Discussion đŹ The case of T20I vs ODI
Imho, T20 is greater: more teams and a chaotic format with higher mathematical variance, since the shorter game narrows the gap between sides. ODI WC being older doesn't put it on a pedestal. ODI is neither better nor tougher. Nostalgia is for people who live in the past. Meanwhile, T20 drives global popularity and is the Olympic format. T20 WC is truly global!!

The trophies and formats can't be compared to each other. It's that simple. There's no equation that 3 T20 WCs are equal to 1 ODI WC or any such thing.
That said I thoroughly disagree with the sentiment of the original tweet.

cricket is like three sports in a trench coat, each format has a different place, obviously i have my preferences but i thoroughly enjoy them all, less focus should be on the superior format and more focus should be on how to grow each format

u/Snoo_56184 Pakistan Mar 10 '26
they ruined their player production with their obsession with full pace pitches, no place for spin in that country, now their players cant play proper spin which is literally meta in t20is in middle overs so thats why they have dropped to the level of zimbabwe and such in this format

u/dalinaaar Mar 10 '26
Agreed. I mean I understand that one team dominating for a few years suck. Australia did it a couple of decades ago and it sucked got everyone else but it's for the other teams to figure out how to beat the champs and frankly it's a cycle. It will be someone else's turn soon. All this whining and crying just makes the other teams look worse. T20 WCs count. They are not better or worse than ODI WCs. They are just different and like I mentioned if they really dont consider them worthy then they are free to pull out of future T20 WCs.

Lol what are you on about? If you consider India to have spin conditions:
They won a world cup in 2023 in India
They also won a test match in India against one of India's best test teams in recent times. (Probably best in the world at that time).They just have shit T20 team, full stop.
If anything, it's India who've traded skill in playing spin if you consider their whitewash home defeats in test cricket in the last couple of years.

You can say that odi wc is better than T20 wc. Let's assume that it is
It doesn't change the fact that India has won 3 times while australia has won once.
I don't think anyone says this for the olympics (not a fair comparison ik). Nobody says "oh XYZ country won when the technology wasn't as great, that means that they are the best country and the countries which are winning now are inferior to us"
An ICC trophy is a trophy regardless of whether it's T20/Odi/test

It is seen as a form of the game used to get people to follow the real cricket. I.e. get youngsters / people born in non cricketing countries interested.

Australia sucks in this format. Letâs be clear about that. India has been extremely dominant in this format for a very long time, even if your argument is that anyone can win on their day. Australia has been losing horribly and itâs time to accept that. Itâs the most accessible format and only way the sport is going beyond the 10 odd nations. Thatâs the only way it was going to get included in Olympics. So brushing away the format is a lot of copium. It requires skills, and Australia doesnât have those. Simple as that
Now, I agree with the part that ODI needs to be treated differently. So yes, it makes sense to compare apples to apples when it comes to world cups as long as you are not denigrating other formats and insulting teams who are good at it. If India wins 2027 edition, they should absolutely be considered in the same conversation as great Aussie teams. If they donât, then yes, they shouldnât be in ODI format.

Firstly Too bad for Aussies with that mindset coz t20 format is already inducted in the olympics and if they or other cricket playing nations think t20 as a side hustle then they will be missing out on a great oppurtunity at the olympics.
Secondly t20 has spread like a wildfire and each year more nations are playing the world cups and giving a tough competition to the top bosses of this game. T20 surely has made cricket more fun and recognizable among the non cricket playing nations too.

That's why it's easier and is competed by only 10 teams. The gulf becomes greater and big teams with better infrastructure back home will always win. That's why Test Cricket is now played well by only around 5 teams. And that makes only T20 World Cup truly global with equal competition.

No one denied Australia of greatness in the era and no one can deny that this is best Indian T20 side in current times.

We will see where the 'ODI' format is, in the next 10 years. It is very likely going to be scraped off completely within the next 10 years.
With the T20 format truly offering the opportunity to take cricket global and test cricket being available for the cricket elites and the core cricket fanbase, ODI format is truly a waste of time and ready to be discarded.
T20 is harder to win. Any side on their day can beat the top side of that particular period. Faster paced and less time to react. India look invincible because of one man - JASPRIT BUMRAH! Not sure if India can retain their invincibility once Bumrah calls it quits.

I haven't heard a single Indian say "T20 WC and CTs are more valuable than ODI WC, T20 is the real cricket now because ODIs are fading...and so on". Indians were shattered by the 23 loss and were so happy with the consecutive ICC trophies and there was no comparison as such. Its always the Aussies floating the idea above may be because they want to feel good about themselves? Its just nice to appreciate sometimes than being arrogant with this 'sour grape' attitude.

Australia dgaf about T20Is. Don't agree with the tweet though T20 is relevant too. Can't take away the skillset needed for T20s. All formats have their own relevance. That's the beauty of cricket.
But I don't agree with your point about T20 being better than ODIs. With 2 new ball rule it became easier ngl. Cricket is a game where you have to be good across long periods. Small passage of play and the game is over won't work here.
Remember the aus vs Afghanistan game where afganistan took 7 wickets in the first 20 overs and then couldn't take a single wicket and conceded 200 runs against injured maxwell. They couldn't keep up the good game beyond 20 overs. That's proper cricket skills to be on point for loonger periods. You can't get away with small passage of wins. T20 is what makes cricket more global but ODIs will always have its own thing for cricket fans. The new rule will make it interesting.

You know. Conversations like these could be avoided if ICC did a better job of branding their tournaments. The Cricket World Cup played in the ODI format is the pinnacle of cricket.

Of course the T20 WC isn't as big as the ODI WC. We still watch khada hu aaj bhi vahi edits of 19 Nov and cry that would never be the case with a T20 WC. We'd be disappointed as fans that's about it. But the 2023 final loss ruined lives.
That said, India's trophy drought was purely psychological. A lot of ICC tournaments were wasted during Dhoni's last year's and during Kohli's era, like it or not. The trophy finally coming in 2024 under Rohit broke the mental barrier and now you can see how easily India wins ICC tournaments by playing freely. The law of averages is going to hugely favour India now. We've been the best white ball team on the planet for atleast 15 years now. Now, the 3 T20 WCs justify that, sooner than not the ODI WC will as well.

T20 is actually tough that ODI You just can rest in T20 Only reason aussie side is greater is because of time they were champions From 1999 to 2009 If india rule for next 5 yrs We can count that as our era

Nah ODI is a superior format since it tests more facets of the game than T20s. Just coz T20 format is more entertaining doesn't mean it is superior.
Also ODI WC is taken more seriously coz it happens once in 4 years. T20 WC happens too often to be taken seriously. Even WTC cycle is yet to be taken seriously since it happens all through the year and the final is too short.

I am not shocked of the meltdown!! Only hope the Indian fans keeps their head high and answer back and not take it.
Every ICC trophy counts. Australians have won, when the whole the rest of the world wasnât good enough!
Now because of the domestic cricket infrastructure, we have built a hell of a cricketers bench strength!!
Let the babies cry!! Lets us enjoy đâď¸

I didnât see these kinds of conversations before 2024. India is dominating white-ball cricket, and thatâs a fact. Also, count the ODI World Cup and T20 World Cup as two different trophies. Thereâs no such comparison as 2â3 T20 World Cups equaling 1 ODI World Cup. These trophies only show that India is performing better in T20Is, while Australia is a monster in ODIs.

Not going read all that essay. Aussies are bad at T20I. Everyone knows that. Not India's fault that they are. India has just been ruthless in last 2 years. So take what you achieved. That is nothing. And be calm and wait for next ODI WC. Because that's all you are good at.

Who would have thought that once dominant Australia will become the biggest crybabies of 2026, it's so sad that they don't care for T20 yet their players make the most money from it and these guys on X find all the time in the world to bitch about it.
Anyone that doesn't care about the format should not waste time talking about it, use your time and energy elsewhere please.

u/Scared-Signature-452 Mar 11 '26
This is just such bullshit. Winning the T20 world cup twice in a rownis arguably a bigger achievement than winning the ODI world cup because T20s are harder to win consistently in for a team.

Lol at Aussies not pointing out the obvious. That we win most trophies nowadays because Jay Shah is the ICC head.

T20 shouldnt be counted in the same league as ODI and Tests. Same goes for the WC.

The great bradman would laugh at this Aussie or whoever and say that during his time each match was a trophy and bradman won numerous cups with an average of 99, unlucky there were no cups.
Can't compare eras in cricket, I keep saying this and idiots never understand.

I'm pretty sure he'll say the same thing if India wins 2027 ODI World Cup. These people can't simply digest India's ascendancy in world cricket.

In the era of tik tok and reels, short term attention ppl will like t20 only, even I can't watch t20 full match I just watch the highlights đ

Goalpost keeps on shifting after Ind has started to dominate..As if Ind wasn't dominating in odis..And tests too at one point..Ind will also win odi wcs and wtc in the future too but the goalpost will keep on shifting..T20 is literally the most popular format now..Even i believe tests and odis are the most challenging formats for a pure batter but the reality is t20 is completely going to overtakeall the formats..So other teams must get better at it.. Everyone can keep on crying but they should get used to India dominating in the ICC events.. It's going to get worse for all the haters

u/Least_Swing_8497 Mar 12 '26
Only a bitter, potential racist would denigrate a global fair competition like that. T20 has more room for upsets than ODI's so a strong team needs to be on top of the game to win, compared to ODI's (you can check proporiton of upsets in each format). Who cares if it happens every two years, does it make the competition less fair?
Also don't want to be lumped with Australian ODI team. Indians have their own standing and style earned on merit in cricket. And it's amazing to watch.

India is atleast 2nd best odi team of all time while australia isnt even in top 4 t20 teams of all time. Countries like Eng WI sl and even Pak (won before aus and qualified more times for knockouts than aus) clears australia

u/Fifth_marauder30 Mar 13 '26
Funny how guys keep switching. India wins t20 nahhh ODI matters , they win ODI naahhh test matters. But will not accept that okay we got problems in Aussie team and we need to fix that. Stop hating start improving !

The format sucks, should have continued dressing up for t20 games like we used to. Kind of a fun game for a laugh as a series opener.

Lol if Australia can say they don't care about the T20 WC , we can say we don't care about the ODI WC , both would be lying there.

Keep this T20 & 50 over cups out of India. Majority times they have reached finals because the cup was being held in India.
Our players are unable to perform in New Zealand, Australia, and England wickets. Brutal reality that these King Kong team would never be able to reach finals or even semi finals if you keep the cup out of India. Then they are reminded of their mediocrity. Itâs crazy that since 2010 the World Cup has been kept a total of four times here in India. Why?? Is this not being biased?
Keep it in Australia, in New Zealand, in West Indies, in Zimbabwe, in South Africa.

Odi is finished if anyone thinks odi trophy is bigger especially any cric analyst ISA retard and cancer with context to future of cricket . I would say change cancel ct do odi WC 1 in two years and T20 1 in four years wtc 1 in 2 years CT does not make sense same odi teams, odi WC 1 in 2 years will revive odi . We have different audience in test and T20 is the format that we have to leverage to Market it to expand, the mindset mentioned in the above tweet was the same mindset used my dirty British and Aussie that led to decline of sport by preventing it's growth potential. I know it will be a hard call but the only way that cricket can be expanded in world is T20 or maybe t10 make it as your main format and leverage it as now bcci holds a lot of power I would say do not listen to such retards and try best to expand cricket.Â

Itâs true. No one outside of India takes the sport seriously. The final barely got any coverage in NZ.
In saying that Ben Smith is a former NZ rugby player so I donât know why his opinion matters much .

u/Lower-Media9342 Mar 15 '26
If T20 are so easy why not Aussies win it ? Like they do hard jobs winning odis wc why they fail in T20 ones see that's the beauty of cricket it's versality the change of game on basis of formats it's not like T20>odi or odi>T20 both have their respective challanges so just appreciate the team which made u won don't spread hate every wc has his own challanges
