So did slaves ... here we are, slave free. Just cause something existed X amount of years ago doesn't mean it will keep on continuing. Hard core cricket fenatic who loves test is way less than casual fans who goes to the stadium for couple of hours to enjoy a match or has only maybe that amount of time to watch on tv - you know where advertisers gives money to the TV broadcasters. Money is drying up for test anyways ... also apart from IND/AUS/ENG and NZ (and maybe SA) who really is good at test anyways? No one wants to see one team pilling up runs after runs for 2-3 days while the other team gets knocked out 2 times in about 1-2 days. 

senai tests are great. i'd like to see only those.

CT should be #2. No easy games. One bad loss and you can be out of the tournament in league stage itself. 

[singhvivek141]

For me

1. ODI WC

2. BGT

3. Away Test series vs England, NZ, SA

4. T20 WC

5. WTC

6. Champions Trophy

7. Other Test series

 

I am bit more biased towards Tests, coz I feel that's one format which separates men from boys. It tests your skill as well as mental strength.

 

Where you will see a guy like AB scoring 49 of 200 something deliveries just to save a test (when we know that guy can score 100 in 30 balls).

 

Even if you score 5 sixes in a over, if you get out on 6th delivery...bowler has won the battle. Thats not the case in ODI & T20's.

We are quite the team in ODIs and T20s. No one seems even close. Just like WI of the 1500s and Australia of the late 90s/ early 2000s.

 

My order of preference:

1)WC ODI

(huge gap)

2)IPL

3)T20 WC

4)CT

(the entire cosmos)

5)Test WC

6) Other test series/ bilateral tournaments

Well that's your take you can have have it but the fact remains test series wins against good sides away are by far the hardest assignments in cricket - over 140+ years of tests & how many series won by Asian sides in Oz & SA? I place a test series win in Oz equally as important/better than WC triumph even though the WC makes a lot more money!

For me the deciding factors are ... 

 

 

1)  Needs a really high quality and mentally strong team to win this Cup / Series. Weak teams can't win by fluke or luck.

 

....  ODI WC and Away Test series in Australia and India need really strong teams to win these.

 

 

2)  The prestige and fan interest of this event.

 

.... ODI WC, T20 WC and test series among India, Australia, England score high.

 

.... WTC Final, CT score lower due to this. 

 

.... Test series against weaker teams score really low due to this.

 

.... Test series in NZ score lower due to this as Asian fans, huge in number, are asleep during this event and fan interest is low.

 

 

3)  Teams fighting against "alien " conditions score higher. 

 

.... Away test series score highest and Away ODI Cups come after this. 

 

 

4)  Frequency of this event .... Events which happen less frequently but happen regularly score higher. 

 

.... T20 WCs would have scored higher if they happened every 4 years instead of 2.

 

 

5)  There are no un-natural factors affecting the event.

 

.... The WTC final happens in England every time and not by rotation. This helps England and NZ a lot and Australia and SA more than Asian teams. This takes away from the value of these teams winning the WTC.

 

 

6)  The gamble factor is lower.

 

.... T20 WC scores lower due to this. Even weaker teams have won.

Thread is about ICC tournaments so keep tests out of it. Regarding test series wins, a test series win in australia is as good an ODI WC win.

[Tillu]

Getting Olympic Gold medal should also be a top priority for us from the next Olympics.

[JazzyB]

I know this is ICC but overall i think this is the order

 

1. 50 over world cup

2. IPL - fact star players pull put of other tournaments like CT or T20 WC to get fit and ready for IPL is proof in itself e.g. cummins starc etc

3. test championship

4. SENA wins

5. Olympic gold 

6. T20 WC

 

Champions Trophy is one of the last given lack of consequence

[putrevus]

World t20 happens so frequently it has very little value, how is it different from IPL.Both are there to provide money for longer formats.

Not really my take ... that's where cricket is heading. Test cricket will become super exclusive or dissapear (or be shorten further). 
Also, aside from the super cricket nerds, like most of us, no one really cares much about test cricket wins. It's all about the WC and ICC trophies.

[R!TTER]

I mean if we're being brutally honest IPL is the biggest tournament in the world, the numbers/dollars prove it. There's an alternate school of thought where conditions, skills & yes time is a factor in gauging the "quality" of cricket, in that ODI shows us a much better/broader range with test being above that. If you are a fan of watching different passages of play, within the same game, with overcoming conditions as a major theme then tests cannot be surpassed. It's like being a casual wine drinker vs an aficionado. To that I'd also say I haven't seen a cricket fan who doesn't like tests, they might not love it but they do enjoy the quality of cricket provided the pitches are good. But that number maybe dwindling because I'm definitely not in touch with teenagers/college goers who are the next gen of cricket fans.

From 28, Olympic gold will be right up there. Maybe not so much for SENA countries, but for us since we are a medal starved country. Only 2 Olympic golds since most of us were born, and now the most populous country in the world, have to target Olympic golds instead of just bronze medals and 4th place certificates. 

[Bigg Brother]

Only ODI WC matters. Rests are just meh  CT is the most useless tourney. 

[Frustrated]

If we take the CT out of equation, then teams like SA and NZ hv nothing to show for.   (Yes, NZ hv atleast grabbed 1 WTC recently.  SA hv been *****)
