If test match cricket crowds dropped because of increasing crowds in t20 do you think this is a positive for cricket overall
Would you like t20 to be the most prestigious, valued form of cricket
I agree with all of your points.
1. A generation with no interest in test cricket? Maybe, but some of them will no doubt be converted. At least that's what you would want/hope. There are even a whole bunch of adults I know that will watch t20 that won't watch a test match
2. Certainly not, but I don't believe at this point it has had as detrimental effect on the game of cricket than some would like to believe. At least in Australia. Not saying that couldn't change, needs to be a balance. I reckon that balance is almost perfect in Aus at the moment, in West Indies and India most likely not.
3. One again no way, but I don't see why it shouldn't be as valued as one day cricket for instance. Test is and always will be the pinnacle for me and most of us.
