Sit down, breathe and imagine this:
ODI: 54 all out.
Top score: 11.
Win by 245 runs.
When was the last time you witnessed such beauty?
I can think of a Test match. The score was 51 all out. And that was a Test. We all know that Test cricket is superior. The big problem with ODI cricket is that nobody collapses anymore. Blame T20. Are there any tailenders left who can’t hold the fort anymore? It’s become a prerequisite to be able to bat down to number 10 and that your number 11 can at least play a few shots, in Tests any way.
But since when has ODI cricket become a batsman’s game?
I want to see heads get taken off, I want to see players bleed. I want to see dismal totals. Until then, ODI cricket is pretty much dead to me.
Thank you Suresh Raina and Ravid Jadeja for ruining it.
