How should test cricket be preserved
The young people especially the teenagers who want to become cricketers are the future for Indian cricket. Around the world the ashes which is coming to it's finish point is the only test cricket happening. Apart from that all the other cricket format are T 20 and ODI. The audience does have so much time to watch test cricket but if there is an epic battle going on nobody want to miss the action. In India the stadiums in ODI and T 20 are full but in test it is not as full as comapre to these two format. Test cricket is the real format where the patience of bowler and technique of batsman on seaming pitches are tested.
With the advent of IPL the batsman are used to slog and play innovate strokes, and other T 20 tournaments in different countries. I think the best way to preserve the test cricket is to make a good pitch giving the bowler and batsman a chance. The weaker teams must be also given a chance to show their talent to the world. The dead pitches with no life should be avoided. The champions league which consists the top domestic teams from Inda, South Africa, Australia, Newzeland, Sril Lanka has attracted so many audiences.
I think the ICC must see to that test cricket along with ODI and T 20 format must stay and see that in test cricket the audiences must come and see some great cricket. The test championship to be held in 2017 is a good idea because like the world cup and T-20 world cup it will be best way to gain the attention of audience.
The likes of Jacques kallis, Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Ricky Pointing all these have succeded in test cricket and regarded one of finest player of test cricket. I think now the likes Rahane, Dhawan, Raina, Dhoni have done well in India but the real tests lies when they will play South Africa and other countries where the conditions are seaming friendly.
I think the teenagers must be taught to bat under difficult conditions and get a feel of it. This would help them to be become a more established batsman. The patience of the bowlers in test matches is tested because a particular bowler in ODI bowls 10 overs and T-20 4 overs but in test matches a bowler has to take care of his fitness and build stamina to bowl out a side twice.
In the recent past there have some excllent test matches which have gone to the last session of the 5th day. The best format is that Test playing nations must play at least 3 test matches.
