For a sub reddit which apparently loves Test Cricket, there seems to be a severe lack of understanding on the fundamental difference between Test Cricket (time limit cricket) and ODI/T20 (Limited overs cricket).
I say this because I proposed an idea for discussion on having a One-Day Time Limited match and a some of the responses have been “so just an odi then” or “boring odi”.
Test isn’t just different from odi because it’s 5 days versus 1 day. The idea that wickets need to be taken to win the match and the possibility of a draw if that doesn’t happen fundamentally changes the match and the strategy.
This is why odi/t20 are seen as a batsmen’s game (where it’s how many runs you can score given an equal number of overs) versus Test cricket where it’s the bowlers who win you the match and taking wickets is the key and protecting wickets is so important.
I hope the above doesn’t come across as condescending, which was not my intention. I have only written this for those who be new to cricket or those who don’t fully understand the difference between the two formats.
