e.g. the Big bash is a good innovation but over scheduled and to the detriment and inhibitive to red ball cricket it becomes it can kill the golden goose.

Refreshing to hear the ultra funny Kerry Okeefe during a break
I reckon Kerry is almost as funny as Lightning Mqueen and Locky801

I disagree about T20 killing test cricket. In the major countries test crickets popularity is as a good as ever. Its really on SAF, WIN and SL where test cricket is struggling.
Look at India's progression as a test playing nation since the creation of the IPL. They have come on in leaps and bounds.
I also question what test crowds would look like if it wasn't for T20 being the introduction to cricket for children. I know in my household my partner and 2 older children only have a passion for test cricket after learning and understand the game via t20.
Yeah its getting scheduled at the wrong time in Australia but realistically we are still the number 2 nation in the world (if it wasn't for over rate penalties) so our on field performance hasn't been that hampered by the introduction of t20.
Some of the best test matches in recent history eg India run chase against us and Stokes run chase against us don't happen if t20 was never formed.

Imagine the uproar on here if Alex Carey got out like Pant did. India 6 down with a lead of 157. Pitch offering plenty. India to win from here.
