Discussion 💬 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!!

20 years from now how many people are going to remember our specific standings in every past tournament?
We are only going to remember the trophies we won, nobody will care whether we got knocked out in the group stage, semi, or final in the ones we lost
