Thread: T20 cricket killed the ODI format ?

The Gentleman's game - Cricket underwent an image makeover with the T20 Cricket format. Gone were the day-long cricketing events. Cricket got its own dose of celebrity quotient and glamor in the shorter version. But many feel that the instant version of cricket has killed the ODI format? Do you agree that T20 Cricket has killed the ODI Cricket ?

The T20 format hasnt killed ODI, although yes it has affected the taste of the audience but, according to me as a loyal cricket audience both have their own charm.....

For international popularity of sport this is necessary. Cricket is not in Olympic because of same reason. Olympic almost always demands events to be of short duration with at least 16 participating countries. Cricket with ODI format was not completing these 2 requirements consistently....though there are 25+ countries with ODI teams but they are not "Competent enough" as per IIC norms. So, still only 9 teams are hardcore cricket teams. Now, T20 adds to the uncertainty of the sport which means more countries will get chance in near future.

By the way, "ODI Cricket killing Test Cricket" was said in the initial stages of ODI cricket.

T20 Cricket killing Cricket is simply a -ve point. because its another game one day cricket is another game and test cricket is another game. the pace is changing and we also so know ke time ke saath sab kuch change hota hain yaar

well the T20 has not really killed the ODI format but it has affected the ODI game. the T20 game is a very fast going format game and people enjoy a lot with more suspense. people have liked this format and on the other hand ODI seems to be a little longer and boring gameplay when compared to T20

for the cricket fans both T20 Cricket and ODI Cricket Formats are still the favorite. i think the T20 format has drastically affected the Test Cricket matches which run for 5 days. it is normal that it would seem boring to watch a cricket match for 5 days when there are matches like T20 which are very fast and full of suspense.

No way, ODI format has it's own craze. May be T20 format has made cricket a little bit faster but real cricketing fans are always with classic cricket stokes. First 15 over power play, next 25 overs of slow drama with slow bowlers and last 5 overs of slog play does pull fans attraction on it.

may be u can say beacuse these day onlu T20 game is palying regularly.
