Thread: Cricketing skills test players vs ODI players vs T20 players!

Please don't say that every player is best in his game format. My question is which format player is better to handle all three formats. I feel test players are the better players in all three formats. Players like kallis, dravid and kumble proved this fact. What do you think?

Tests players have a great concentration levels than other format players. New generation players cannot show such concentration like old players. Old players can stay 10 hrs a day on crease but they cannot dive like youngsters and run fast like them. Finally an ODI player is quite skillful than test and T20 format players example Sehwag, Gambhir, Zaheer.

Test players are very skillful than T20 and ODI format players. Remember test match is all about concentration, whereas T20 games are all about hit it out get out scheme. ODI players are capable of managing in T20 formats but they can't handle the pressure in test matches.

Cricket is losing audience day by day. In today's busy life why people wants to watch a days cricket match or a 50 over one day cricket match? Life has become very fast and besides cricket there are different other games that are becoming popular such as football which is gathering some attraction towards Indian audience. So T20 cricket is going to be liked by everyone and skills doesn't matter for anyone.

I agree with you sweetangel. Now a days people are looking for some fun rather than classic cricketing spirit. That's why we can watch cheer leaders jumping and dancing to entertain spectators. But even test cricket is encouraged depending upon teams like ASHES CUP, M-POWER SERIES, BRADMAN-GAVASKAR CUP. So coming to the question, cricket skills should be compared differently likes slog players and classic players.
