ODI cricket is so disgusting after the invasion of T20.Isn't it?

[Sartaj]

Test cricket will still be the #1 in countries like England.

But,can you spare 7 hours to watch an ODI match?

Practically speaking,only KG kids can.

Is it really worth watching the entire match or will people just watch the first and the last 10 overs of each innings in the near future?

This current ODI series between SL and PAK is so sickening that i didn't even check the results on cricinfo,me being a huge fan of cricket for many years

Are you joking? I have actually thought the Sl vs Pak series to be quite good.

Just because its not full of DLF MAXIMUMS and the ball dispatching to all parts every ball!

ODI cricket sucks after the invention of the batting powerplay, wickets just keep tumbling and batsmen never seem to be prepared for it.

Didn't you just started thread where Steyn took 8 wickets. What was the game? Deccan vs mumbai in ISL.

i think you gone screw? T20 can be a good funtime entertainment but instead it lacks many other aspect of a good game.personally i think 40 overs ODI would be best replacement for present odi.

I enjoy all format but ODI has its own great history like wrld cup.

Okay, and this needed a thread why?

Yeah but I dont have to hear everytime Steyn takes a wicket that he has just taken a Pepsi Super Wicket or just broken a DLF Record. Don't get me wrong, personally I have nothing against the IPL I actually enjoy watching it. But some of the commentary lines are horrible! Especially these 'tactical breaks' were conveniently there are 7.5 minutes of ads. How convenient is that!

But on that matter, it does have to be said it isn't just the IPL that has all these add breaks. I watch cricket in Singapore and we get a lot of the Indian Channels and I do feel sorry for you guys as there are adds after EVERY over and even then you usually miss the first ball of the next over.

 

[SciD]

Stupid TV channels. The tactical break will not be there next time.

50 overs do get boring in middle but I still love them. I love this game. :banana2

 

[khalek]

7.5 minutes = 7 minutes and 30 seconds, how do you know that you're gonna resume play exactly after 7.5 minutes?

 

[nakul]

Yes,for a moment it does feel that 50 over cricket is disgusting especially after the fireworks that we get to see in t20.

If you feel so, go and enjoy your T20s. There are a lot more people in this world who still prefer Test and ODI cricket to the mindless slogging and the world of DLF Maximums or Citi Moment of Disasters.

 

[aussie1st]

The India v Australia ODI series suggest otherwise. One of the best series you will see that included one of the best ODI match and one of the best ODI knock.

 

[pcfan123]

This thread is disgusting

 

[Biggy]

This thread is disgusting

Yeah. I like a game with no sixes, and lots of defensive strokes, who's with me!?

 

[Robelinda]

I love me a solid forward defense! Ohhh baby!
