Crookbond Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 https://twitter.com/brydoncoverdale/statuses/266787260408684544 The crowd here at the Gabba is 25,114 - the biggest attendance the venue has ever had for a day of non-Ashes Test cricket #ausvsa Yes- Test cricket is dying. :phehehe:
Old guy Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 average crowd at ipl venues ? even lowest one would be more then this
Old guy Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 ^ You can't compare one-on-one. why ? ofc test cricket is still very popular but t20 is taking over and most of people atleast in india prefer t20 and odis to tests im just gonna ask u this will cricket survive and keep growing without shorter formats? i dont think so ...tests now cannot survive on there own but yes they are still big deal and most cicketers themselves want to do well in tests but no of tests are already decreasing how many tests have lankans canceled to include more t20's i specifically gave example of lankans bcos they have money problems...:giggle:
Crookbond Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 Read Saurav01's post 52,56 - you will understand why it doesn't make sense to compare one on one.
Old guy Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 Read Saurav01's post 52' date='56 - you will understand why it doesn't make sense to compare one on one.[/quote'] im not gonna read posts of guy who was probably high while typing them :giggle:
BeautifulGame Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 25 thousand the highest Gabba ever had for no Ashes test match. But they packed to full capacity record crowd of 40,000 in the first T20 international vs Sa in 2006 itself. And i thought Aussies prefer Test cricket to T20
Crookbond Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 :hmmm: 3 hours of cricket versus 35 hours of cricket. Same, no? :woot:
Old guy Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 :hmmm: 3 hours of cricket versus 35 hours of cricket. Same' date=' no? :woot:[/quote'] good point but for sponsors more people watching game at shorter time is better no ? also question is is test cricket losing popularity compared to before? comparing it with other formats is point less it will be dying if it was less popular compare to lets say 10 years ago ..i dont know in india its little less popular my friends dont care about it.. in england itss still very popular,australia just had record ticket sales no ? and in south africa i dont know but from looks of it cricket is growing :D other countries who gives a shyte :P
Crookbond Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 No - if given a choice media agencies would always prefer longer slots. Test cricket is quite profitable; you may disagree but that is the truth.

Crookbond Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 yes but thats where tournaments like ipl come in... its tamasha for almost 2 months! Still does not make enough money. Check the number of playing days of Test cricket in a year versus IPL cricket. Simple math mate, simple math.
