do you think test cricket will be ended due to 20-20 matches?

I think with the high demand and high money of 20-20 international matches, the test cricket will be vanished. Due to the two editions of the IPL and two 20-20 world cup, no body wants to watch test cricket matches. Ashes series is exceptional case which also will be vanish after some time

No my dear friend, if a person who had played cricket and has interest in cricket if asked to choose between Test Cricket and T20, they will surely select Test cricket. Any cricket player true talent test can come out in Test cricket only. In T20 cricket an average player can also become successul, slogging is what required. I am sure that ICC will make Test cricket more interested and now a days many of the Test matches are no more boring draws. I am enjoying both Test Cricket and T20 formats as well..

well no matter what happens
the real cricket is still the test version. i mean you sould have so much skill to play this version of the game. in T20 any one with good luck on a day can score runs but not the case in test matches and there is a tough competition between bowlers and batsmen. there is always a lot of support in test cricket to bowlers. they have bo9uncers and all to test the batsman. but these are not at all there in the shorter version of the game. all in all the real game is still test cricket and i still enjoy it. the ashes for example is a real nail biter.

It is a bit harsh to say that none wants to watch test matches, take the final ashes match at the oval - a sell out crowd.

i see no way for the end of test cricket. i believe test cricket is the purest form of cricket and shows the real qualities of a player.strenght,determination,concentration,patience and mainly fitness are tested to maximum in this form of cricket and that makes it even more interesting. i find T 20 more enjoyable but test cricket as "cricket".i think many will agree to this
