| 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. |

| This let player to perform under very pressure situation of the game. So they can improve mentally as well as technically. But on the other side it's testing the patience of the players when they play test cricket. Nowadays very few test matches ended as draw compare to when t20 cricket was not in introduced. |

| Currently, we all like the T20 format of cricket because now all our citizens don't have the patience to watch long term cricket. So, T20 is trending as compared to other formats. So, it doesn't mean like that. It isn't killing Real cricketing skills. It improves the skills of players in the limited formats. It gives chance to the players to prove them in the short format. It isn't like against the cricketing skills. |

| Well everything has its pros and cons. If we look in financial terms then t20 has contributed a lot and given platform to lot many young talents. But actually, in t20 cricket, bowlers are not worried about their speed, line and length, for example - many times bowlers get wickets on loose deliveries also and so they didn't improve themselves and had to suffer in test and Odis, as we can see in the case if West Indies. |

| In my opinion, T20 is not killing cricket because players are getting platform, money and grooming chance with senior players. It is also increasing the popularity of the game. IN India IPL has become the festival of cricket, this is helping the younger player to achieve their goal. |

| 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. |

It will be useful for exploring their skills in T20. It is used to express in world cup matches. It is useful learning small things in T20 matches. That will express in world level matches. So, T20 is main part in cricketers life. Thank You. |

| T20 cricket helps in improvement of young talent in a rapid manner. So it teaches players to adopt to situation as fast as he/she can. Yes some of the skills are missing in T20 as its the shorter version Like patience and playing defensive, playing long innings. But its simple you can not get every vitamin and protein in a single dish. To get all you have to eat different dish. So what I think T20 is not killing any skill its just helping in learning some fascinating skills. |

| This question itself is not correct. Because the one who watches the game of cricket will surely know that it's not killing the real cricketing skills. While analayzing the question, we should interpret the term REAL. What actually is REAL cricketing skills. Are there are some skills which is considered as real and some other is unreal. There is no such differentiation. Every skill is real in its purest form. T20 s has contributed a large extend for the invention of new skills like dilscope, switch hit. These are unconventional way of scoring runs but they can be considered as a skill. When batsman tries to score runs they take different Methods which not only makes the crowd entertained but also makes the batsman to do something out of the he box. In earlier days test cricket is considered as the most difficult form of cricket. But now it's T20. The one who can adapt to the situations rapidly can survive. So as a conclusion note T20 are not killing the real cricketing skills it actually invokes the real talent in the players. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| GREETINGS! I think T-20 is promoting the cricket and so many youngsters got the chance to play in national level with senior players and also able to improve their skills. In return they get huge amount of money also which is a good thing. Because of T-20 Indian economy is also increasing day by day. India has become the hub for cricket because of IPL and T-20 matches due to which India is gaining its popularity day by day and so many businessman and officials wants to spend more. This format is meant for a twist in cricket. Many international series contain 1, 2 or 3 T20 matches along with test series and/or ODI series. They are like an opportunity, for e. G, in the India-Australia series. India couldn't pursue the ODI's. But Then they made a clean sweep against Australia in the T20s, which broke a 140-year-old record, that no team has clean sweeped Australia, against Australia, in Australia. So India ended up at no. 1 in T20's. Moreover, because its a shorter format of cricket, people can go and watch the matches live at the stadium, while one can't watch a whole test match for 4 days continuous! Last but not the least, T20 internationals and Domestic T20's like IPL, BBL etc. Have brought great attraction among youngsters and kids, while many adults and older people think that it's destroying Test Cricket, which is absolutely wrong! So, I think that T20's and T20 are one of the best formats of the sport. See what happens when weed-dopers become CEO's and big corporation decision makers! They try to legalize weed. Is that how you want weed to become? weed is 'ganja' and yes, its become legal in some states in US and its coming for India too. (That is a different story). Finest tea of Darjeeling, Finest oranges of Nagpur, these never go into Indian mouths. They just get shipped abroad for the rich people. Why ? because you fed it to the businessmen. And then those men did what they do best with things, make money off them. Even if it means killing a few important morals and bare minimum patriotism. I mean, I'm not saying don't make money. I'm saying don't cross the line of decency to do it. Majority of 'the best quality' throughput should be for the growers and those who embrace that soil. Majorly exporting everything good isn't nice. And so don't let history repeat itself. Don't legalize weed. They are doing it so they can ruit it. They did it to cricket in front of you by bathing you with 20-20 cricket. Its being sold to you and are getting sold and you don't even know it. And then its too late. This is currently the transition period. We have to decide if it stays or it goes. After this generation, there is no looking back anymore forever. |

| It would be wrong to say that T20 Cricket is killing cricketing skills. On the other hand, it isn't exactly right to say that T20 is enhancing them either. Pros of Twenty20 Cricket: The fans are returning to the stadiums. During my school days, if I wanted to watch a cricket match in the stadium, my father would have had to take a leave from his office to take me to the stadium either in the morning for the day games or during the afternoon for D/N matches. Now, if there is a T20 match, IPL for instance, I can easily attend my classes during the day and enjoy the game at night. Time is saved, no harm to other activities of the day and sheer entertainment of enthralling and nail-biting finishes to end the day. T20 cricket is raising the scoring rate of One-Day Internationals. The 366 by England in the Cuttack ODI against India was the 100th 350+ score in ODI history. More than 75 of these 100 have come since 2007, the year of the inaugural T20 World Cup. T20 cricket provides Cricket Boards a window to conduct lucrative leagues that can attract players and fans alike. IPL, CPL and BBL have created an aura of their own in the cricket world. Cons of Twenty20 Cricket: Test cricket, the original form of cricket, is losing its charm. We see empty stands during test matches in most of the stadiums around the world. The fans would prefer watching exciting matches for a few hours rather than watch a technical but a restrained display of the game. New players focus on performing in these shorter formats to make it big and fail to understand the requirements that test cricket demands. Players like Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers are not common sights because the new players do not focus on the basics but jump directly into the performances. In conclusion, Twenty20 cricket is being an excellent catalyst to ICC's efforts towards making cricket a global sport. But somewhere, it is also taking away the originality of cricket that tested a cricketer's physical and mental strengths. |

| I don't think so it is killing test cricket because. The entertaining game " We are all aware of the fact that T 20 is a more interesting game than the normal cricket. The viewers in the gallery are extremely supportive and enthusiastic. The game begins with the dance and huge pomp and show. T 20 is a complete entertainment package. - Attracts the interest " Earlier the cricket games were played for 50 overs. T20 has changed the entire concept of cricket in a positive way. Today, people do not have enough time and patience to watch a 50 over the game. The concept of T 20, where there are only 20 overs, has increased the interest of the people to watch the game. - Acts as a practice game " T 20 is much more like a practice game for the players. It can be utilized for the purpose of maintaining the fitness of the players. In a T 20 game, the players are always in a hurry to score maximum runs. This helps them to remain strong on the pitch. - Acts as a morale boost " The normal cricket of 50 overs carries a lot of patience on part of the players. But, T 20 has made the game more adventurous. The game gives a lot of confidence to the players as they have to chase a less score when compared to a 50 over match score. - Talent provider " T 20 has given an opportunity to many players to showcase their talent in the field of cricket. Young players like Manish Pandey, Suresh Raina, who were not well known before, gained a popularity with the invention of T20 matches. |

| T20 cricket is really killing the real cricket skill, as it is quite evident that the sole purpose of this type of limited overs match is entertainment, and it's all about hitting the maximum numbers of sixes and fours. Thus a pinch hitter, who has less cricketing skill, gets successful in this type of matches, In this type of matches the moment a batsmen enters the field, all he thinks about is hitting a six or four, and for the sake of crowd and team he has to play unlike his nature and go for sixes or fours. |

In ancient days, cricketers used to play days together in test format but nowadays as they inculcated to the mode of 20-20 format. So players were not having much courage and patience to stand for the wicket. There are some other reasons which are beneficial to 20-20 cricket. 1. A Huge amount of entertainment. 2. Nowadays, no one is having to have a view of the full match. So this will be a good format for the people who want to enjoy the match for some time. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| But according to me, t20 cricket effect the cricketing skills of an cricketer. Yes I agree that due to t20 format many new talented players get chances to prove their talent. But in the meantime, if you take risk than sometime it will pass and sometimes it fails. T20 cricket is also about risk. If you give a bat to a person who does not know how to play than also he can hit the ball to the midwicket area but it does not mean that he knows cricket vary well. He takes the risk and that's why he hits the ball. But in case of cricketing skills 4 and 6 is not everything, sometime a solid defense looks amazing. Test cricket is all about patience and brain, similarly odi is also the same. In those format you can't take risk every time so you should have that much talent to hold and score run depending upon the situation. There fore according to me T20 cricket effects cricketing skills of an cricketer. |

I think there is nothing harm to ODI and test cricket because of t20 if the planning is perfect. |

| The emerge of t20 doesn't kill any kind of cricketing skills for me. It's just improving the skills like taking fast decisions and taking an efficient risk during pressure situations and it does not effect test cricket. Nowadays test cricket also very interesting to watch because most of the match finished with a result and it is also finishing with some nail biting match like t20. So it depends on upon the player's mindset only. So it is not right to blame t20. It is the just improvement of cricket to next level. |

Some cricketers adapt good for test cricket and so for ODI and t20. You can see some new invention of cricketing shots in this era. So this short format has made cricket more popular and interesting. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

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. |

| Talking about skills what we witness in T20 cricket like power hitting, slog on demand & getting runs thick & fast are real eye-candies for spectators. Even for these one needs to have special skills and abilities. In restraint of "Real Cricketing Skill" one cannot underestimate such talents or downplay their power hitting skills and abilities. On the other hand, it is a real misconception regarding T20 cricket that you don't need to have a good defense technique or any other conventional way of batting that come straight cricket coaching manual. Basic things to consistently do well in any form of cricket remains the same. Going through the discussions above what I have seen is that most of my friends have given their opinions & viewpoint from a batsman point of view. We often tend to forget that bowling and fielding are an equally important aspect of the game. A good Yorker, a cutting outswinger, a vicious reverse swing, a well-flighted delivery, a deceptive "Goggly" or a "Doosra", a brilliant catch was taken are equally delightful. So even here the formula to do well and succeed remains the same that is to keep the basics right. Every good shot that is played, every good bowl that is bowled & ever catch that is taken is a part of "Real Cricketing Skills" irrespective of the format. Changes are inevitable. Even the approach toward playing cricket (like any other sport) has changed and evolved over the year for a better prospect. Notwithstanding the changes great cricketing talents always have the ability to assess situations, play according to the need of the situation & switch modes to adjust accordingly.

| See in my opinion T20, test and ODI are three formats which test the ability of the player. See there are some players who have the ability to shine in these three formats but they are rare. Inconsistency in their form will make a major problem to their ability. When you take a player like Sachin Tendulkar his skill is about how class you should bat. His skills to judge the bowl is something that is special when you compare other people. In tests, the batsmen got the time to understand how to judge the bowl where to place the bat and how to play the drive. It gives them time to learn. While T20 is all power and muscles like Gayle, Pollard and Russel the strong West Indies team where they showed their ability to hit hard and make crowd enjoy cricket. But for sure I can say that these players who shine in T20 are not the best when they come to test and ODI. Where they need skill to bat and play a drive. Here batsmen like Sachin, Dravid, VVS, Lara, Ponting are the real masters. This proves the conclusion that T20 is not about judging or playing a stroke, one who play with power shines and ODI and test show that a class batsman is a king who can play with his foot and balance with his bat according to the line and length. But still the best players like Kohli, ABD, etc has shown they can even play any of these formats with their both skills and power. |

| In my point of view, T20 is certainly killing the spirit of the real game of cricket. People have no time to watch the test cricket which is a real display of class skill and temperament. Modern crickets are struggling to score in test matches. We have a good batsman is Dhoni in ODI and T20 but he retired in tests. Do you think he is not physically fit to play test cricket? Certainly not his inability to play in test cricket which is a real test of one's skill. Another scenario is Malinga a lethal bowler in the shorter format of the game. But retired in test cricket. Similar reasons. Only class bowlers like Murali, Warne, Kumble could show to the world they are real bosses. For the ones who say test cricket is all about boring. Then I would say they haven't watched the ashes clash, David's defences, masters blistering tons and sehwag's odi like test innings. Only world class players can bat/ball through all formats of the game. T20 might be nail biting but test cricket is class display. If you are a true cricket fan. You would love to see the cover drive of Sanga, a straight drive of Sachin, late cut of Mahela, solid defence of Dravid, and so on. |

| 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. |

Is that how you want weed to become ? weed is 'ganja' and yes, its become legal in some states in US and its coming for India too. (That is a different story). Finest tea of Darjeeling, Finest oranges of Nagpur, these never go into Indian mouths. They just get shipped abroad for the rich people. Why ? because you fed it to the businessmen. And then those men did what they do best with things, make money off them. Even if it means killing a few important morals and bare minimum patriotism. I mean, I'm not saying don't make money. I'm saying don't cross the line of decency to do it. Majority of 'the best quality' throughput should be for the growers and those who embrace that soil. Majorly exporting everything good isn't nice. And so don't let history repeat itself. Don't legalize weed. They are doing it so they can ruit it. They did it to cricket infront of you by bathing you with 20-20 cricket. Its being sold to you and are getting sold and you don't even know it. And then its too late. This is currently the transition period. We have to decide if it stays or it goes.

| Greetings, This format is meant for a twist in cricket. Many international series contain 1, 2 or 3 T20 matches along with test series and/or ODI series. They are like an opportunity, for e.g, in the India-Australia series. India couldn't pursue the ODI's. But Then they made a clean sweep against Australia in the T20s, which broke a 140-year-old record, that no team has clean sweeped Australia, against Australia, in Australia. So India ended up at no. 1 in T20's. Moreover, because its a shorter format of cricket, people can go and watch the matches live at the stadium, while one can't watch a whole test match for 4 days continuous! Last but not the least, T20 internationals and Domestic T20's like IPL, BBL etc. Have brought great attraction among youngsters and kids, while many adults and older people think that it's destroying Test Cricket, which is absolutely wrong! So, I think that T20's and T20 Is are one of the best formats of the sport. |

| 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. |

| Since in T20 things change very quickly, it forces players to not to become complacent in good situations which is the most important skill in cricket. Also, it requires high agility and fitness and so many young players are improving their fitness. Virat, De Villiers, Dhoni have some extraordinary skills. But the sad part is, it is a bit in the favour of batsmen so bowlers are now trying to be economical than attacking. But mature bowlers are developing new skills to tackle both problems examples are Malinga, Steyn, Broad. |

| I believe that T20 is not harming the pure tradition of cricket as we have seen that it actually helps the player train for the test matches. It requires more skills and strategy, more sense of the game and it tests the player to his best and show how much he can handle pressure. On the other hand people need to realize that that all these formats, whether its T20, 50 50 or test, are existing at the same time and the same team and same players play in these formats and they are versatile enough to adapt the these formats. And also ages before 50 50 replaced Tests and eventually people adapted that format and liked and now T20 is not only a major source of entertainment but also quick and short as people are really busy in their lives. Thus, T20 format has nothing to do with the destruction of 'traditional 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. |

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.

| To an certain extent T20 is having a great impact on test cricket. 5 years back you cannot see every test match finishing in 3 days or 4 days. Nowadays people like only entertainment. Players nowadays looks to score runs of every ball in test cricket. Yes you cannot stop players like Sehwags, Warners, Gilchrists, Gayles as they are playing their natural game. In olden days test cricket is all about technique and perseverance. But nowadays India is considering Rohit over Pujara. On technique based Pujara is far better than Rohit. Yes I agree Rohit can be destructive once he is set. But on a long term basis pujara should be considered over rohit. ICC is taking steps to make test cricket more interesting by conducting day-night matches but it is sad that we are not going to see the elegance and patience of Dravid, Laras, Kallis who can save a test match on their own. Because saving a test match is sometimes a greater achievement than winning a match. |
