Is T20 Cricket killing Real Cricketing Skills?

Yes, l am agreed with this statement that "T20 cricket killing real cricketing skills", Because in T20 cricket players just "do or die" we have many examples of bowlers can hit sixes as compared to batsman which is not a skill just hit every ball either six or out. Any good skilled batsman lost his wicket due to hitting without set on crease. And any good bowler get many runs in his over due to continuing hitting this lead to demotivating bowler.

In T20 you face very less balls and can hit good runs without good skills, and you get out while you have very good skills.

While in Test cricket you have opportunity to face many balls and to show your skills and techniques.

Good evening everyone,

I'm Deepak Reddy. It's a great pleasure to me that we are here to discuss the topic "Is T20 affect the real cricket skill". T20 doesn't affect real cricket because nowadays people are not interested in watching test matches, rather than they watch T20 as a time of the match will be less and more enthusiastic. T20 provides an opportunity for newcomers. One more thing I would like to add telecasting of test matches in TV costs much as test matches go on for 4 to 5 days & In T20 matches there will be good glamour such as cheer girls. So I would like to conclude that T20 matches are more interesting and which doesn't affect real cricket.

I think that T-20 is just a type of cricket that the public just for enjoy. It has a reason for this because here the time is very shorted and our modern busy life it is very important to us. It takes the time three to four hours.

Here obviously a question will arise that the player just wasted their skills?but I think that it is not so. The players whose technical skill is perfectly correct they performed any type of matches.

So it is not to correct to say that T-20 wasted the player's skill. It is correct that it wasted the players patience. Because of a one day or test matches prove a player's patience. But T-20 has no opportunity for this proven.

I am French. I live in the UK. I live 5 minutes from Headingley, home of Yorkshire CCC and many Ashes showdowns. If it weren't for T20 cricket, I would have never been to the stadium and discovered the game. Before that I was thinking 'what's the point of a 5-day match, what kind of dumb sports is that'. I'm used to football, American football, baseball, sports where you see impressive feats in a few hours' time.

Big-hitting T20 gave me those same feelings. You guys need T20 if you want the sport to expand on the global stage. In England the sport cannot compete with football and rugby. Even the NFL is now bringing games to us every year now!

Nowadays every sport is an entertainment for people. No one has that much patience to conclude a game deeply. So according to me, every format of cricket has its own dignity. Its depends on us that which format of the game we like much. Every player has its own skills in cricket.
For example, Rahul Dravid played an excellent innings in test matches in his career.
Sourav Ganguly & Sachin Tendulkar played their best on ODI format in their career & now it's Virat Kohli who is showing his top class performance on T20 matches.

So the discussion on this topic will never end because as I said it depends on us that which format we like much.

In some manner, T20 is killing test cricket but in other, it is not killing as we can see the bowling strength can be improved so that batsmen cannot hit the ball for a boundary from T20 but the extra innovation can harm the quality of playing test cricket like when a player or a batsmen plays T20 then they are in the mood of hitting the ball out of the ground and the crowd loved it but will test cricket our audience says we don't have that much of time to see the whole day of a test match and the patience needed by a player in test cricket lacks so both the formats of the games have their own respect and reputation. Thank you.

Hi all.

We even don't think that t20 cricket is dominating now everywhere because Test cricket and limit over Cricket have their respect as well. In Test cricket format you have to deliver your patience, skills, able to score big. Test Cricket is not only defined you but it teaching you about your patience, skills, etc.

Yes, Nowadays we are very much addict to the T20 format game or mostly called the 360-degree game, But it doesn't decrease that 2 level and enhance the skills and how to score. It not good for bowlers and they have to be the best in all formats and here you have to be perfect under any circumstances.

I think T20 is the best chance to show their talent for new players. There is no effect of T20 and ODI cricket. We see a real cricket in T20 matches. Cricket lovers are enjoy to see T20 matches in this busy life. This is a good platform for young players and also for failure cricketers. The players has a opportunity to show all their skills. I am not criticize other formats.

Finally I am telling is each game has it own speciality. The players are trying to show all their skills in all formats. A real professional cricketer dedicate all his life to the game whatever the format is like SACHIN TENDULKAR and M.S. DHONI.

T20 cricket is one of the best formats for player improving the skills quickly and takes a decision shortly. T20 cricket is not killing the real cricket skills and also improving the batting skills. This format is player shorts full 360 degrees. Most of the thing improving skills with the t20 format is better than ODI and test format. The test format is improving stamina of batsman and fitness. ODI format is a little bit better than test, in ODI format improving batting and more for bowling skills. Finally, I say t20 is not killing the cricket and know the strength of batsman and new batting styles are improved.
