Personally I'm not a big fan of ODIs. As Ern suggests, there is real cricket. For me, that is test cricket. However, there always needs to be a way of attracting new faces to the game. Twenty20 is filling that role, and I think it's OK for that.

However, despite my personal views, I know that many people enjoy ODIs more than me. They are particularly popular with Asian fans, and we always get big crowds to the ODIs at Edgbaston when England are playing Pakistan or India. So the ODIs clearly still have a role to play, even if I'm not all that bothered about them myself.
