Prefer test cricket

Then one dyers, then 20/20

In truth, all can be good when they are close, and all can be one sided bore-fests.

The thing which is nice about 4 or 5 dyers is the way matches ebb and flow and there is always the chance of pulling off a complete switcharound.

Tho sometimes the changing conditions make it seem a total crapshoot.

A bit like with football, I'm most fed up with the constant mucking around of scheduling to meet TV or international series. The blocks of all one dyers, all 20/20, pushing the cc to the margins is ruining the domestic game which will impact on the national side.
