You all aware that the World of Cricket community is organizing a contest series, one contest per week. Last week, we announced our 6th contest, World of Cricket Contest Series | Contest - 6 :: Which is your favorite cricket format?. There are 6 participants this week also.
We all know that at the beginning of Cricket, there were only Test Cricket. But by the time pass by, people became busy and they had not much time to watch Test Cricket. And that's where Limited Over Cricket Formats Were Introduced. But still, The Spirit of Cricket is with Test Cricket.
If you like arts, the art of ground sports is without a doubt, is test cricket. Why I say, to create good piece of art it takes time, it takes grit and determination, it takes a lot of mental and physical stress and above all, it has to start with delight, and ends with wisdom.
There is a beauty to Test Cricket that you find nowhere else. As the ball gets older, different skills are required. Different strategies slowly come into play. Fatigue also plays a factor, concentration can be the downfall of a player, the match can suddenly catch fire after periods of calm.
It is a nice format which is quick enough and not too short. The game finishes in approx 3h and more often than not the matches end in super overs which is extra fun. With the success of the T20 World cup a lot of franchise based cricket started (like the IPL).
The first ODI was played on January 5, 1971. This match was between Australia and England. The match was played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The match did not actually get ODI status. It was a test match. But the first three days were not played due to rain and the game was reduced later. This is how the ODI match started.
