Is T20 Cricket killing Real Cricketing Skills?

Hello Everyone,

I Think T20 Cricket Killing Real Cricketing Skills Now a days playing more T-20 Cricket than test Cricket, Cricketer Loses their technique due to play lots of T20 Cricket. According to Report of cricket journalist from 2010 to 2014 test cricket 10% of test cricket match ended in 3 days 25% cricket match ended in 4 days and only few matches is been drawn.

So according my view T20 cricket badly affecting the Real Test Cricket.

As per my point of view, the T20 is the best platform to promote not only the cricket at the intentional standards but only it gives at least a change to hidden players to shows their capability in the span of time.

It is also bless for those players who are waiting for a long to get at-least a change to play and show their talent at the national as well as international standards. You can ask for them what is the actual meaning of this change.

If we will take a game as for opportunity for all mankind to show some talent, so No game kills real talent of someone else. Which will be adopted as ocean of opportunities.

No game big or small, our mind set make it lots of issues for that. The game required discipline, team spirit etc. If it would be their it will be emerge as the best game ever.

For example:- KABADI. Now days, which is promoting the players.

Hello Friends.

I would like to tell you about the T20 cricket mainly IPL and ICC's organized matches. That affects the players in playing Tests and Odis also as a T20 style. They are used to playing fastest cricket event and it affects in different ways.

Firstly it is decreasing the interest of Odis even the public feel bore now watching ODI's which had the greater impact earlier. That interest is slowing down i.e. They want the entertainment in ODI's like in T20 cricket. But what really matters is that Real entertainment of ODI's is loosing day by day.

And even the players are affecting their ability of tolerance, calmness as well as range of shots. And as a result losing their techniques. I must say players looses their capability and techniques and play different types of ugly shots that affects his real talent, Mostly it happens.

As we know the Real cricket is Test cricket and we can not watch it until and unless Great temperament, calmness, talent is not present. The bowlers are affected due to field restrictions as well as by shorter boundaries, it makes them feel low.

Whereas in Odis and Test a player has a time to comeback strongly and show his talent. Due to IPL even the talented players due to the guarantee of money even not try to play up to his talent and even decreasing it. So T20 cricket is really Killing Cricketing Skills.

Thank You.

With due respect to everybody's opinion I think that T20 cricket is really helping cricketers adding so much of skills and varieties. Cricketers nowadays have become more and more innovative in their shot making and in their approach which was so rare if we look in the past and secondly I believe that as a viewer we definitely need a change and in the end we as viewers need entertainment and people are loving it.

In my point of view, we cannot say that T20 is killing the skill of cricket, as it is creating a new skill in which every one cannot perform. For example a T20 is a game in which generates a player who can hit 50 runs just in 20 balls which cannot be generate by a test match.

And also generate a player who can perform good in extreme pressure, for example in a test match if a team wants 30 runs in last over it can be done by player who plays T20. Where as in test match it is also a skill to be patient and strength to play 5 days continuously.

So conclusion is that for t20 the selection can be on IPL bases but for test match Ranji based selection should be preferred and if a player can manage to perform good on both the format then it is our honor to have these kind of talented players. B/c at the end of the day we want victory on all the formats of game.

T20 becomes popular and it attracts people towards itself but there are some cons also. Like popularity of test matches is almost going. But other hand it becomes popular as in 21th century people have no time like 8 hours or 5 days to spend. So quickly they can give it.

Today game like IPL becoming more popular through which many players emerged and India got talent. Playing style of cricketers also improved as there are so many matches and a player prepare himself for every match so ultimately T20 is not bad for cricket.

What I believe is that nothing is permanent when we get back to 300 years or odd into past any form of cricket doesn't exist at all. And when it came into action we all know that people who were playing cricket was mostly those who got much leisure time like British officials, kings etc. So at that point of time may be playing a game for five days would seem to be much entertaining to both players and spectators.

In this 100 years worlds population has been drastically increased and people's need to manage time in this competition is also increased. As all these sports and all emerged from people I feel that sports also need to adopt new methods, I doesn't mean that we must completely neglect old and pure form of original cricket even it need to be existed but also modifications have to be done Time to time and new forms have to be introduced along with old and original cricket.

All formats of cricket have its on beauty. Can a person without talent become star in T20?

Absolutely No.

There is a large number of fans loving T20. One of the reason for football most popular because its short duration and full time entertainment. So love all formats of cricket along with T20.

T20 has brought a new charm to cricket attracting huge audience and fan following because of it being fast paced, aggressive and lots of entertainment. Players have to adapt themselves to different formats as it requires different skill set.

A T20 match requires the player to think aggressively, attack consistently and improvise. On the other hand, a test match which people consider as the real cricket, requires patience and textbook technique. An AB de Villiers shot over fine-leg in a T-20 match or a classy drive from V.V.S.Laxman in a test match, both require skill.

So, we can instead say that it's bringing new skills and thought process in cricketers rather than killing cricketing skills.

No. T20 is a format which is entirely different from test cricket. There are some players who are capable of scoring quick runs but cannot bat for long and there are some who can bat for long but cannot score quick runs (e.g. Pujara).

So you need different set of skills for both these formats and to say that one format is killing the real cricketing skills is not correct. You cannot expect each player to perform equally good in both these formats, though there are some who are capable of performing good in both formats.
