ODI should be scrapped

[garryjo82]

ODI might be boring for you, but for hardcore cricket fans, it will bring more delight than T20

since childhood watching odis and m a big fan of ODI cricket, but in current scenario this format is facing a strong challenge by T20 and its a fact. TEST cricket will survive though till the end of this universe

This is where ODI comes in. It is a bridge that connects T20 and Tests.

ODI a bridge. seriously ?

Test format requires completely different unique skills(not a cup of tea for everyone) , thats why can be played by few nations just .[DOUBLEPOST=1461916525][/DOUBLEPOST]

Ask any cricketer. His main aim is to represent his country in the Tests. Not T20

of course but monetary gains better achieved by T20 leagues

Yup. Seriosuly. Look, In ODI, you need to apply technique, you need to have patience, skills. I am not telling these are not required in T20, but if you have brute power, that would be sufficient in T20. More than in T20, you can apply your skills better in the longer format.

Test format is not a cup of tea, I know that. But, if you ( I don't mean you. For ICC. But in general if ODI is scrapped out) don't give enough chances, how can players play well ? You directly can't play in tests after playing in T20. As I told before, T20 is mere 40 overs. Atleast in ODI, it's 100 overs and you will have enough time to bat and bowl. You can spend more time on the ground. Afterall, smaller nations can't play tests right away and T20 is just too less of a cricket. They need more exposure. More T20 games won't help them to improve. They need ODI to improve their performance. People just depend on power/hitting skills in T20. You can't deny this. In ODI, you will get more time to be yourself and anchor an innings..

Too much ? No. I would rather watch bilateral series of ODI rather than T20. Windies crowd are interested in T20 because they are good only in T20 right now. I would love to see all the windies players back in the squad for ODI. That would make things interesting.

I made my point in the last two posts. So, right now I have nothing else to add.

Windies crowd are interested in T20 because they are good only in T20 right now

more of the reason because t20 boosted interest again among youth , when there was an inclined interest towards basketball

by the way , subject of crowd interest go relevant to performance of players? dont think so

 

[garryjo82]

even though T20 is proved to be a crowd puller , it should be played less in quantity , i mean what becomes the logic of IPL right after world t20 , specially when both of them hosted in same country.

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

People are trying to earn money in cricket by ruining it with things like the IPL. A few mercenaries are grabbing loads of cash while the average cricketer has to live off scraps. If the means to make cricket popular is ruining the game then you are burning your own bridges. I would go as far as to say that Twenty20 is just an activity that uses cricket equipment....further more your foundations supporting your own arguments are flawed...

 

[IceAgeComing]

Look. The new teams are anyway being introduced to T20s. They are being drawn to T20 in the beginning itself. Once they improve, then only ODI format is being introduced to them.

This isn't what is happening, nor would it be a good thing if it was. As I've said in this thread several times, the majority of grassroots Cricket played in Associate nations in 50 over stuff. I'm not saying that T20 Cricket is not played, but for the nations at the lowest level their progress through the regional divisions below the World Cricket League is all still the same format as ODI Cricket.
