Any cricket fanatics out there ?

ICC has accepted twnety twenty format whereby 20 overs are played by a side against 50 otherwise in one day match. There are some field restrictions as well on lines of one day match.

What are your views on this format ? Do you feel, this is just to make cricket more interesting ? Will it affect test cricket ?

I feel, this format will only make it harder for a test cricket. test cricket lasts for 5 days and its a tough game. it gets boring as well. Twenty twenty format, a shorter version of one day internatinoal will bring in more entertainment for crowd but also affect their interest in test cricket over period of time. Now that people will be able to enjoy it in say 3-3/2 hrs, so they would see a 5 day match as boring. Cricket has always been batmen game and this format will only add to bowlers agony.
