Yesterday Aussie Skipper "Pointing" in a talk worried about the "TEST CRICKET". He told that it seems to him that the speciality of cricket (i.e. Test Match) is losing the interest from people and even the cricketers interest. According to him, cricketers are more diverted towards one days and specially towards 20 20 more. So is this seems to be the end of "test Cricket"?????

Ya man the era is changing and people are getting more attracted towards 20 20. But test match is the main format of cricket.

That what you expect from a person who is passionate about his cricket also in its purist form, nor he is wrong in saying that, its true that crowds are pulling away from longer formats of the game. I dont recall many sports which undergo so many changes in formats etc.

No doubt he is one of the great players of cricket but still the statement made by him was worth thinking of.. I too like his batting style and his captaincy
