Are you falling in love with test cricket once again?

[fineleg]

Why again? Always in love with Test cricket, the real form of the game and the ultimate test.

 

ODIs are ok, T20s are sorta tamasha, and for every IPL there is a @Mariyam :)

no not one hour now.

She said she never liked it. I wonder if last two years have changed her mind

[Shunya]

never lost interest...even when India was loosing badly on away tours, I had watched every single game like a fan...it was heartbreaking to see all legends falling one by one...but it was still worth a watch...

england, australia are very entertaining opponents in my eyes and will always continue to be so...

yeah I'm also missing all those centuries and match winning knocks Dhoni used to hit overseas and his astute captaincy to boot.

Test cricket is a true test of skill, technique and temperament simply because it requires teams to be competitive over multiple days. It is a format for those who enjoy the tactical and strategic side of the game. LOIs is catered for more casual fans. 

 

With regards to the OP, definitely enjoying this new 'Bhaad Me Jaa' style of Test cricket. This side has a lot of resilience, and it comes from the leader.

A needed dynamism given the latter stages of Dhoni's captaincy.

Test cricket is the best.I don't care about LOIs anymore unless it's a big series or WC.

Not really ...True love is when India performs well outside subcontinent.

Always loved Test Cricket since I started watching, even when we were getting whitewashed, although during the whitewashing days, I would turn off the TV when we were bowling and only watch the batting 

[Cricketics]

I do not know what to vote as I never really lost any interest. Have always been a crazy fan of 5 days. Just the thought of "whats going ro happen now" after stumps on every test day gets me going. Even the first drawn test had so much going on.

 

Test cricket needs to be minimum and not a lot. 10 games per year per team is fine as we have to ensure we are broadcasting more cricket where people are turning up to watch in the stadium. Sadly, test cricket is not that. But 10 test matches per team is enough and should be advertised well and I am sure it will continue to survive.

Again would probably be a wrong word. 

I have always loved indian cricket no matter what. 

Before it was the superstars and then dhoni phase to see what he will do next. 

Currently its Bhuvi Shami ashwin kohli who i keep following to see what they will do next and how they will perform next.

+1. Me too. The bowling that time was super depressing.

Isn't Saha making up for that? Or wait was it Parthiv?

Given enough time they might. After all, Dhoni got a long, long, long run before people started criticizing him. We wouldn't know till we give people chances right? Now since Rahul is not scoring every match should we compare with Sachin?

[Mosher]

Always loved test cricket. Though the interest started to wane when we got the drubbing overseas. But now things are looking up again with Kohli at the helm.

[tweaker]

I always liked test cricket .i have watch test through all lows & high.Iam now really looking to watch it under Kohli ' s captaincy.

I like to see youngsters play & want to watch the debut of Hardik,Kuldeep,Shreyas,Rishabh,Nathu in the future.

Saha has had 2 years already. How much more time? And with the bat Dhoni deserved his spot in the side when he started out in tests.
