Which is going to lose - A Grand survey

This is a continuation and extension from the previous post.

After reading and hearing from various experts,bloggers and assorted other non entities, i decided to do a grand survey about which form of cricket is going to lose. Tests/ODIs/T20s - who is going to be the biggest loser. So i conducted a grand survey consisting of me and huh only me. Sorry i dont have any1 in vicinity to ask their opinion. So far a moment i want to consider myself as the ultimate authority on cricket. Ok back to the survey.

As iam not in India, for the past 15 months i have been restricted to see cricket in pay TV or dodgy streams in internet. With respect to india, i have to pay a fortune to see cricket live in TV, so resticted myself to tournaments which im more interested in. Watching in Pay TV is heaven without ads and all, which deserves a post in itself.

My sojourn of pay TV started with IPL, then to WC T20s. Then i proceeded with the test series against Srilanka and SA and now IPL again. Out of all these, i didnt subscribe to any ODI/T20 series played by india, heck even i didnt watch ICC champions trophy. I missed many important moments in India's ODI history last year but i didnt feel much. Now im not sure whether i will subscribe WCT20s as it is happening in WI which will be live when i sleep.

So overall from the survey, i can come to a conclusion that ODI will be the first to move out of the family. Maybe if it was available free, who knows? But still i will not be so eager to watch, as ODI is available a dime a dozen. What about the WC? hmm.. i think i will watch.

  1. Kanda, great to see you on here! I look forward to your cutting reviews of games!

    ODIs are in risk of extinction, agreed, unless some innovative changes to the formats are made.
