T20 Cricket Teases The Test Format !

◆ T20 less labour abundant Money Game ◆

T20 is the game of only 240 balls. If we talk about the time then almost 4 hours and maximum 4 and a half hour. I meant to be remained in playing action for Four and a Half hour . And in this format the bowlers are to be preyed and the religion of the batsmen is just swing the bat to contact the ball. Defense and dot is the demon’s nature in this format . If the batsman defends the ball for a dot he is considered as the villain . And if the batsman can’t collect on two or three delivery then he is humiliated by the fans and chided him by hooting and such as the bowler bowls one dot wow is a hero in the fans’ eyes. Yes to deliver a dot ball the bowler must need a great energy, technique and intelligent and also the luck. Why the luck because the batsmen bowls with his full strength and the batsman would try to hit or defend then there might be an edge in the gap or the fielder could midfield so dot isn’t come. And the bowler’s luck is good the stroke would go directly in the hands of the fielder and then no run is possible. In T20 for batting there is no need such technique and you just saw the ball swing the bat for contact and if it happens then the shot would go for the runs. The T20 format is the game of non pressure for both the bowler and the batsman why because the bowler has to bowl only 24 deliveries or Four overs and for each batsman parted only Eleven balls to play. Lossing wicket isn’t matter. If you face 5 balls and hit 2 fours it’s enough for the team. Yeah the strike rate of scoring run is only the matter . How does it come no matter. Yes through cricketing or non cricketing I mean by conventional or nonconventional whether you play any kind of shot no matter and only the scoring is the utmost count in this format . In the T20 the fielding department is more pressurised because giving a single run is an offence in the team, bowler and the captain . And making fielding is so risky because to stop boundary or single , double the fielder tries to dive and the fielder could be injured and it can shortened the career of the cricketer. In the game the coaches or academies or naturally the batsmen and the bowlers are prepared and making fielding is all essential for all the playing eleven so the cricketers learn fielding all automatically or naturally. Yeah in the modern cricket era there are the academy system is in more in the trend and there is cricket a fobia or passion as well as a religion and the present generation is to much incline to this game . Sachin Tendulkar , MS Dhoni ,Kapil Dev,Virat Kohli were from the middle class families but the game cricket has made them the millionaire so the present generation’s dream is to be the cricketer and so the cricket schools are in the busiest schedule and so much in the demand and the kids, young ones throng to there for being the cricketer.
Before 1970 there was only one cricketing format and the fans preferred it and used to watched all the five days and all the stadiums would be
remained housefull . But to be popularise it at the global level and in the Olympic the global body of game cricket implemented the ODI. Though the idea came due to hostile circumstances that the rain wasted all four days and the fifth day was dry so unauthentically the match was played as the ODI only for the entertainment of the fans . And since then the idea was liked and preferred by the fans and particularly by the shallow or light mooded fans who wanted to enjoy it as light heatedly as the picnic. And those fans who wanted to watch the game but the time is so vital for them so couldn’t watch five days long so the supreme body of cricket staked out permanently and then suddenly it gone shorten when revolutionary T20 format was introduced by it and in the year 2007 the first T20 World Cup was organized by the ICC. And this shortest format was gone hit so Kapil Dev introduced The ICL but the BCCI the supreme body of nation India didn’t give its nod and then one of an administrator of the Indian Cricket Board Lalit Modi endorsed out the idea and introduced IPL and the tournament gone so much hit because the big Byrons,corporates and the riches like Shah rookh Khan ,Raj Kundra jumped in it and they paid handsome money in auction thus this Franchisee Cricket got abundant popularity and the live telecast by SonyMax TV chsneel established it as the high ranked franchise cricket tournament in the world and most of the cricketers of the World attracted and lured to play in it only for the big money bonanza . And the situation is that the real cricketing format the Test or heavyweight form of cricket in my sense is in danger . Nonconventional technique is in the game and it is rooted gradually . Recently the world cricket fraternity has seen that the Fifth Test match was cancelled by the ECB on the indication plus nod of the BCCI due have the pretext of Covid-19 while no cricketer was positive and only two supporting staffers were positive but there was the fear that the cricketers would play 5 days and if some players would come suffer and found positive then what would be happens of IPL. The franchises might be annoyed and the IPL will be in danger and the huge revenue of the BCCI would affect . The essence of my note is that very less time ,less strain and huge money in IPL. So most of the cricketers are preferring the T20 and it is harming the Test Arena . You can’t decide who is the real cricketer only in 240 balls . And accordingly to me 5 days’s Test isn’t enough to decide the class and the ultimate winner and so in more numbers the Test Matches do end in the Draw or desperate Draw so there would be timeless Test system must be enforced by the ICC and wouldn’t prefer money and fans . Yes for income you have ODI ,T20 and Franchise Cricket .
