For those in a hurry, there is always the one day, 50 overs per side variant, which has its own dynamic...

Then there is 20/20, which is a slug fest, for those that like that sort of thing...

Having watched some 20/20, I am now of the opinion that 50 overs is actually quite a strategic variant of cricket. But test cricket remains the "grand master" version.

Oh yes, definitely. But the others can be good to watch at times...

As a fan of South Australian cricket i've grown quite fond of 20/20 and 50 overs cricket it seems it gives the lads less scope to royally fuck things up and lose hence us winning the competition for both in recent past and yet haven't won the sheffield shield since my sister was 1 years old.

Go the redbacks/strikers! :cheer:

Anyhoo i like both baseball and cricket so i will be neutral on this subject.

The Pope was today knocked down at the start of Christmas mass by a woman who hopped over the barriers. The woman was said to be, "Mentally unstable."

Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.
