Is T20 Cricket killing Real 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.

No I'm not agree, instead I think T-20 cricket format is helping to improve the standard or quality of cricket by making it more interesting and more enthusiastic game. As, the cricketers either bowler or batsman have very limited time to perform so they try to play more efficiently to make more runs or take more wickets into that limited time and this had become possible by their improved cricket skill. In same time time it providing more entertainment to audience in less time.

I think T20 T20 cricket is good for entertainment but it will not test the caliber of a player. For example : if player good in T20 T20 will not be good in test cricket. Except a few like (KP, Gayle, Sehwag, Koli, Shane Watson, Kallis, Jayawardene, Ross Taylor). So I think test cricket is real cricket which tests physical as well as mental aspect.

But T20 T20 can be used as development of cricket which can be played in non playing nations like (USA, Ireland, China, Russia, Argentina, Arab Country, Canada, Brazil) in these countries you can hold a world cup instead of hosting in cricket playing nation. i.e. good for expanding cricket and new country can also come for playing cricket. Test cricket always have a value and now one day cricket should be scrapped. Let there be test and T20 only. This my view.

Hello everyone I am Manish and I am partially agree with this statement that T20 killing skills because T20 is not a platform to judge the caliber of any cricketer because cricketer were in high pressure to make good score for the country, so at some extent we can say that it kills the cricketing skills.

But if you see the other side of it T20 gives the chance to new cricketers to show their skills, so we can not totally agree with the given topic.

T20 have changed the face of cricket, now this sport becomes more exciting and interesting, we love T20 cricket.

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.

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.

I think that the T20 cricket is good than test and ODI because it does not take more time. T20 format is good for youngster. In this format batsman has to be in a good form so he can fight well.

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.

I think definitely not at all. Because OF T20 cricket many more players are getting chances for playing cricket. Due to that format cricket is getting new talents day by day. Simply I say T20 is the best format among all and it's the best platform of every kind of players.

Due to T20 CRICKET format nowadays cricket is being so interesting and so popular. Day by day the importance of cricket is growing up only because of T20 cricket.
