Cricket Web: All-Time Legend
I think Test cricket is the best sport there is - ‘that beautiful, beautiful game that is battle and service, and sport and art’ captivated me in childhood and has never let go. List A/ODI never had the same hold,but I was young when it started, and adaptable, and was always prepared to watch it and take an interest. T20 though I hated when it came in, so much so that up until about five years ago I almost never watched it, even if England or Lancashire were playing, and didn’t really think of it as cricket. But slowly it has worked its way into my enjoyment of the game, mainly I think because a format that started as one only about batsmen is now a proper battle between bat and ball. Other than when work commitments have prevented it I have watched every single game in this year’s World Cup and enjoyed it immensely
Anyway my question is two fold - are there any others who have been won over by T20 over the last 13 years, and the opposite - has the shortest format drawn anyone in to Test cricket who previously had no interest in?
