Does a ''real'' cricket fan have to hate LOI and/or consider them irrelevant?

Deep down, I'm sure that we would all agree that it is far more difficult to play Test cricket, and to succeed at Test Cricket, than any other form of the game. It is the unbelievable skill and tenacity required to bat all day against McGrath and Warne, or Marshall and Holding that we really admire, and puts the 5 Day game on a higher plain.
There's like one person in this thread who is arguing against this, if that.

Limited over games involve deadlines, and it can be no one's case that deadlines aren't a lot of pressure requiring a specific skill set to cope with.

I'd expand a lot more on my point if I weren't in transit flying out through Chandigarh airport with a sore arm.

And I haven't seen anyone here saying the players don't give a crap about T20.
No but we're saying that T20 WC is important because of that. Agree or disagree, its a line or argument.

Telling people who are saying limited overs cricket matters that test cricket matters more because its more skilful and the form where the greatest moments have happened doesn't add anything to the debate really. Its just irrelevant.

Jono doing his best to earn himself more points now. Copped the filter avoidance infraction and now he can't stop :ph34r:

In all seriousness though, family forum gents.

Burgey entrapment is solid defence surely?

Edit: Wait I was the one who started it. I'm all over the joint here. I blame Yuvraj.

As defending BOTM champion, Jono is under the pump. He's deliberately trying to get infracted to cultivate a bad boy image and gain some much needed street cred.

I'm onto you, ****.
