I find it more interesting than 20/20 as the narrative has more time to dip and turn.<br /><br />The Aussies have been playing pretty safe cricket for a while now and they are learning that these mediocre totals won't do against decent teams. In some ways, I'm not sure that these losses are such a bad thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294436113842444659.post-22255537852798606412010-06-25T00:19:39.133-04:002010-06-25T00:19:39.133-04:00I know, everybody is looking for some formula thes...I know, everybody is looking for some formula these days. T20 formula, ODI formula, Test formula...and no one wants to take risks, play according to the situation at hand. The bloody Saffers are a big example. They didn't even TRY and get a result out of the last test!Purnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07406042181818223918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294436113842444659.post-43092616574660893182010-06-24T06:38:37.691-04:002010-06-24T06:38:37.691-04:00Tha man is absolutely right.

Also, don't change the format of the game to try and get more people watching, if you play good cricket they will come.<br /><br />For example, some say tests are too long and boring yet it is always difficult to get Ashes tickets at either end of the world and when the match goes to a 5th day the queues to get in are enormous - this is because everyone knows it will always be a good match.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
