Is this a negative impact of T20 on English Test cricket? 11:38 - Aug 20 with 537 views

Players having become too keen on hitting out, rather than patiently defending in tricky conditions (or even being able to do so effectively)? Especially given the time left in the match.

Its not just English test cricket - but cricket in general - you see far more collapses now than you used to. But when the selectors are taking your white ball form into account to pick the team, its no real surprise....

Also, these players hardly play any long form cricket... they play tests, and maybe 2 or 3 four day games a season. They don't have the mindset , they play so much other cricket, they never have time to reflect on a failure - there's always next week..... with England, we see this all the time... poor one week, then good the next... and because the games are so compressed, you can't send them back to the counties to find some form and confidence.

Its a symptom of the fact that to the administrators, test and first class cricket is almost an irrelevance.
