It is now one month since the T20 World Cup concluded. In his latest piece for the Australian Cricket Society, Liam McCullagh poses the question of whether Test cricket and T20 can co-exist. Here is the link:

Interesting discussion, Pils.
Test cricket will survive, as art always has. But I feel it will be squeezed into smaller “windows”
I feel they can Liam. What other game can go for five days and still be a draw. Thats the nature of a Test match. I think if the governing bodies tamper with it too much it will lose its place for sure.
T20 is really for a totally different market-.Totally different skillset.
Be interesting to see if ODIs are around in 10 years.
