thats right 20/20 cricket caters to the so called 'fast food' generation. its all about money and entertainment, when you look at the crowd at a 20/20 game you see women and children most of whom havent the slightest idea about whats going on on the field. they just there for the lime.
only in england and australia does test cricket still attract sizeable crowds, it's popularity has been dwindling around the world since the introduction of limited overs cricket and even more so now with the 20/20.
test cricket is cricket in its purest form and any true cricket fan will tell you that it is the best form of cricket providing varying degrees of excitement of the 5 day period.
test cricket can be just as entertaining as 20/20 but little has happened in the recent past to prove that and attract people to the test game. every now and then an enthralling test series will take place rekindling the passion for the game but test cricket has been plagued by 'dead' wickets as we saw in the caribbean for england's tour and negative tactics such as slow over rates.
when these cynical factors come into play, test cricket becomes dour and sometimes unwatchable. i wouldnt want to see test cricket die but it seems to be heading down that path. it is up to the players to provide some exciting games and show test cricket in a better light if it is to stay alive.

and what makes the best players in the world what they are today
then come talk to me
Well if you can't think outside the box and realise the world is based on a 24 hour clock and life is moving at a fast pace and you refuse to think beyond "the foundation of cricket"...then i cya help u

I am simply saying sports have become commercialised on a global scale, look at soccer, americans and asians were crap back in the days but now they excel in it.
When cricket reaches the US bet your bottom dollar they gonna wanna dominate it, deny it all you want but when americans get involved in sport they make a big deal of it. Just look at baseball, do you know where most of the top baseball players come from?...no it's not from the US...but they're playing in top US leagues
Look at it as opportunity for caribbean people (and others) to actually be recognised for something good and possibly for young people to actually want to get involved in something because of the opportunities that may be ahead.
Don't just knock it cuz you don't like it, look at the broader picture.
Oh wait, this is tuner...nevermind.
