The concept of 20-20 has been a massive hit and its innovation "Free Hit" has been forwarded to the ODI's. And this has seen some exciting moments in ODI's and the bowlers have become more conscious. So should this concept be introduced in TEST cricket too.........Just to spice up the game.......Ur views

I would really wont like if there is a concept of free hit in test cricket. Test cricket is generally considered gentlemens' cricket if a rule like the free hit which has been a hit and a craze in 20 - 20 is introduced into it it would spoil the spirit of the game and it would no longer be a gentleman's game it would change.
And there havwe already been a lot of disputes about the 20 - 20 format being a threat to the the classic format of the game so if such things are taken from 20 - 20 and put in the test match the prophecy would come true :)
So i guess test cricket is supposed to be left in its own format with no further changes and the 20 - 20 format rules are supposed to be confined to it only :)
