Question

Why is it that bits & pieces of players may succeed in 50 over games but not in tests or 20-20?

Answer 1

they are different formats...

TEST is the real cricket and it is real cricket... it tests you to the most...

while 20-20 is quick thinking and quick everything...swing no time to settle

they are different formats of cricket...

on the other hand some players are more comfortable with a format and struggle to adopt to differnet styles of the match...

Answer 2

I think you want to say pits and pieces  players are more successful in limited format of the game (T20 and ODI) as compared to Test Cricket

It is more a concentration thing to display your talent for a period of 5 days means the ultimate test of endurance for any cricketer!
