I know youre all a little slow on CW, So I will just tell you now it was sarcasm. Anyone who agreed with that first post is what I imagine a lunatic would be.

I'm gonna tell everyone my dirty little secret....

I actually like all forms of the game, as I suspect most people who're sufficiently interested in the sport to join a site dedicated to it do.

Anyway, tests are definitely where it's at; the purest form of the sport &, uniquely in major team sports, unfold not over a couple of hours but over days. Something one doesn't so much experience as inhabit.

WRT the two shorter forms, I personally lean towards 20/20. The arguments for & against have been fairly well rehearsed, but essentially it cuts out those unpleasant, starchy overs between 15-40 (or thereabouts in these days of three powerplays) where the game tends to drift somewhat. I know some people defend these on the grounds that they form part of more of a genuine contest between bat-and-ball than we see in 20/20s, but that's really a strength of test (& FC) cricket, not ODIs. 20/20's strengths are its own, the case made for ODIs is really that they more closely mimic the longer format.

I have never seen an international 20/20 so can't comment on that.

I must say that wasn't exactly the sort of answer I was expecting from even the most eccentric of posters...
