In my opinion, 20-20 cricket has provided a better means of entertainment. You don't have to sit next to tv for a long time as in test cricket and saves our valuable time. I agree that twenty twenty cricket requires a different skill set. It needs lot more energy and aggression as compared to fifty over cricket or test cricket but it is helping in giving chances to the young players to show their skill and prove themselves.

I think it is absolutely correct. In test cricket, one batsman plays whole day by defensing and his technique, whereas, in T20 cricket, one batsman can play maximum 20 overs. In this small overs match, he wants to play big hits. In T20, the players cannot get the opportunity to show their technical skills. Thus, it is right that T20 cricket is killing real cricketing skills, which will show a big issue for a country to get the good technically perfect players for that country.

In my opinion, T20 cricket is very good because everyone has watching more cricket it means more people see cricket for entertainment and try to take some good point from cricket so T20 give more knowledge. And if you see by the second way then there is also good it means more player not took chance for so our ability but T20 cricket give more chance to show your ability and show how are you. T20 cricket does not give presser to the player because T20 have common point make more run.

I think yes, b'coz Test and One-day cricket games require patience. No more skills are shown in T20 cricket other than shots. In every game, technique is required. But T20 creates more excitement than others.

In my opinion, it is good to play T20 cricket as it has most of the times thrilling and nail-biting finishes which increase the interest of the viewer but on the other hand, it is also ruining the basic format of cricket i.e. test cricket. Test cricket makes a player fit for a long time and increases his stamina but the viewers does not like it because it is quite long and boring.

Hello everyone.

In my point of view, T20 cricket is not killing cricket. I have given the confidence to the players that they can clear the boundary at any match moment. It is implementation of ODI AND TEST CRICKET. T20 has given more publicity to the cricket. Where every family can come and watch the game as it is the matter of only 3 hours.

Due to T20 cricket, the concentration of the batsmen and bowler has doubled because one bad ball or bad shot can loose the match.

Twenty-Twenty Cricket is not actually killing cricket completely it slowly killing test cricket. In modern cricket players interested in scoring quickly and they concerned about strike rate. If we observe recent test crickets most of the teams have no patience to bat throughout 5 days. Twenty cricket is also killing bowlers because audience only likes to see batsmen hitting sixes and also modern power play rules only helps batsmen score quickly and no role for bowlers.

Hello friends, Everything has its own pros and cons. Similar is the case with T20- Crickets new format. One cannot disregard the fact that it has enlightened the sport if cricket. According to me, T20 is a trendsetter. T20 has brought in innovative batting. The speciality of T20 is that it has enhanced a player's ability to absorb pressure and play according to the situation. But the plight we see us that it has mostly favoured the batsman in comparison with bowlers.

Although here and there we see glimpses of magical bowling performance by world class bowlers, generally it's batsmen's game. Throughout the years T20 has witnessed some of the fabulous performances by players (IPL, BIg bash league) etc. But I feel T20 has affected the most important thing that a player needs-patience, which is why I consider TEST cricket as a best cricket format. Test cricket is the original format with which cricket evolved. Now also test cricket has not lost its glory as it demands patience, strength, stamina and discipline. One of the criticism that I feel about T20 is that it has resulted in more cases of corruption and illegal betting with respect to past days. Also some players take T20 as a money making event. Another plight is that players opt T20 over their country, which is degrading the value of cricket. But I am not against T format as it has helped create more opportunities for some of the local players which will be yard stick for their selection in international arena. All things change with time. I think cricket is also changing, but hopes will be for the better. Thank you.

According to me, T20 is no killing cricketing skills rather it is helping in appraising the skills by enhancing the performance level of cricketers and as per the duration of the match players play in a much more enthusiastic and energetic way.

And moreover viewers of cricket also increased in T20 as they do not have to sit back for long time and they enjoy watching the match with same enthusiasm as that of the cricketers playing on the ground.
