My only worry about all this shortened versions of the game is that real cricket, the 5 day test version, becomes a casulty.
The short game has developed its own skills set, I would be the first to aknowledge that, but I believe the test format is just that, the ultimate test of a cricketers ability and concentration.Years ago I would have said the same but not anymore, I like the short game but there again football is my sport if England were playing a test and a Villa friendly was being played I'd be watching the Villa.
Would be interesting to see how many test match fans actually watch the t20 or the 100 and Visa versa
I know couldn't sit through 5 days of a test even now I have the time, I can watch this short stuff every night
Just been reading that the players and others connected to the 100 having been getting online abuse following the opening games..........
Was on msn.com cricket 365.
It did'nt say mate. I am just lost for words.Bet it was largely twitter.
The world needs to come off that place!
It was fixed. Even Ben Stokes said whats the point of playing on a wicket in a competition like this where a team struggle to make 87.
Moeen out........Well it was a different sort of test for sure , but batters should be able to adapt to the vagaries of the wicket. 87 wasn't a par score , 110- 120 would have been a decent score and Phoenix should have set out to get that .
Yep the women made 113 and they couldn't reach the boundary and they won easily in the endWell it was a different sort of test for sure , but batters should be able to adapt to the vagaries of the wicket. 87 wasn't a par score , 110- 120 would have been a decent score and Phoenix should have set out to get that .

Yes was a good game and Ben Stokes insisting that ball was bowled again and then missing the catch on on the boundary.Terrific game last night. Really enjoyed that one.
