Test cricket is pinnacle and ODI is awesome. But it is T20 cricket that made newer working generations able to go to the stadium in the evening after work and watch the whole match. T20 cricket has made cricket universal, brought commerce and money and that sustainability is helping test and ODI cricket as well. It's all mutual relationships between all the formats of cricket now, one helping the other.
I agree. Its hard to watch a whole test. People got things to do, blocking out a whole 3-5 days to watch a game is a bit much. I watched the BGT quite closely, and still missed out on a ton, because no one can reasonably watch every ball. Even ODIs are hard, but easier since blocking out one day is easier than five, but still, weekends and holidays only. T20s, as you said, easy to watch after work, whether at the ground or on TV. Even if you dont consider yourself a cricket fan, franchise leagues are exciting. As you said, the universality is super important. I agree that all formats work together. Some may worry that T20s will overtake Tests in importance which is ridiculous. As long as people are saying that, it won't happen.
Yup but if it’s adulterated then what’s the point of being happy at cricket getting viral? For instance, imagine in a parallel universe football getting viral only because of penalty shoutouts. And they create a new format for penalty shoutouts and call it football as well (shorter format of it).

I know people are gonna hate me for this but I think T20 world cup should be scrapped. Make the CWC into 20 overs T20WC format with 20 teams which can be used to push cricket to other countries. And make Champions trophy into the 14 team CWC 50 over format. Then WTC with 10 teams. Each format will have its own 4 year cycle.
Interesting take. Cricket is always evolving and it will be interesting to see in which direction it goes in the next 20 years. I honestly believe that the ODI format might be in trouble with popularity. Any and all ways to include, produce and develop more cricket playing countries are always important.
@@abhijeet685nobody is gonna watch it. And at the end of the day , it's all about entertainment. Unlike the past there are multiple sources of entertainment now.

T20 saved cricket. All those wannabe purist in the comment section bashing T20 and sucking on test should understand not everyone has the time to watch 5 days sport
Imagine creating a new format of football with just the penalty shootouts, and now call it football, albeit the “shorter format”. Is it still football? Where are the other aspects? Time isn’t the only issue in T20s, it just isn’t complete cricket, not even close to being 30% complete. It’s like adjudging the winner of a tennis match on the basis of the player who hit the most number of the aces.

It's now been an international format for 20 years, but it still seems to be in a developmental stage despite it being well established, because the top teams are still very firmly on top and until the lesser lights start looking more competitive and start permeating the longer formats, it's still going to look somewhat diluted.

Im back to front. I was only 5 when this first came out and I grew up enjoying T20 and hating the boring long format 5 day test matches. Nowadays, I don't like T20s and love test matches haha
I honestly love and enjoy all formats. I don't even try to compare them, because they are so vastly different. Each format has something that makes them special, but I'm worried about the future of ODI's to be honest.
As someone who hasn't had as much time to watch test matches I find ODI/One day cricket to be the best format, as much to my grandfather's disdain I actually prefer limited over cricket than watching a 4 day test match. Test cricket still has its own charm and is admittedly still the proper format of cricket but ODIs and to an extent T20s has been important to how cricket has evolved and has been an easier viewing experience especially for kids and mums and dads to enjoy a day at the cricket with out having to be there from late morning into the evening. As my grandpa says: T20 isn't proper cricket, just a bit of hit and giggle in coloured pyjamas so the kids have a bit of fun.
That's true. T20 can never be compared to Tests, but it's still good fun and introduced cricket to the rest of the world in a way that Tests and ODI's never could.
Every Sport requires two components in this new age of technological advancements, and those are Entertainment and Commerce. We as the hardcore fans can watch entire 5 Day tests with fun, but its not make the sport enlarged to the extent it should get, and therefore T20 Cricket indeed reformed while staying to the core.
Agreed. T20's transformed cricket into a global phenomena, something that Test cricket would not have achieved. The great thing is that T20's slowly but surely also introduced millions of fans who also started showing interest in Tests.
T20 is the reason cricket is added in olympics It's very fast paced thrilling and just 3 hours Associate teams are beating top teams a lot more frequently nowadays making it as unpredictable as football No icc event has had much as much participatation as 2024 t20 world cup almost 30 teams Like it or hate it but T20 has grown and saved cricket more than test or ODI ever could
who gives a toss if cricket is part of the Olympics. It is the same with tennis and golf. All three of those sports have no place in the Olympics. Winning a test series against their respective country's biggest rival is what counts, not if they win an Olympic gold medal or not.
@tomnewham1269 olympics is the biggest sporting event and winning medal in it is the biggest honour in sports Stop yapping Without T20 no olympics inclusion and it would never grow in associate nations
As someone who adores cricket, and loved the purity of test cricket, I don't understand the hatred towards T20. It's essentially a different sport. Fast paced and fun. ODI's are the worst form of the game in my opinion. Tests for the strategy and purity, T20 for the short form slugfest for me.
T20 is very exciting. It is good to have quicker formats in sports. I regularly follow Competitive Cricket as well as Competitive Chess. Also, read a lot of books on both the above sports. If we compare these two popular sports Cricket and Chess; even Classical Chess (which we can compare to test Cricket) seems lengthy and time consuming. So now Rapid (usually less than 30 mins each player games) and Blitz Chess ; just 3 to 5 minites each side...etc formats are getting popular. I think, all the formats in sports should co exist. In today's times shorter formats are more broadcast friendly and more commercially viable which in turn could support and nurture the long and pure formats of the given sport.
The ODI might be relegated to history in 20 years, with T20 and Test matches being the only International matches. The different skill sets will also see two different teams, with only a few common in both teams at international level. For instance, a containing bowler might be the best in a national T20 team, but never picked in a Test team - look at Gavin Larsen from New Zealand who was one of the best ODI Bowlers in World Cricket in the 1990s but played only 8 test matches over his 10 year international career, or Michael Bevan of Australia who was a consummate ODI batting rescuer/finisher but never established himself in the test team.
Maybe they can do 4 innings similarly like tests. Do 25 overs a team with both teams batting twice so it can be refreshing for the players, and the fourth inning can have an odi vibe run chase, lol. This way, the players can reenergise and be more active in the field and the fans can take a little break. Ofc this will only work for the odi lovers tho or maybe not lol

T20 will Gain more popularity as the untapped market catches on... Test Cricket is still somewhat enjoyable when 2 good teams are playing like England India Australia.. For ODI cricket to remain relevant, they may have to reduce over from 50 to 40. As it is ODI cricket has gone through a lot of changes over the years.. From 60 to 50 Over From Red Ball to White Ball Changing Powerplay Rules Changing New Ball Rules.. At First, 1 Ball per Innings was the rule, later it became 2 Balls from Two Ends .. Then it Became 1st new ball for 35 over 2nd new ball for 36 to 50 Overs Now again its 2 New balls from 2 Ends 🤷🤦
@@shahkarim3394 Perfectly said. We often tend to forget that sport is part and parcel of the entertainment industry. The fans will eventually decide what they like or don't like.
@@CricketMachineZA nope. Audience expansion is not the be all end all when it comes to sport. When it just becomes a product solely to make money and as a way to make money from gambling, it no longer is a sport but just a business to screw as much money out of people as possible.
Right, so India win first tournament and the BCCI and their bunny the ICC had to make it the dominant form of the sport. Tragic, it’s still a meme format in my eyes.
Its not my cup of tea but i do like how it has unearthed many new talents for test cricket But i still won't watch it because i just find it hard to follow the franchises and i do enjoy teams building an inning Nonetheless it brings people to cricket and whilst it has a big following, its also a gateway into longer forms Aaron finch for example has played for almost everyone on the ipl I'm from melbourne yet victorian players are scattered all over and the two melbourne teams aren't really made of victorians Whilst that doesn't bother me in sports such as football, I've been accustomed to a regional following in cricket not that people follow shield cricket though
It definitely opened up many other parts of the world to cricket. And many of those new fans also start to show interest in Test Cricket, so T20's serve as a great introduction to cricket.
Cricket needs to grow and spread around the globe or else it will die New generation needs fast paced short games which provide thrill and upsets T20s does exactly that
T10 is already here. And it's only getting more popular. All the arguments people use to defend T20 also apply to t10, in fact more strongly. I wonder if fans will realize how ridiculous it is when t10 becomes the most popular, or if they will continue to accept it as real cricket.
T20 is definitely about money, but I don't think it's fair to say that it has killed cricket. I think quite the opposite really. Many people get introduced with T20 and slowly show interest in Test Cricket too.
Test cricket would have killed the game, whether anyone likes it or not. It was only restricted to the Commonwealth. It's the same like baseball, which is not a global game. 5 days for a sport makes no sense at all, it is still kept alive as a namesake, think about it deeply.
Not sure I agree with this. Test cricket is alive and well, it's ODI's that are struggling big time. Many other popular sports also last a few days, like golf, cycling, racing, ultra marathons etc.
@@CricketMachineZA None of the sports you mentioned are team sports nor are they popular to the common people. After football, rugby, it is cricket that's the most popular and is ingrained in the masses. Whether ODIs are struggling or not is a different topic altogether.
@sublimeranger I can't agree with that. If you look at the top 10 biggest sports in the world, football is first, cricket is second. Rugby is not in the top 10 sports in the world. That's not me saying that, Google and see for yourself.
@@CricketMachineZA Of course we can have differing viewpoints and disagree, the points that I am mentioning u can only understand with experience rather than stats.
@@sublimeranger But whether or not cricket is the 2nd biggest sport in the world is not an opinion or a point of view. It's a fact. There are more than 108 countries in the world that are officially recognised by the International Cricket Council and cricket will be inlcuded in the 2028 Olympics. What about that is not a global game?
People bashing t20s are either trying to blend in or are nostalgia merchants Irony is that they probably have played less overs than 20 a side in their life
Like it or not, T20's opened the rest of the world to cricket in a way that Tests and ODI's never could. And that is a fact. But Tests will always be my favourite.

Agreed. Look at the rise of Afghanistan. And USA will be a tough opponent in 10 years from now.
@@TheNightTyrant and those teams beat top teams like Pakistan and Sri Lanka
Netherlands beating and knocking out south africa
Scotland beating england
T20 makes all teams very competitive and prone to upsets
ICC need to uplift ODI cricket... Big three nations are prioritising tests and t20s
@@mukulsahu1104 Agreed. I think ODI's are in trouble...
T20 will Gain more popularity as the untapped market catches on...
Test Cricket is still somewhat enjoyable when 2 good teams are playing like England India Australia..
For ODI cricket to remain relevant, they may have to reduce over from 50 to 40.
As it is ODI cricket has gone through a lot of changes over the years..
From 60 to 50 Over
From Red Ball to White Ball
Changing Powerplay Rules
Changing New Ball Rules..
At First, 1 Ball per Innings was the rule,
later it became 2 Balls from Two Ends ..
Then it Became 1st new ball for 35 over 2nd new ball for 36 to 50 Overs
Now again its 2 New balls from 2 Ends 🤷🤦
Very good comment. Be sure to check out my other video about Kerry Packer to see how cricket changed in the 70's.
At the end of the day, sport is entertainment. Cricketers are entertainers. The format that entertains people the most will survive.
@@shahkarim3394 Perfectly said. We often tend to forget that sport is part and parcel of the entertainment industry. The fans will eventually decide what they like or don't like.
T20 is great, but T10 you can fit in the duration of a normal football match.
I'm looking forward to T10 continuing to grow.
Any format that works to take cricket further to a global audience is a good thing.
@@CricketMachineZA nope. Audience expansion is not the be all end all when it comes to sport. When it just becomes a product solely to make money and as a way to make money from gambling, it no longer is a sport but just a business to screw as much money out of people as possible.
Same way odi was treated when it started
Exactly right. Check out my other video about the birth of ODI's. 👍
Right, so India win first tournament and the BCCI and their bunny the ICC had to make it the dominant form of the sport. Tragic, it’s still a meme format in my eyes.
Test>T20>ODI in that order
I agree with that. Stats don't lie.
Odi wc>>> 💩 t20 wc
Its not my cup of tea but i do like how it has unearthed many new talents for test cricket
But i still won't watch it because i just find it hard to follow the franchises and i do enjoy teams building an inning
Nonetheless it brings people to cricket and whilst it has a big following, its also a gateway into longer forms
Aaron finch for example has played for almost everyone on the ipl
I'm from melbourne yet victorian players are scattered all over and the two melbourne teams aren't really made of victorians
Whilst that doesn't bother me in sports such as football, I've been accustomed to a regional following in cricket not that people follow shield cricket though
It definitely opened up many other parts of the world to cricket. And many of those new fans also start to show interest in Test Cricket, so T20's serve as a great introduction to cricket.
T20 is where cricket prostituted itself. Now there's just too much! Goodbye test cricket!
There are too many Test cricket fans around the world for it to die out. I think ODI's might be in trouble though...
you saw the crowd at BGT and Ashes ?
T20 still to this day for me is not cricket. Crash bang wallop!. Really, is this what you really call cricket?????.
exactly test cricket is the real cricket
Cricket needs to grow and spread around the globe or else it will die
New generation needs fast paced short games which provide thrill and upsets
T20s does exactly that
@@leviackreman2310 Then those minority do not know what cricket is then!.
It's still a joke, a well-paying joke...
I prefer ODIs and tests...
exactly cause test is the real cricket AKA gentlemens game
I honestly think ODI's might be in trouble in the future. Tests and T20's are going strong.
Cricket T 20 format basically a entertainment.
Oh boy i still love test cricket its real deal
its because of t20 that players play ramp shots in test matches
It clearly worked for someone like konstas also every sport changes
@@shreyansh4u594 it only worked in one innings lmao
This is because of IPL ❤
IPL changed world cricket.
@CricketMachineZA yes
T20 cricket saved cricket , and i feel like bilateral series should be go off , franchise/club tournament should go on in t20 format..
I wouldn't say it saved cricket, but it definitely did more for cricket globally than Tests or ODI's.
Still dont watch t20 on a regular basis...
Gentleman's Game Ruined by T20
The Quantity is so much
Quality has gone down
100% correct.
It's still circus and business 😂😂😂😂😂hai
Pseudo Cricket fans Cry ABOUT T20i cricket Because their fav Team stands Nowhere there😂
Still Test cricket is the best❤
The pinnacle of cricket skill, patience and endurance.
It's test or T20....ODI is dead
I regret to say I actually agree with you.
It’s just not cricket.
True that 👍
Coming soon: T10 cricket
Nah its alwys gonna be t20
there already is T10 its just not international
@@king...675 it'll neber be
T10 is already here. And it's only getting more popular. All the arguments people use to defend T20 also apply to t10, in fact more strongly. I wonder if fans will realize how ridiculous it is when t10 becomes the most popular, or if they will continue to accept it as real cricket.
@@Aryan-mh9vdTo be honest T20 is the minimum possible balance between bat and ball competition, T10 is just too much one sided
T20 is the way to go. If you're watching 9+ hours of 5 day test and ODI and are not getting paid, you need to get a life...
But cricket is my life. 😄
T20 is money
and GREED HAS KILLED CRICKET
T20 is easier to watch & viewership obviously matters
T20 is definitely about money, but I don't think it's fair to say that it has killed cricket. I think quite the opposite really. Many people get introduced with T20 and slowly show interest in Test Cricket too.
Test cricket would have killed the game, whether anyone likes it or not. It was only restricted to the Commonwealth. It's the same like baseball, which is not a global game. 5 days for a sport makes no sense at all, it is still kept alive as a namesake, think about it deeply.
Not sure I agree with this. Test cricket is alive and well, it's ODI's that are struggling big time. Many other popular sports also last a few days, like golf, cycling, racing, ultra marathons etc.
@@CricketMachineZA None of the sports you mentioned are team sports nor are they popular to the common people. After football, rugby, it is cricket that's the most popular and is ingrained in the masses. Whether ODIs are struggling or not is a different topic altogether.
@sublimeranger I can't agree with that. If you look at the top 10 biggest sports in the world, football is first, cricket is second. Rugby is not in the top 10 sports in the world. That's not me saying that, Google and see for yourself.
@@CricketMachineZA Of course we can have differing viewpoints and disagree, the points that I am mentioning u can only understand with experience rather than stats.
@@sublimeranger But whether or not cricket is the 2nd biggest sport in the world is not an opinion or a point of view. It's a fact. There are more than 108 countries in the world that are officially recognised by the International Cricket Council and cricket will be inlcuded in the 2028 Olympics. What about that is not a global game?
I like odi cricket
Me too! I love all kinds of cricket. 👍
T20 seems to be a joke to destroy real cricket
I think ODI's might be in trouble, but Test Cricket is - and will always be - the real deal.
How???
T20 is still a joke.
People bashing t20s are either trying to blend in or are nostalgia merchants
Irony is that they probably have played less overs than 20 a side in their life
Like it or not, T20's opened the rest of the world to cricket in a way that Tests and ODI's never could. And that is a fact. But Tests will always be my favourite.
It is still not proper cricket.... remember that
It will never be Test cricket, but it definitely opened up cicket to the rest of the world.
I’d argue it still is a joke
Test and T20 cricket is the only way to go.
ODI's are in trouble.
@@CricketMachineZA i don't see ODI cricket surviving in Moder day cricket
I still say it is a joke.
A joke that took over the cricket world, but at least it's fun and shouldn't be compared to Tests. 😄
India winning 07 wc ws the crucial point
In fairness, it's still a joke
A fun joke, nonetheless. 😄
ODIs >>>>>> T20is
Holding was a jealous man
He was a cricket purist. Can't hold that against him. 😄
Holding is 100% correct.
