Cricket is not meant to be popular. If it was so, then we could've seen many associate countries with their respective cricket team. They need to perform well and work hard to be in international sector. T20s are not the way to improve their skills. In fact, they lose what they currently possess. T20s are appreciated to some extent but not to the extent of scrapping ODIs.

Just to let you know, I'm tired of watching T20s. I love to watch IPL every year but this year being an WT20 championship year has spoilt all the fun of IPL. IPL is boring this year which can be clearly seen with empty stands in the stadiums especially in Bengaluru, Dharamsala, Rajkot, Delhi and Hyderabad.

We watch cricket for entertainment and self-satisfaction. Whats the outcome if we have loads of boring T20 games? . Test is again a boring format. We need ODIs without any cut-off in overs. Its not a county cricket. It is an international format. So considering all this facts, ODIs are needed.

Better i should rename this thread with title "40 overs ODI will it work?"

 

[Ravijeni]

This post is dedicated to the thread creator and the folks who are agreeing to the discussion made so far. Very long but important argument from my side although it is my personal opinion.

Test cricket is the core crust of Cricket. We all know that test cricket is the only format which the players used to play in the early days of Cricket. Then followed ODIs later followed by T20s. Current generation feels test cricket as a boring format which is very true. It is long, boring & time consuming. But is the only format which helps the players to display their skill. It is the real test for batsman to get things right and bat for as long as team requires them to do.

ODI on the other hand is a good format which is quite enjoyable. 50 overs per side - why on earth it is considered too long and time consuming? It is the only format where the bowlers and batsman are tested. Just imagine, a t20 player faces only 24 balls and bowls only 24 ball in his entire playing innings which doesn't determine his skill in either batting or bowling. A batsman faces atleast 6 ball from a bowler which is quite less when compared to ODIs or test. There is very less room for the bowlers to bowl according to his skills and variation within this 6 balls to a batsman. He gets exposed to the batsman in ODIs where he has to bowl atleast 25 ball to a batsman.

In both the circumstances, we get to see that bowler doesn't get a complete time to display his talent in T20s. If he gets smashed for a boundary then he gets tensed and missout his line and length which he wants to bowl.

For instance, a bowler named B is bowling in t20s and get smashed for 30 runs in his two over with the economy of 15/over. Then captain tends to change the bowler which indirectly effects the consistency. He gets tensed and bowls even worse than he bowled. ODI on the other hand allows him to express himself with 60 balls to be bowled.

My argument is that the skill or talent can't be expressed in T20 while it can be done in ODIs and Tests. If you guys are worried about the revenue from matches, it is because peoples' effection and passion towards their home team. They want to support the 11 men team representing their city/country and winning them the match or entertaining them in different aspects of game like batting, bowling or fielding. I bet, we Indians who watch IPL ball-by-ball don't even watch an bbl/spl/bpl innings(nearly half of the IPL viewers.) We can't bother much about viewership of different formats. People are tired of watching T20 games. There were t20 series played all over the world as a practice to WT20. That is why Asia Cup was played in T20 format and we all know this. IPL games are not full house btw. There are 2-3 stands which are empty in every stadium this year. The reason is that there has been no ODI games in India since October and people are tired of watch T20 games.

WE NEED ODI GAMES DESPERATELY. Just think for a second. If we scrap ODIs then people lose interest in T20s. We need a format to keep an interest in people and give equal amount of satisfaction.

Test cricket is boring but still a skillfull.show? What is the purpose of odi?

All the others who are engaged in this discussion, this guy (thread creator), once bumped a thread which was 4 years old. The same thing was discussed before and all concluded with ODIs to remain.

I'm out from this discussion where we just waste our time arguing with the guy who is no even agreeing to the what we have posted.

40 over ODI ??? It is 40 over OD.

 

[Ravijeni]

I appreciate the efforts you put here but you still are not able to give me satisfactory reply , yes Test cricket is the real platform for showing skills and completely love this format(good only for tv viewership though to some extent ) then why we need ODI?
Playing ODI bilateral series are meaningless and it will not help to this sport for any good , in spite of the fact cricket world cup can only be better played with this format if we reduce it upto 40 overs per side.

on the other side T20 is the format we can use for making this game real popular in new associate countries such as IRELAND,scotland,Netherland , these m******s can never be able to beat any major test playing nation such as India or Australia not even in ODI and then what would be the outcome? you all know that, cricket have better chance to become real global popular with T20 format only

but icc not taking enough satisfactory steps to make t20 Real.popular in new associate i think.so?

I have watched couple of matches before. It do cost 3000+ but people don't hesitate to pay to watch their favourite stars.

Cricket is not meant to be popular???? ROFL . i end up my discussion here with you

this sodium guy actually does not know the purpose of this entire discussion [DOUBLEPOST=1461668106][/DOUBLEPOST]

so what you trying to prove? ODI can better work overall for future of cricket? i have serious doubt bro

 

[Markkkkk]

Okay so you guys are arguing that T20 will pull new fans but if that happens then they will only be interested in T20 cricket because if they can't watch ODIs they sure as hell won't watch tests which would result in test cricket dying and T20 would be the only format to exist. T20 fans aren't fans that cricket wants or needs...

 

[Targaryen]

You all win. Write a petition to ICC chairman with all your arguments and get succeeded. Its waste of time arguing with you guys.

I have lot more things to do in this forums rather than discussing with bunch of newbies. Good luck for your attempt to scrap ODIs.
