format, he has a chance to earn good money. When this attitude is clear to the audience, they are also reluctant to go to the field.

A player's career is not always long. They also try to increase their income as much as possible in a short period of time. When a cricketer is out of the team, he does not have a good earning source even it is not equal for everyone. Test matches require long time and do not get proper money. Consequence of this it is natural that Test cricket will gradually become extinct.

I agree with you that players can get chance to earn But that should be as long as the national team is not suffers for that.
Because that position of players is created by being in the national team and he is paid a fixed salary to perform his duties.
So I don't think it should always be about earning money

I don't know whether that is the case everywhere. In India, the performance in the domestic 4-day competition (Ranji Trophy) doesn't guarantee selection to the national team. Guys like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sarfraz Khan have been performing exceptionally well year after year, and still the national selectors continue to ignore them. Even for the national team, the selection is made based on the performance in the IPL. Players with powerful backers in the IPL, such as Umran Malik and Mohammed Siraj find it easier to break in to the national team, while those who don't have this backing are always at a handicap.

Here are the top performers during the last edition of the Ranji Trophy. 12 months have passed and not even one of them was considered for the selection to the national test squad:

Surely this is big concern and not only in India this is happening in few other countries as well they are bringing players those have no good record in domestic and better players are not able to have their chances which is surely issue but no one can do anything about this all about India we have few positive things like now recently domestic leagues are improving in quality and performance which is good sign and with this pool is also very big which is creating headache for the selectors because they have to decide about only 15 to 20 players and it's not easy job for them to have things like these so just because of this many complaints and other mess up are also rising recently.

But hopefully things could be settled, and we will be able to have better fair system in near future which will end this all, and we will be able to have quality players in all formats from these domestic leagues.

There is no argument about this test cricket is one of the most boring sport right now but with this all you have to accept this also in few countries peoples still love this like recently we have big crowds in Australia and soon as we have cricketing season in England things could be completely different from Pakistan prospective because they are also facing serious troubles regarding their economy and many other factors are also preventing peoples from having good entertainment due to domestic issues but in rich countries and also in India which is well populated many are in love with this format and enjoy a lot even IPL and now WIPL are also on their full swing but cricket lovers are also had soft corner for this format as well, and they keep enjoying with this even many just check updates and highlights during their dinner.

You cannot day boring but yes it's a long stretched format of cricket which is difficult to be watched by anyone now, yes cricket lovers will follow highlights and updates for thier teams .
Recently Pakistan test series was really short if audiences as lesser people turned up to stadium but this isnot the case with every country.

I think cricket has to be fixed from the ground up. Because I do not understand, when everything is moving towards the shorter formats of cricket why most of the domestic cricket is being played in the test format?

ICC will stop their funding if cricketing nations stop playing FC cricket at the Junior level, U-19 etc.

I think test cricket will remain in place at least at domestic level. Only recognized players are retiring from test cricket while young players have to play test format at domestic level to qualify for National side and then perform well in Test and T20 to be recognized. ICC should choose between ODI and T20I because both are of same type while T20 is liked by majority of viewers.

Really unfortunate that Sarfraz Khan is not getting any calls. Fighting for a middle-order slot looks really tough to me. Having said that he should be in the squad in place SKY.

Management won't replace Virat at number 4
Shreyas Iyer already proved himself at number 5
6th slot is for WK batter (Bharat or Kishan)
7, 8,9 are for Jadeja, Ashwin and Axar respectively. If Jadeja is not fit then Kuldeep will take the spin slot and will bat at 9.
10 and 11 are for seamers

Rohit is fixed as an opener. KL Rahul is VC so he can't be dropped from the team at least for the first 2 matches. Gill is 3rd opener in the squad so it's hard for Yashasvi to get in.

Yeah... with insane amounts of cricket being played by star players nowadays, records will get broken more frequently. But I am not sure about test cricket. The national boards still give a lot of importance to this format, but I am not sure for how long this trend will continue. Already a lot of the main players are retiring from test format to concentrate on limited overs cricket. For the boards also it doesn't make any sense to invest heavily in a format that provides minimal returns. Sachin's records may get broken by Kohli. But who will break Kohli's record? It may remain for a while, since test format is getting obsolete.

Basically majority of people like the T20I because the ODI and Test cricket matches make people little bit tired and mostly people like T20I because it finished earlier as compare to the ODI and Test matches. And one more thing is that in T20 boundaries collection remain high as compare to others. Therefore people like T20 most.

No doubt we are currently living in a fast age with things are moving very quickly around us and mostly peoples having no enough time for watching these formats Test and ODI but still we have a big fan base those are still having love affair with these formats and if they are not able to watch matches in ground or at their homes but still they love to check updates on playing day because they are still having good feeling about these two formats and enjoy to check things on time.

Just because of this all we are having ICC doing few changes and bringing WTC and still going with the ODI world cup mean these formats could be stayed for few decades before going out of the reach for the next generation which could be more lazy from us as well.

Someday records gets broken. This is common with every sports, but the time taken to break the record matters. In that sense it is great achievement from Virat Kohli. Comparison is not a bad thing, because comparison helps with achieving further than stopping thyself. In my view comparison between Sachin and Virat Kohli is not wrong.

Definitely now few records are not considered to be broken because things are completely change in last 10 to 15 years with many players having early retirement from the International cricket or test format for giving themselves a better chance to play shorter format and having enough money before their retirement which is good for them but here I have to praise Australian Cricket because mostly they have good pool for the test format, and they play for 8 to 12 years then having retirement which is surely fair enough for many players but in India and England we have no things like these mostly they play more cricket and have not fair policy for the other formats as well which needs to be settled.

Even now things needs to change with two pools for the players and test format needs to be had enough salary which cover their career if they are not able to play other formats and just having good time in test format and domestic game with 3 or 4 days matches because this can bring good intention.

But otherwise, it's not very useful in this day and age. With others I also want to say, ICC should move on and forget about test cricket. Concentrating on shorter formats is going to be the best thing for ICC to do.

The experience from T20 and Test matches were completely different. For that we can't say the player who had performed well can't play good in test matches. In the past we used to hear the statement, Sachin's records can't be beaten. What is happening. Virat Kohli is so close and soon he'll beat all the records. Same as that, in bowling we've got legendary bowlers from Australia and for the same it doesn't mean the present bowlers are down to them in performance.

Sachin himself in an interview had said that one batter that can beat his record is Kholi. Sachin was from an era when an umpires was the only decision makers. Virat is from an era where apart from the umpires there are softwares that help the umpires to make a decision. Still if Kholi is able to beat Sachin's record then it is a great achievement for him.

Quote from: Sithara007 on January 19, 2023, 01:57:04 AM

Therefore I would still rate Sachin ahead of Virat. And one more thing. Sachin was a gentleman, both on and off the field. Unlike Kohli who behaves like a Baboon.

Sachin is a legend! These new age batters grew up watching Sachin play cricket. He is still a gentleman on and off the field. His simplicity is what made him the God of Cricket. I also agree Kholi behaves like a Baboon on the field not sure how he behave off the field.

Records are made to be broken by someone , and that's the fun of game . Sachin is an idol and all cricketers look up to him for his performance and his batting , he is the oneans no one can compete him .

Yes virat kohli might break his cricket records but he can't beat his politeness and personality and his good nature.

Someday records gets broken. This is common with every sports, but the time taken to break the record matters. In that sense it is great achievement from Virat Kohli. Comparison is not a bad thing, because comparison helps with achieving further than stopping thyself. In my view comparison between Sachin and Virat Kohli is not wrong.

Just looking at the stats, you can't compare Sachin and Virat. Sachin had to face the best of the best - Glenn McGrath, Brett Lee, Wasim Akram, Shoaib Akhtar, Waqar Younis, Curtly Ambrose, Courtney Walsh, Alan Donald, Shaun Pollock, Shane Warne, Muttiah Muralitharan.etc. And back then, cricket rules were also neutral towards the bowlers, with no free hit and field restrictions. Therefore I would still rate Sachin ahead of Virat. And one more thing. Sachin was a gentleman, both on and off the field. Unlike Kohli who behaves like a Baboon.

One main thing is before 2000 there was no Big 3 and every country has equal rights in ICC. Today whole cricket is controlled by T20 leagues. If you are not in good term with Big-3 Boards then very likely you will miss there leagues. T20 leagues on one hand have brought entertainment in cricket world but they have dark aspect also.

Many things can happen in the dark that have no basis in reality. I just want to say if they make any corruption, it will remain in the dark. There is nothing to prove it in the light. So naturally you have to accept these problems and adopt it. However, the Big Three did not happen easily in one day. Realize that those who are in the Big 3 are all in the leading position of cricket. Otherwise there is no one who is weak in cricket but involved in big three? Since financial support is now the most important ‍aspect in cricket, it cannot be accumulated or sufficient without the Big 3.
