2010-2019 what will happen?

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Test cricket to end on 21st December 2012.

Combined with my prediction, we'll be left with ODI cricket alone by 2014.

Assuming he's implying everything will cease to exist given the date mentioned was Dec 21 2012

Got that, but read it more figuratively anyway. I'd probably have to follow curling or something similarly suicidal if Test cricket died.

So hard to predict. Who would have thought back in the year 2000 that the next decade would see the rise of a revolutionary new format of the game, batsman would dominate like never before and the new team Bangladesh would find almost zero success despite ten years exposure to Test cricket.

Who knows what may come next. 10/10 contests? Test matches played between USA and Canada? Cricketer's who can demand more money that the GDP of a small African nation?

Cricket administrators had been chasing that since well before 2000, though. Remember Super 8's in Malaysia and then in domestic cricket in the mid/late 90's?

Yea plus NZ lead by Martin Crowe had cricket-max in the late 90s..
