Cricket is a nice sport introduced by the English people. There are two kinds of cricket matches.Test match and OneDay match or ODI.Test match is a time consuming version of cricket where a match is played for nearly 5 days.And every day 9 to 10 hours of play is taken place.As far as I know in todays world there is no such popular sport that takes so much time to end a match.For football we say it is played in a 90 minutes duration.And basketball,rugby,hockey etc are also are the from of short duration sport.Seeing the long duration of test match cricket Adolf Hitler banned playing criket in Germany.As poeple waste lot on time watching Test macth.And a Test match is not so exciting like a football match or rugby match. On the other hand another sort of cricket match namely One Day Internation or ODI is played in a short duration and it finishes within a day.Each team gets 50 overs to bat. And the people who watch it get lot of pleasure and excitement that it produces. Since Cricket is a sport and the main objective of a sport is to produce pleasure so I think everyone should rethink about Test Match Crikcet.And my personal opinion about it that - from now one only ODI be played and the era of test match should be terminated.

I totally agree with you that test cricket is too time consuming and in today's world no one has got the time to watch it. Instead of test matches one day matches are more fun. I didnt knew that Hitler banned the sport but what he did was right people can not waste that much of time and that should be done in today's world too. The new twenty twenty form of cricket has got more excitement than any other form and it finishes fast than a ODI thats superb. It takes just three hours to finish the game thats wonderful. Twenty Twenty Cricket is the future of this sport.
