Hello, I just want to pitch in my 2 cents and want to see what others think as well. I have been a cricket follower since quite a few time now. I think what got me interested in cricket was the Sharjah series. Cricket has evolved a lot during these years and T20 has become hit amongst the fans. Then we also have fans who love Test Cricket. Some people say T20 should be made the prime format, some say test. In between people forget that there is One Day cricket as well.
With more and more T20 cricket leagues(IPL,BBL,CPL,PSL,NT20,Ram Slam to name few) players techniques and temperament has been questioned. This is where 50 over cricket fails where fans want boom boom whereas the players have to really fight it out and build innings before smashing out of the park.
Just queried a thing on Cricinfo
As you can see these figures are from 2010 upwards, majority T20 leagues have started during this era. If you look at the Highest Score each and every team has scored more then 300 runs and the lowest is really low which proves my point that there is really no team who is really trying to battle it out in the middle when things do not look good.
What is the future? I literally see there is no point in playing Bi-lateral tournaments. If cricket has to have 3 formats the bi-lateral tournaments have to go for ODI's & T20's. I would love to see regionally tournaments. For example -
Annual European league with England, Ireland, Scotland etc taking part.
Annual Asia Cup with all Asian teams even Associates.
Annual American Cup.
Winners automatically qualify for World Cup whereas others are put in a group for a qualifier although those who did not qualify be India or Australia or any big team.
I know the next question is how will Australia and England play or how does India play with England. For that they should arrange quadrangular tournaments. This way broadcasters get what they want, ODI's have some meaning. Meanwhile Champions Trophy, World Cup remain intact.
Test Cricket survives too as the teams only tour each other for test series.
Any opinion guys? I am sorry if I havent written well but just had these thoughts and wanted to put it out.
