I think that T-20 is just another form of cricket and the skills and abilities required to master this

form differ somewhat from ODIs and Tests. I do not believe that T-20 is "killing" the other forms of cricket. It is another alternative for people to enjoy and this can only be good for cricket as a whole. The introduction of IPL and the concomitant formation of leagues in other countries has shown that cricket can evolve and acquire some of the characteristics of other sports such as football. This is again a boost for cricket. I do not believe that such innovations in cricket would take something away from what is considered "classic" cricket. After all, Tests and ODIs continue to be watched and enjoyed, and the differences among the various forms of cricket only serve to distinguish each one and help spectators and players alike to appreciate each form of cricket better.

There are two forms of twenty twenty which is currently being played one is international and the other is domestic which in India we can say ipl. It is a short version of the 50-50 over

game and it takes less time and gives full enjoyment to viewers and boosts the confidence of players. If a player scores half century in 20 balls or if a bowler is taking 5 wickets in a limited 4 overs which he can throw it certainly boosts players confidence level. Earlier in 50-50 overs matches 250-270 was considered as the good score and average score but now 270-285 is the average score and even double hundreds are also being hit in the 5050 over match this is all because of 20-20 cricket. When we talk of the domestic or ipl 2020 cricket it gives us wide spectrum to choose from the pool of players, players get exposure and learn many thing from international players who are in their team and against whom they are competing. So, in my point of view this beautiful 20-20 cricket must go on and it is not killing the real cricket instead it has made it more interesting. Thank you.

Cricket is the sport which required highest amount of time among all the sports. For watching a test match required 5 days and one day match whole day where as for t20 required 3 hours. As the time passes we need to change. The format is popular among cricket lover because result in short span of time, interest because of rain of 4 and 6. Cricket has become event in India. T20 format also requires skills, strategies, planning. Bowler has to bowl very consciously because batsman is ready to hit the ball for single bad delivery. Batsman needs to conscious because of tight fielding and strong bowling. It maps pressure handling capability of sportsman. Each and every format has its own importance.

It requires more skills and strategy, more sense of the game and it tests the player to his best and show how much he can handle pressure. On the other hand people need to realize that that all these formats, whether its T20, 50 50 or test, are existing at the same time and the same team and same players play in these formats and they are versatile enough to adapt the these formats. And also ages before 50 50 replaced Tests and eventually people adapted that format and

liked and now T20 is not only a major source of entertainment but also quick and short as people are really busy in their lives.

Present scenario is like that we are very busy. So we are having no time to spend 5-6 hours daily to see the test match. Same thing in ODI also. 5-6 hours in a day we have to spend. Presently it is ot possible for the cricket lovers also. T20 is a full of entertainment. We can enjoy the game in a very short time compare to ODI and test. Also the new comers, domestic and young cricketers get chance to play. Similarly I can say that test cricket is the classical cricket.

For example : if player good in t20 t20 will not be good in test cricket. Except a few like (KP, Gayle, sehwag, koli, Shane Watson, kallis, Jayawardene, Ross Taylor). So I think test cricket is real cricket which tests physical as well as mental aspect. But t20 t20 can be used as development of cricket which can be played in non playing nations like (USA, Ireland, China, Russia, Argentina, Arab Country, Canada, Brazil) in these countries you can hold a world cup instead of hosting in cricket playing nation. i.e. good for expanding cricket and new country can also come for playing cricket.

But as the times elapses, peoples got busy in their lives. Nw no one has so much time to see a 5 day match. So I think as the time changes skills are also changing for a good cricketer.

Nw everyone wants a player who can score quickly. So I think T 20 has its own importance and we need those fast playing skills in that game. I think now players has more options to play if someone is not able to play quickly then he can also got the chance in one day cricket or in test match. So we have 3 options now.

Every game have scope to make improvement so T20 is the best platform. Yes it is true that one day and test matches require more stamina than T20 but we can't say that it is killing real cricket, in T20 even we get to see best shots with Technic.

Before we start our discussion i think it would be fine if we knew each other better and request everyone to introduce themselves one by one.....

Now that we know quite well about each of us i would like to commence the discussion by providing my views on it.... The topic given to us is whether t20 cricket is killing real cricketing skills.I am strongly of the opinion that cricket is losing its austerity and charm owing to the recent trends in development of t20 cricket. The reason being that the shorter format of the game is much more interesting with a shorter duration has increased the craze towards it.People are more interested in watching it rather than the traditional and conventional formats of the game due to the gala involved in it. But the actual obscured fact is that t20 does not recognize the true skills that a cricketer is ought to possess.It provides a much shorter duration where the key word is to go for the big shots and score quickly rather than hone their skills instead. Even the players with sound technique in their skills are forced to adapt to a rather bashful and unconventional methodology which kills and denounces the purity and skill present more in abundance in test or even the one day formats. So, the craze on t20 is just short lived as it can never possess the ability to test or increase the skills of any cricketer and its only the true test form Rate this: +6 -11 Ilp said: (Wed, Aug 15, 2012 12:15:28 AM) Firstly good morning to all of you my dear friends.

Test cricket test the each quality of a cricketer that how can he adapt himself according to the need of the game.

Then we started one day cricket with 60 overs for one team. This format is also changed to 50 overs for a team for cricket watching fans to get out from the boring mood.

Many players are not improving their skills in domestic cricket by playing T20 format games. They are earning money by playing IPL and some T20 games. They should play T20 games at the same time they have to play domestic cricket. They have to confirm their berth in national team as test/ODI player since test cricket is oldest game.

Gaining proficiency in this kind of games really helps to score any target on scoreboard in ODI's too. For instance the 326 runs massive target of 50 overs by Srilanka against India in Asia cup, was comprehensively achieved well below 40 overs with the help of virat kiohli and gautam gambhir who have truly evolved as key players in all the formats.

So, ICC thought of this lower format of cricket i.e.20-20. But as time is passing, there comes commercialization of game. All player are playing for dollars, as it is clear from DLF IPL.

with the players its with the stupid BCCI, Srinivasan and co's. You get disappointment when you play 3 months of IPL appr. And 4 months of ODI's, leaving rest to test matches, youngsters don't even know the skills required, temperament and concentration required. Mostly, we have ask ourselves honestly how many good test batsmen and bowlers we produced in the last 10 years or so. Raina, yuvraj, etc looks good in ODI's and not even in the frame of mind of playing test cricket. In India, we provide spinning wickets and batsmen paradise wickets to develop batsmen and bowlers. The problem is, they only use these batting paitches to succeed and scoring tons of runs (Rohit, Badri and Rahane). We will never produce test players if we create sporting pitches and strengthen the level of competence in domestic structure. More so, look at Australian domestic structure, they play hard cricket in a four day game, everything is tested and the player is ready straight a way for the international cricket. Have a look at Indian structure, their fitness in England, their running between the wickets, intensity in the field, rift between players, Dhoni pathetic field setting in test matches to save fours rather to take wickets, keeping Raina, now Rohit, Vinay leaving Tiwary, are. Sharma outside. Sachin's absence during Rahul's felicitation, to play IPL starting tomorrow (Sorry, if I am wrong, He can shifted it to next week and play one week later. ). As, by looking into the team learning curve, no body is interested in playing county matches, look Raina he never interested in eliminating short stuffs, Rohit's lack of temperament, loosing his wicket after getting set, Gambhir's and sehwag's pathetic words about Dhoni leads to one question is there leadership exist? work ethic exist? team culture exist? playing for winning or fame? domestic structure exist or not? playing for Indian team or IPL cheer leaders? playing for names or records?

Nishanth Mambally said: (Tue, Mar 20, 2012 04:04:15 PM) I strongly support that t20 kills real cricketting skills because this format of game is played with in a given interval of time I. E, 3. 75 min/over, bowlers are compelled to bowl with in this time, so they can't play calmly by understanding the batsman. And boundaries are shortened by which if a batsman hits a six just to the boundary, its a six, otherwise it'd have been out. There are fielding restrictions in t20 so that batsman can hit more runs but these rules totally discourages the bowlers. And batsman is given an advantage of free hit for every fault (no ball) of bowler likewise there is no advantage for bowlers. So bowlers lose interest in match and the match will lack the real skills. The match is played in a hurry which increases the exitement, but this leads to the agressive behaviour of players which is not a part of the game. So t20 leads the people in losing interest in test matches which is the actual real format of the game. Rate this: +10 -5 Pradeep Kumar said: (Mon, Mar 19, 2012 06:06:05 AM) T20 is not killing real cricketing skills, because this is also a type of skill in cricket. T20 may kill other type of cricketing skills only if players focus more on T20 than others. International team players should focus on international matches (T20/Test/1-day) not the IPL. IPL is good for new comers to start. But Senior players in international cricket should have some kind of restriction to play in IPL (Like only 5 matches in a season).

But in India the T20 is not in a proper way, during 2007 T20 cup India got the world cup, but before that world cup matches Indian team did not played even a single T20 match but they won the world cup due to the excellent team and their

performance. But now whats the position of India in T20 ? even now only Indian guys are playing more T20 matches than other teams but we are in loosing side only. This is mainly because of IPL and other local matches. In IPL nearly 70 to 78 matches, due to this tight schedule all the players lose their stability and stamina which cause the Indian team players to lack of form and many cause injury. As a result only a form less Indian team only playing in T20 international matches. Which leads to lose. And also the IPl produce a gap between the Indian players and also with the people. So the T20 is also an good form of cricket only if the players and the bcci concentrate more on the international matches than IPl.

So am feeling that t20 cricket is not killing the real cricket. But it is creating the platform for the youngsters to play their natural game as he will show their talent to the whole world. But they will pay attention towards the base of

cricket means TEST cricket. Because it is the best format of the game. Then looking towards the 50-50 cricket, it is a famous format of cricket. When a player is best in test then he is definitely best in this format of cricket. And t20 gives enthusism to new youngsters. In last cricket is a cricket and every format of it is very special. Rate this: +19 -5 Saurab said: (Sat, Jan 28, 2012 10:58:13 AM) Really T-20 cricket has affected the performance of cricket. All of us know the basic reason that in T-20, a batsman just have to hit each ball, no class matters here. But what is the reason that only Indian cricketers are affected much more than other nation players. Reason is obvious-IPL. IPL is providing them lots of money that it's clear that they will focus themselves towards the T-20 tactics. Also suppose you have done something very good in your work and you have been awarded for your work definitely you will want to share it with your family, your friends, But if you won't be given time for that, How will you feel, definitely frustrating. That is also happening with Indian cricket players, they are not getting time for them. They have won the world cup, every Indian enjoyed the win, but players who really responsible for that, were not given time to celebrate it. Only few days later they were set to play IPL. So it is clear that T-20 is responsible for the downfall of the classic cricket, but if BCCI do things in systematic way, such that give time to players so that they can also enjoy themselves, analyse themselves i.e. where are really they are lacking? Then definitely they can save other format of cricket. Rate this: +20 -5 Yash said: (Wed, Jan 25, 2012 12:37:17 AM) T20 cricket is definitely killing the quality of the game and yes der is an extra pressure on the batsman to hit every ball for a boundary And most importantly the players with good technique like Rahul Dravid are forced to play unorthodox shots because you need to score off every ball Soo lets suppose T20 cricket does wonders for 5years from now and people start feeling that dis format is also a lengthy one And some other country comes out with a new idea of playing a T10 cricket ie each side plays only 10 overs. Are you still ok with it??? Rate this: +9 -6 Shamim Akter said: (Mon, Jan 16, 2012 12:42:37 PM) Yes, I think it certainly. The advent of T20 has increased the revenue of concerned boards along with the blood pressure of players and spectators. There is nothing to gain from the technique point of view from T20 matches, it is only to hit the ball, no chance for any qualitative batting or bowling because time is restricted to just 20 overs.

When it was started to invade the 50 overs and test matches more than half of the cricketing fraternities have felt the advent of T20 is a bane to test cricket, that time everybody laughed at that statement and felt such statements came from those who have already retired or in the verge of retirement. T20 kills not only one day and test matches it also kills the physical and mental stamina of the players as their skills were put to pressure to hit every ball they faced, though possible sometimes but impossible most of the times. One can observe from recent past that no player is consistent in performing in T20 matches, that itself is an proof as how T20 kills the quality we have seen in one day internationals and test matches, further it has effected the revenue of the concerned boards as the spectators were handful for one day and test matches but it is jam packed for T20 matches. Rate this: +6 -2 Maks said: (Sun, Jan 8, 2012 03:39:42 PM) I think T20 cricket is just another popular format of cricket which requires different skill sets for players to play and it provide an opportunity to already existing players to test themselves in another format and develop some skills for this format and if we look at the changing environment then people dont have time to watch long matches which was leading cricket to die but thins new format gave a new life to cricket and some of the youngsters who believes on quick results also gained interest in cricket.

Hello friends, According to my opinion, T20 cricket is realy bad for cricketers. I think there is no chance to enhance one's player's skill due to lack of overs and time. Youngesters don't pay the attention towards how to handle the situations of the match during continuous fall of wickts, they emphasize on scoring runs only, & there is only a way to set their permanent position in the cricket team, they go on to score more and more don't pay the attention towards their techinque nd skills. So that's why T20 cricket is worse than one day & test match. Rate this: +15 -4 Ishan Tiwari said: (Tue, Sep 27, 2011 12:24:08 AM) I would say T20 was the reason for the worst performance ever of India against England recently. Now key players are more concerned for T20 matches rather than their national team. Due to frequent games of T20 and IPL series it is giving toll to injuries to key players of India which leads to poor performance of team India. This format is also taking away all the grace and class of cricket which is seen in test cricket. This is the reason that players like suresh raina are flop in test matches and are good in T20. When it comes to Test match players like rahul dravid, sachin play well even in extreme conditions because they carry all the basics and grace of cricket. So just for quick entertainment this beautiful game cannot be sacrificed. I'm not saying that this format should be end but they should be given least priority.

A game attracting more people doesn't indicate that the game is in its natural harmony. Many friends have said that people are more encouraged by T20 previously. That doesn't indicate that real cricketing skills are not hurtled. Now-a-day You can watch that players are not interested in developing the classical shots but want to be a hitter.

It has many advantages like. 1. Its very fast and removes the boredom. 2. It is very useful to grow in countries where cricket is not strong. 3. The associate countries can be competed with ranked contries. 4. There is no pre-match winner probabilities. 5. The likes of IPL makes tremondoes oppurtunity for yougsters to showcase their talents. 6. Innovations at the extreme at batting, bowlig and fielding too. But along with these merits, there are demerits too.

1. Players are go behind money than country value. 2. Too much innovations and decaying of "class". 3. Tendency to retire from ODI and Test to concentrate oly in t20s. But in my point of view changes are mandatory, ie, if we are trying to stop that, we would have been living in caves. So its my openion to take the good qualities from t20s and apply them to the longerformat to up its grade. The pure cricket cant be destroyed by t20s.

But in T20 format batsman can able to score in the right areas even the ball pitches in the right line that increases the concentration and talent of the players. Before the 20 20 has arrived every one seems to watching the full 50 over match. After

We have to know that all these format are recording to the cricket. In all these formats a cricketer needs a lot of concentration and capable of shot selection as well as he must have intelligence playing skills. One thing we have to know that in test cricket we have five days time. So naturally every cricketer play with intelligence and he is going to good shot in this format. As we are coming to the one day matches we have 50 overs so the players are going hit the ball in batting powerplay. That's the thing in T20 cricket players doing which is commonly doing in 50 overs match in batting power play. This is my opinion. There is one default regarding to the T20 cricket the spectators of the cricket are boring to see the one day matches and test cricket matches after seeing the T20 cricket matches.

The pressure from the authorities and spectators is immense on the players and to cope up with this they really have to demonstrate their cricketing skills. Also, T20 format of cricket gives equal opportunity to upcoming cricketers. Along with T20 matches we are regularly having the ODIs and test matches which equals the craze for the T20 matches.

In one day format and test cricket players put more attention and they play with technique. In T20 format we don't need any technique but we need some hand power to hit the ball because the ground is very short. The T20 cricket is only for short time entertainment like a program. Many technical players like Dravid, Laxman lose their place in the T20 team. Because they did not hit the ball as hard as other batsman.

In T20 shot selection is too funny, but we can see lovely drives only in test matches. Test only mold any player as a genius. So, T20 is crushing traditional cricket.

Before we start our discussion i think it would be fine if we knew each other better and request everyone to introduce themselves one by one..... Now that we know quite well about each of us i would like to commence the discussion by providing my views on it.... The topic given to us is whether t20 cricket is killing real cricketing skills.I am strongly of the opinion that cricket is losing its austerity and charm owing to the recent trends in development of t20 cricket. The reason being that the shorter format of the game is much more interesting with a shorter duration has increased the craze towards it.People are more interested in watching it rather than the traditional and conventional formats of the game due to the gala involved in it. But the actual obscured fact is that t20 does not recognize the true skills that a cricketer is ought to possess.It provides a much shorter duration where the key word is to go for the big shots and score quickly rather than hone their skills instead. Even the players with sound technique in their skills are forced to adapt to a rather bashful and unconventional methodology which kills and denounces the purity and skill present more in abundance in test or even the one day formats. So, the craze on t20 is just short lived as it can never possess the ability to test or increase the skills of any cricketer and its only the true test format that is healthy for the substantial increase in the level of quality cricket.
