When one day cricket was first introuduced everybody thought test cricket was in real danger of losing popularity. Over 35 years from that day, test cricket is still going strong. However, it is the ONE DAY matches which are in real danger of losing popularity. When the 20-20 world cup starts from september-11, it will also mark a new era of cricket. I have been one of the ardent follower of cricket for many years. However, suddenly I have started to like 20-20 more than one day matches. Mainly because almost all the 20-20 matches are very close and most of them are decided in the last over. Many people say 20-20 requires no skill and its only about slogging. However, even this theory have been proved wrong. Now almost all the cricket pundits believe 20-20 is a very skillful cricket. In this day and age when even international one day matches are played in empty stadiums, we have seen even a domestic 20-20 matches are being played in full houses. I for one is a full member of surrey 20-20 matches at the Oval Cricket ground. When the world cup starts at 11th of september, it will also be the BEGINING OF THE END OF ONE DAY MATCHES.
