Re: Twenty20 will finish Pakistan cricket - Mohammad Yousuf
I played golf as well with company execs. But unfortunately, I never bothered with it again. I even took classes back then, got my kit of clubs, etc. But when I played, I hated it. Stupid 18 holes take a whole day and at the end all you have is a little tally card showing whose ahead. I mean any reasonably sane person can putt, so its just who did it in the least strokes.
It is a game of the rich and famous. Cricket is for everyone.
Coming back to the point of Test cricket.
I think Test cricket has a life and it will mutate a bit though. There will be changes made to make it more interesting. ICC is already planning those.
The US and other (china) will be big on cricket and it will become more international. Unlike baseball, which has a world league only played in the americas. Cricket is already an international sport.
So shorter versions of cricket will probably take off first, but as soon as people will see the longer version in those new markets, they will definitely want it as well.
However, it seems 5 day tests may not exist in another 10 years. Lets see.
