All similar stuff that was said as ODIs went from 60-55-50 overs.
As for the bolded part? How about a bright colour copy rather than a drab black and white photocopy

Well he's got 50, but it wouldn't matter too much if he got out now tbh. England walking it.

NZ's Twenty20 batting getting shown up by Ian Bell, must be pretty humiliating...

Dear oh dear, big Jake gone 'ere. Oh dear.
Black Caps (I didn't bother watching the 20 20), true to form, lost to England who's becoming actually, quite good at 20 20.
NZ will come right in the ODIs. How did Flynn go if anyone watched him?
Oram's injury will hopefully mean Southee in the lineup. I think we can live with one less batting all rounder. Styris is already a batting all rounder.
Just checked the bowling... HOW POOR is MILLS? Our senior bowler getting smacked. His confidence must be severely dented from tests.

No, real (cricket) fans like Tests more than any other format. Anyone who doesn't isn't a cricket fan. Anyway, thank god that crap's over - apparently England won, though I'm more interested in this news that the kit was awful, might see if I can find something showing that.
ODIs up soon.

Not necessarily - _Ed_ is a great example of one of this site's most knowledgeable posters who prefers ODIs to Tests.I must say though, on the last few pages there has been a lot of talk of "real" fans, it is not a notion I am comfortable with. If people like cricket, they like cricket.

Someone who likes Twenty20 and doesn't like Tests more than Twenty20 isn't a cricket fan. Simple as. They're a Twenty20 fan. Gotta say I'd never noticed Edmunds likes ODIs more than Tests. If so I doubt it's by all that much. Anyone who likes ODIs and doesn't like Tests isn't a cricket fan either, they're a ODI fan.
To be a cricket fan, you have to like Tests (or at worst the domestic First-Class game) better than anything else - unless obviously you're someone who follows your own club more than anything else. Liking ODIs everso slightly more than Tests just about qualifies too I suppose, but it's still very surprising that anyone who posts and is taken seriously on CW does TBH.

Excitable chap: "I'm going to a Twenty20 match tonight".
buddy: "Oh cool, what's Twenty20 again"?
excitable [but becoming less excitable] chap: "Dunno, cause it's not cricket".
buddy: "Oh so what happens in this Twenty20"?
excitable: "Well there are two teams who play for 20 overs with 11 players per side, the object of the game is to make lots of runs, and hitting a 6 is the best thing for a batsmen and 4's are good too. There are also bowlers you bowl a ball, I think they call it a cricket ball btw, and you make it bounce and tight bowling is rewarded and so are wickets, which is when you get a player out. Also good fielding is rewarded because catches win matches".
buddy: "Oh sounds like cricket!"
excitable: "Nah it's not cricket because it's my favourite".

I cant really see who appointed you as the person who determines who is a cricket fan or is not a cricket fan
