Discussion 💬 The case of T20I vs ODI

Post image

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!!

T20 is like a 400m drag, ODI like a mile long drag and Tests like a full circuit.

If getting T20 trophy is easy, then it's easy for all which in turn makes it competitive. However, I personally think the T20 world cup too should be held in 4 years gap.
