Slog Pujara, Hoick it, cmon cowlash it Puj!

Tests are harder and ultimate form of cricket and require more skills ..no one is called great unless he does well in tests just look at yuvi or Raina ..

No, you have not been paying attention to what has been said. Tests are not harder. It is just a different skillset. If tests were harder, a good test batsmen like Clarke or Pujara should easily be able to handle T20s. But, that is not the case. That is because they do not possess the skillsets for T20. Personal opinions do not make facts. It is hilarious to see test fans trying to put their opinions higher because their favorite format is among the minority fanbase.

Pujara isn't good enough to play in the Best form of cricket :beee:

No talk about the pitches? According to your logic, playing in Perth/headingley in a test match is the same as playing in Bangalore phatta in a t20 match

Yes, it needs a much superior skill sets compared to the circus format. At least the likes of Pujara and Clarke can manage their way to a 50 at a SR of 100 in the circus format, meanwhile most of the T20 specialists struggle to survive 10 balls in Test. Personal opinion do no make facts, but an opinion of the majority do. Put up a poll on this and we will see the outcome for ourselves.

Sachin tendulkar sucks because his t20 record was not as good as test :cantstop:

A 50 at the SR of 100 is not what is needed in T20. So, it is irrelevant trying to use that as a measure of success. The point is that there are people who are good in both and some who are good in one format. Neither is greater or tougher than the other. Put up a poll among all cricket fans in India and see what majority thinks.

Using your logic to arrive at this conclusion.

That is exactly what i said about you not understanding the point and trying to post something with that ignorance. My point was that T20 needs a different skillset than tests - neither skillset can be considered superior to the other. It is just different. Sachin not performing in T20 does not make him bad in tests. Maxwell not performing in tests does not make him bad in T20s. Each has their own comfort zone and they perform in that comfort zone.

Your hairbrained logic is ignorance at best. You don't take the pitch conditions into account, where tests are played. In t20, batting is much easier and as we have seen far, bowlers can be replaced by bowling machines. According to you, opening in t20s on Phattas is equivalent to opening at grounds like Perth, Johannesburg, and Lord's.

Not trying to understand a simple point and trying to rant based on that. Pitch conditions matter to both T20s and tests. A flat-track specialist in T20 can also fail in a pace-oriented track in Australia. Same specialists who perform well in a pace-oriented pitch fail in a spin-heavy pitch. This applies to both tests and T20s equally and hence irrelevant to the point I am making.

Your point is based on the assumption that batting conditions in t20s and tests are the same, which is false. T20s are more often than not Phattas, especially in India. Pray tell how else a team can hit scores of around 120-140(that's the lower estimate) in 20 overs. That's 6-7 runs an over. It doesn't matter where t20s are situated. It's quite clear to any fan which format favors the batsman

[Debutant]

There is risk of getting out in every ball in a T20 as you have to score at a very fast rate. On the other hand you can just take your blanket and sleep in the pitch in tests :asleep:

[DarthSimian]

Or in bowling, you can bowl many bad balls in test, go a bit relaxed and can still go scot free. But, in T20, you have to be on your toes all the balls you bowl and not afford to bowl any bad balls. That doesn't mean T20 skills are better or test skills are better. It just says what is required in T20s or what is required in tests.

So much bs right there Sorry but u can have ur opinion about what you like more but test cricket is hardest form of cricket without any dispute and people who have played cricket at any professional level agree From your posts it's clear you do not even understand it properly and it's not for you but skill requirement specially in bowling is much higher Great Sunil narine cannot buy a wicket there but bullies everyone in t20 :giggle:

[Debutant]

We have seen bowlers in test matches, bowlers specially spinners bowling negative line a lot. They will just keep on bowling way outside the leg stump from round the wicket and the batsman will keep on kicking :asleep: These kind of cowardice is not allowed in the Best form of cricket. Here only brave hearts succeed :bigboss:

[Debutant]

Great Test bowler Swann could get an IPL contract ever in his life :phehehe:

It's too wide umpire calls it wide or dead ball

[Old guy]

Great Test bowler Swann could get an IPL contract ever in his life :phehehe:

Because he is English and he is not great test bowler In that format greatness means actually great cricketers not some one who performed in few seasons and then fade away Bhaji cannot find place in Indian team but even captained one of the biggest ipl team so let's not even go there Great rohit sharma,uthappa etc are always ready here to bully but cannot touch ball in test
