Its not about what we agree on. Its more about what our next generation will like. We have grown up watching and admiring test cricket...we will keep loving it. But our next generation might find T20 and ODIs better than test cricket.

BCCI will not allow ODIs to die. ODIs are better revenue generator than T20s More air time - more ad revenue. But I am truely worried about test cricket. ICC must have some strong policy to keep test cricket alive. This 7ODI and 2-test trend is very dangerous.
