Is T20 Cricket killing Real Cricketing Skills?

I don't agree with the above topic and I would like to add some points to that.

1. T-20 is good for entertainment as it brings lots of spectators and it's also helping bowlers and batsmen to try new things to be successful.

2. Personally, I feel in test cricket real skills are displayed because as batsmen you have to bat whole day so it needs loads of temperament, skill, focus, determination because one ball can get you out whereas, bowlers have to take 20 wickets to win a match so it needs loads of skills.

3. T-20 has helped test cricket in a good way as, batsmen try to play more aggressive nowadays 300-400 plus score are scored in a single day so it becomes interesting. Spectators are not bored they like competitive cricket.

Today every other thing getting faster. Things like communication, transportation, even our mobile phone and computer are becoming more and faster. So, why not cricket! Today in this busy world no one has the time of sitting in front of television whole day and watching a test match.
T20 matches are short and time conserving. It has also an advantage of excitement instead of boring test matches. And yes, the skill of real cricket is not all about consuming more and more balls and remain not out the whole day. T20 cricket is all about skill as, in less time you have to achieve big thing- Victory.

Conclusion: T20 cricket is not killing real cricketing skills. It is making cricket more exciting and cricketer more skillful.

T20 game in cricket is a matter of patience, perseverance and hard work.
Both sides in game fights tougher than other so as to determine which one will come out on top.
In T20 a batsman's skills are put to test since the number of overs is less and every ball matters.
So, its necessary for batsman to hit quickfire or affirmative shots to put his team to any targeted total.

Secondly, the bowlers have a very limited number of overs unlike ODI, where a bowler can bowl 10 overs at a stretch, so his/her economy in bowling becomes a key factor in T20's. So, T20 is not killing any cricketing skills.
Rather it sets a stage for batsman to test their patience, power and ability to control the game till 20 overs.

Hello everybody,

T20 cricket is the format of a limited over cricket where the spectators get entertained by the thrill of the game and power play like big hits by the batsmen. In this format, I think that, there is a lack of scope to a bowler to perform well. In 50-50 overs matches or test cricket, there is a scope to judge a player not only by his ability but by his patience and class. But in T20 format, there is very shortage of time to perform well. This format is only for entertaining purpose. It is not helpful for a cricketer to represent himself as a complete player in front of thousand of spectators. So on my point of view, T20 cricket is killing the real cricketing skills.

Thank you.

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.

According to my point of view IPL is fix match only and all players are paid money and the team is also fix who will win. I first they play so good then after the real game starts Ipl is Indian profit league many many top businessman teams are there in IPL eg. Mukesh ambani, shillpa shetty, SRK, they invest their money for the profit only.

I don't like T20 matches because the real power of the player is tested in the test player only if he scores runs 45 to 70 in 20 to 30 balls he is consider as an good player and the people who is poor but they have an extraordinary skill in cricket but they can't afford cricket equipment and coaching classes so government should support them.

I don't think that T20 is ruining cricket. You can yourself see that this format has given the batsman a huge level of confidence to chase down big totals. You since the inception of this format a lot many teams have chased down totals in excess of 300 very easily which was not so earlier. Earlier 300 was considered a winning total but today the scenario has changed. It has provided the crowd a lot of entertainment.

But as said every coin has two sides. This format for sure has effected the popularity of the other formats especially test cricket due to the availability of quick result in the latter format. As we all know every thing with an advantage has some disadvantage!

Hi everyone, as it stands in India Cricket is taken as only entertainment. T20 is the form of cricket that provide entertainment but it cannot bring in talent for India. If we see players 10 to 15 years back we will find that they used to play county crickets but now IPL is the only place where young players play before they play for India. T20 is just a 20 over game and anything can happen in 20 overs. To play test cricket talent and skill is needed and above that patient is needed. Indian players are in a hurry even when they play test and that is the main reason that they are not able to bat even for 90 overs. If this continues Indian cricket might have to suffer a lot.

No, T20 cricket is not killing real cricket skills. First of all the real cricket means the test match format which is played for 5 days. I agree to the point that it totally differs from t20 cricket as in test cricket you need to play defensive, with patience and have to play a long inning to support your team and T20 cricket is a short format requiring big shots and fast playing. I think t20 develops good bowling skills for the Odi's and test as bowling in the death overs and not giving more runs will make your bowling good and make it more and better. So, overall it is not killing real cricket skills but is also a good format to develop your bowling and batting skills.

As for as my concern. As you know each coin has 2 sides. In the same way, it's also as some advantages and disadvantages too.

Cricket is a sport which is much popular in India than other countries. As for as, T20 is a concern, it is absolutely different attribute than ODI and test match. It contains completely different techniques than others. Like:

1) It provides fan complete entertainment in short period of time, but it distracted meaning of cricket. Because there is some cricketer how not able to show their potential like such formats.

2) The World is moving fast Eg: T20 cricket. It also shows management in short period and decision making and skill of the cricket.
