T20 is not cricket, pollard cannot be called a cricketer

Back to my favourite topic – Cricket . Cricket is the most popular game in india. Every Indian has played cricket atleast once in his/her life. The game has transformed leaps and bounds from the 19^th century till today. From test cricket to 60 over ODI’s to the current 50 over ones to the latest form twenty20 . people have their own opinions on the different forms of the game, but for me test cricket is the best cricket and twenty20 is just shit cricket.

The longest version of the game has stayed for hundreds of years. Earlier, it was a dream for a cricketer to play a test match for the country. Today, the current generation players – the stupid asses dream to play in the IPL. All they want is money. They don’t respect the game, they don’t have any self respect or respect for their talent. And even the board especially the BCCI supports them, the reason being obvious again – money. All the hype about the IPL is only for money, nothing else, absolutely nothing else.

A test match takes the real test of a player with regard to his skill, practice, stamina, talent, patience, it is the ultimate test of his playing ability and endurance in the game. Look at the current Indian team, except a few players, none of them stand up to the big stage, be it Suresh Raina or Ravindra Jadeja or Pragyan Ojha or the worst of them all Ashish Nehra… none of them have match winning abilites . The current Indian team sucks. It actually doesn’t matter to me because for me cricket starts and ends with Sachin Tendulkar. But there are a billion other people who want the Indian team to perform well. How can these players perform at the international stage if they are selected from the IPL ? Players like Tendulkar, Dravid, Laxman, Ganguly, Dhoni came into the Indian team only after playing years of first class test cricket, and the results show. All of them are extremely successful in all three formats of the game. Will a Suresh Raina or a Ravindra Jadeja or a Virat Kohli ever play a test match for India?

T20 does not showcase a player’s real talent. Anything can happen in the 20 overs, its all about luck. How good cricketer a player is can be judged only from the real game- test cricket. ODI’s are also good as an entertainment, but twenty20 should be banned. T20 is acting like poison for the other two forms of the game, but I am sure that test cricket will, poison which attracts people. But I am sure that this form wont last for long . Test matches will be back.
