Question

Should 20 20 cricket be abolished as more players become unavailble due to other committments?

Answer 1

No way. We can go for replacements. And more over all the people know their schedules and then only thay have taken those players from auction.

So this is good. This will create more thiong s during the play.

Answer 2

I do not think so. I was not in favour of T20 when we first heard of it. But as I see it, I find it generates a lot of employment as well. The details are there for all to see.

Mainly, a lot of cricketers, good or bad, are getting exposed to the World and are playing with the best in the field. It will remove the frustration of not being there in THE 11.

Besides we can see them perform; so next time selectors say they are or aren't good, there is some proof.

Cricket is a great game with a great variety. Test being the main. 20x20 is only a small part just now. It may replace ODI, but Test Cricket will stay.

Players will always be available. There are so many in the World. Retired and active. It is just the game the people will ultimately need. Not the faces. Money will draw them. And they will continue to entertain.

Answer 3

just noway.

Answer 4

even if players aren't all going to be playing twenty 20 all the time, it is still a really good way to get entertainment, it doesent go for too long so younger people can go to it without getting tired, so i dont think it ill be abollished

Answer 5

no t20 criccket is based on passion and entertainment because of no big names the cricket should not be abolished this would be an insult for the game this way more youngsters will get a chance and maybe give rise to some new stars

Answer 6

no way...............its players another version of cricket.So IPL rocks

Answer 7

NO!! this happens in  SOCCER all the time  

in the English  premier league alot of African players leave every year  to play in the African nations cup and it doesn't affect the PL  

except some teams like Bolton who have about six or seven African players leave they may lose a couple of games

in any case other nations will become availabl like Pakistan

and England may be next year

Answer 8

No

Answer 9

I am guessing the real question is whether 20/20 will survive if the better known players cannot keep up with the schedules of all the three (known) form of crickets.

Any sport becomes more interesting if there are good players on either sides - granted. Yet, it is also true that the skill level required to play a specific form of cricket is quite different. There will always be players (the "great"s) that can fit into any of the three formats, but generally speaking, the person who can hit the ball hard in a placid wicket easily, may not be the right person to survive penetrating bowling on a green-top or on a turner.

So, eventually, from the game's point of view - it is quite possible that a cricket team will have to field a different team for each format of the game. That will bring more cricketers on the field and each format will have the best of the lot - most suitable for the type of game that format demands.

Another thing that drives a sport is the passion from us, yes the fans. When we show interest and start attending the games - businesses take interest, more money comes into the system and that drives more fans to get their kids get into the system - as player or otherwise. The entire cycle helps the sport and all gets their money's worth. It's win-win-win for all.

What is interesting though, that it is quite possible that the cricket fan who thinks "Test" cricket is and best may not be the person who would think "20/20" cricket is more interesting. And they don't have to think that way in order for any of the formats to survive. Just like the specialist cricketers, each format of the game can (and will) have it's own core fan-base. There are LOTs of people out there who are looking for "fun".

So, any specific format of cricket will survive when there are Players playing them with great passion AND there are fan following the game and the players. Money will just follow the "interest"s.

So, yes, 20/20 can still go on with lesser participation from the current Tast/ODI superstars, in the long run. Eventually, it will give us it's own new starts.. then that's the future.

As I see it.
