They tell me that Test cricket is finished. It's boring. It can no longer keep one enthralled for five days. And once again, the cynics and the belittlers have been proved wrong. The first Test between India and Australia in Mohali, must have been among the most exciting in history, and once again V V S Laxman, who so often plays second fiddle to Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid, came to India's rescue. Those mad Indian fans must have gone berserk when the winning run was scored, because for the whole day, it had looked as if Australia would win easily...were bound to win...until the last over. That's why Test cricket will always be superior to Twenty20 quick fix, and the pyjama One Day game. I look forward to the second Test starting tomorrow in Bangalore.

Dear sir,
Old is Gold. Test matches will always be the priority in terms of entertainment. It is the version of the game where we see our cricket stars displaying their real patience and class. The achievements in Test cricket are remembered for many years. The achievements in T20 evolve out of haste, they are unpredictable and thus easily forgotten.
