I prefer test cricket. I've got back into the 50 over stuff a bot of late but thats

probably just because we've become good at it.

I see the niche for T20 (and to be honest i'd take my kids to it because I think they could sit through a t20 but not a test match day) but I hate the impact its had on test match batting and the lack of patience/technique of some of the batsmen now. I think when it first came in it had a positive impact as it saw the scoring rates increase and more positive batting but now its gone too far the other way and nobody seems to be able to build a proper innings.

Test match cricket will always be the purist and best form of the game for me.
