Too slow paced Slogfests r to b the way fwd, atttract those who generally lose interest the quickest, exclude those who stick around the longest. Just when England are starting to make test cricket enjoyable again, T20 is looking ok as the main short form, look the man in marketing fearing for his job comes up w another pointless comp to wear out the best players & give the bin juice a run out!
Coming soon... heads or tails cricket. Guess right when the umpire tosses the coin and you win. Just imagine the tactics, statistical analysis, the high drama of that one moment where it's winner takes all, slow motion replays of the spinning coin. For the traditionalists there's a longer form of the game called best of three.
You forgot to take into count the weight of the coin, whether heads or tails is on top, the force of the toss which creates a number of revolutions and most importantly the hardness of the hard whether it bounces or just plops into the softer surface.
It's so insulting that they constantly say it's "for new fans". If you can't appreciate the beauty of a Test match without getting bored, find another sport.
Coming soon - T10, boundary rope moved to mid om/off, bowlers bowl underarm whilst wearing boxing gloves, batsmen failing to hit 6 every shot are put on a ducking stool, batsmen hitting shots into next time zone will win their own island and a team of staff unicorns. Bring your own kits.
