Rank your favorite type of cricket
Rank the different forms of cricket in order from most enjoyable (to you) to least enjoyable. Lots of debate on the issue currently, and I'd like to get people's opinions.

Test cricket - Better than what I imagine sex to be like
Twenty20 - Thrilling little thing, isnt it? ODI - Still enjoy watching it, but I prefer the otehrs To Be Honest What about super 6's?

1.Test cricket - because it fluctuates so much. You can score 551 in first innings and still lose.
2.20/20 - great fun. Too short to be boring even if one-sided. 3.ODIs - brilliant when eciting, the problem is when team batting first scores too many (or too few!) and the match is a formality (Jo'burg 2006 not withstanding)

Tests are the daddy.
Twenty20 is what ODIs should have been. Nothing more irrelevant to me than ODI cricket. Im sure people love them as they have grown up around them and are accustomed to them, and Im sure they hold a particular charm to many. However, they dont do anything well. Test is the real deal and 2020 the aggressive type. ODI a poor mish mash of both

Tests are indeed The Daddy.
There's very little in the sporting world that compares to a Test where, going into the final session, either side can win, having slugged it out mightily for almost 5 days. For example, the 2005 Ashes was like having three Ryder cups in the space of two months. After Tests, I still like ODIs. I don't like Twenty20 slogfests.

For me it's more a case of Tests=ODIs > Twenty20, but I voted Tests > ODIs > Twenty20 because if push-came-to-shove, I'd probably rather a good 5\6-Test series to a good World Cup. I don't remotely enjoy Twenty20, perhaps because it was invented after my love of the game of cricket was already established. Had it been invented in, say, 1991, things might be different. On the other hand, they might not.

Tests, then daylight, then ODIs. Then there is a chasm equivalent to the gulf between distant galaxies. Then 20/20.
