Favourite form of cricket

Cricket is a career.

How many test matches have you played at your level?

Don't know where you got that negative bone in your body about anything apart from test cricket if the above you said is true.

Don't see any harm in watching any game if you are supporter of cricket.

Mate, I'm 14. I'd love to be playing Test matches in the future, but right now, it's very unlikely.

Ah recess.... 15 minute beaks of goodness.

I miss my childhood...

How come you still get recess as a 14 year old?!

Because in Australia, this is now high school. In high school, you get 20 minutes break after the first class, then 40 after the third, then you go home after 2 more. For us, at our school, it works like this.

START OF DAY 9am
Homeroom 15 mins
75 minute lesson
20 minute reccess
50 minute lesson
75 minute lesson
40 minute lunch
50 minute lesson
50 minute lesson
END OF DAY 3:10pm

Roughly something like that.

My bus gets me to school 30 minutes early, and picks me up 25 minutes late, we play cricket in the morning, reccess, lunch, and afternoon.

50 Over ODI's = King

 

[Mr. Kurns]

I get recess and lunch, that's the common thing in Australian schools.

On topic, much rather Tests, there is nothing better.

Forgot about homeroom.

I love watching all forms of cricket. I even like the domestic 3 and 4 day matches. But ODI's are favorite!

Forgot about homeroom.

I made a mistake, I start the day at 8:45 AM.

I love the 20/20 game. As my name shows:banana2

Your aka should be six'shitter' because that's what t20s are :P Nah, just joking mate!

But seriously, there is no real contest in a T20, and since when do you see two teams talking up a T20 like it's the Ashes, or arguing about bad umpiring decisions, etc.

It can't compare to other forms of cricket imo. I like Tests and ODIs equally, and I'm also a big follower of domestic cricket but I don't mind the odd T20.

I think it's a good opportunity to blood some youth on the international stage, for them to have some fun and compete with the worlds best, but under no pressure!

And also, it's great for making the game more popular.

Any team can win a t20 tournament, anyone. Have to agree on this one.


Wait even Bangladesh won a test series?

 

[Bluebagger]

Test and first class for me. I hate the Twenty20, it is the absolute worst form of cricket and caters to people who can't grasp the delicacy of REAL cricket.

 

[Isura]

Test cricket of course. ODIs are ok if Australia/India/SA are playing each other.

 

[King Cricket]

I love all the three forms equally, as I believe each form is unique in it's own way.

Geeze, short day. We start more than an hour and a half earlier and get out only 20 minutes before you guys. No recess either, just a 30 minute lunch and 10 minutes inbetween classes (Because our school is so huge and it takes so long to get from one place to another). We have four 85 minute blocks.

Anyways, quality test match cricket trumps all forms of the game convincingly. But those are so rare these days...

 

[Insomniac]

I hope recess is just another word for talking to friends in the hallway.

I really hope you guys don't actually have a playground or something of the sort :laugh
