Is T20 format doing harm to the Cricket?

"Is T20 format doing harm to the Cricket?"

I don't think so; T20 format is not doing any harm to the game of cricket...

Friends,

When I used to play cricket with my friends I always had a problem of the specific overs and decisive period for closing the game and declare the winners and ans runners up. similarly all other children who play cricket in a neighborhood park need to have a particular pattern that suits them to get the satisfaction od a real match.

Friends,

With the introduction T20 Cricket all the kids parties have switched over to this pattern for playing cricket and getting the satisfaction as if they are playing big-boy's game. By playing T20 the boys can compare themselves with Sachin and Sahavag and Dhoni.

Wow!You have given a very good point Mr. Harish. Nowadays, all the tournaments are being played in the T20 format, with almost all the international rules being followed (as much as possible).

@ Harish

Yes harish i am agree with you what you said. T20 gives all kids and other big boys to play a match in short time with a pattern.

And it is because of T20 that many more people got interested in the game of cricket. Previously, my mother had no interest in cricket. But now even she watches the IPL matches with a lot of interest. Isn't this a good sign for cricket?

Santhosh,

So you says that as there are many local teams in IPL, match fixing is increased..
Okay.. chances are there..

And i too agree to you that there is no need in adding cricket to olympics...

T-20 has made its existence in very short time.It is still a great format to play. People enjoy this cricket. T-20 is being been popular so much just because of its new concept .

Yes harish,

Cricket got popularised by the british when they ruled lion's share of the planet..
But i don't think that cricket will be added in olympics.

Cricket is already getting good popularity through world cups, championships etc.
If cricket is added to olympics, popularity of other games may be affected.
So, i think T20 will not be added..

Yes harish,

T20 is a game were each seconds counts..
Speed has a prominent role..

Its all about Think fast and Do fast..!!

As T20 matches are fast and live, viewers are entertained a lot.
They love to watch T20 matches..

Lohit,

I agree that seats in a stadium will be the same. But viewers are not only those who are physically present at stadium..

Television,Internet etc. have a lot of viewers watching T20 matches..
From the TV ratings its clear that T20 has comparitively more viewers.

But,the thing is that if the match is interesting .. Otherwise if the match has something in it.. It will always have a crowd to make it live...!!

T-20 cricket give you enjoyment and has made a exciting cricket among the youngsters who had just arrive in cricketing field.
It not only gives us enjoyment but truly i believe that it gives a chance to the players to come in the cricket career again who have lost their rhythm as well as hope. Cricketers like Ashish Nehra ,Suresh raina has made a come back through this cricket only.
So, i don't think T-20 is harming the cricket but giving a chance to survive in cricket.

Lohit,

I also agree that ODI's have not loosed its followers..!!
It still has the punch in it..

If the match is worth watching, people will always rush to be the part of the game..!!

ODI has its own entertainment value. T20 matters speed a lot. Its more over a Batting game rather than a pefect cricket.

A perfect cricket will have a balanced pleasure and excitement in it.

T20 is like a test tube baby.. A product for the new generation who loves speed a lot and have time very less..!!

Remember the wise word..

Slow and steady wins the race.. !! Not the speed..

ODI is a good cricket whereas T20 is a fast cricket..

@ mani,

A real lover of cricket will always find time to watch his favourite game. Its a fact that the value of time had increased ; Otherwise, people says that they don't have time..!!

T20 had increased viewers to a slight extend only due to the fact that it takes only less time.
Its a fact that entertainment value of T20 matches are more..


@ Cool Boy

You have said that due to T20 , the batting pace in ODI's and tests matches have increased. Its a fact upto some extend. But its not a good practise. Every match has its own strategy..

T20 asks you to play in an aggressive manner..
Whereas, Test matches need a consistent play..

So, mixing up this is not a good practise..

@ santosh,

I can't agree to you that T20's are affecting bad to ODI matches..
You have said that comparison is possible only if both T20 and ODI is conducted on the same day.

No need for conducting both on same day for comparing it..
Comparisons are done based on TV ratings, surveys etc.

@ Harish,

Yes its a very fast game were everyone is forced to move with the pace..
A game of speed is visible on T20 grounds..


@ Amit,

If ODI and T20 is placed on the same day. People will love to watch the game which is worth watching.
But I don't think that it will be implemented. It will be financially a loss..

Ronark,

You have given a strong point favouring T20 matches..

T20 gives more chances for new comers to show their talents and enter into the cricket world..
T20 is like an audition to see whether you suits to cricket or not..!!

Test cricket in India seems to be in the decline. But innovation can revive it. T20 is a game of luck and Indian audiences will tire of it when their 'Icons' get walloped regularly by Tier 2 teams.

T20 matches are financially more good.We can take the advantage of it..

Make the stadiums better with the IPL money to improve spectator comfort and improve the standard of first class cricket. Fundamentally for cricket to thrive there has to be a contest between bat and ball and match scheduling should be proper, stronger teams should play against each other in competitive tracks favoring bowlers.
Don't make cricket as a game of batsmen only..

Cricket quality is directly proportional to the pace bowling quality.

@ jobin and santosh

yes olympics should not add T20, this will create chances of match fixing but on the another side if cricket will get enter into olympics then there can be increase in the number of gold medal in olympics due to cricket. Cricket is the only one game in which india can be more effective.

@ jobin

Jobin it all depends upon how much match is interesting. Viewers depends upon how much match is interesting. If the match is of complete fighting and interesting the viewers all which present physically in the stadium will also present with mentally.

@ Ronark

Yes Ronark, I agree with you. The topic "T20 is not doing harm to cricket" is completely right. If a player who have more dedication to show his game then there is good chance for that player. T20 match starts a hope for new players like youngster who sit at the back side of the main players.

@ jobin

Thanks Jobin for getting agree with me. This give little bit much more confidence.Jobin you said" ODI is a good cricket whereas T20 is a fast cricket." Dear T20 don't have the balance of complete balance with a bowler game and batsman game. ODI game is complete balanced game which have chances for both bowlers and batsman. In ODI both bowlers and batsman can increase their records. In T20 only batsman can enhance their record.

@ santosh, jobin and amit

In this suggestion i am only agree with jobin and amit. People will love to watch the game which is worth watching. But I don't think that it will be implemented. It will be financially a loss..
