Can T30 be the ultimate LOI format?

[BDfanforever]

Can T30 be ultimate be all end all LOI format? Let's face it, even though ODI is the best format, no big stars seems to care about it. We saw many big stars either retire or pull out from major ODI tournament this year.

T30 can bridge the gap between T20 and ODI perfectly. 20 Overs of Powerplay and 10 overs of Tuk Tuk. Leagues can also adapt to T30 format and Cricket do not have to manage three or four formats.

T35 with just one ball from both ends should be perfect.

I prefer ODI. I want T20 banned.

T30 is not cricket just like T20 is not cricket.

If ODI needs to be shortened, I think it can be shortened to 40 overs. No less than that.

ODI cricket is the perfect format for me. Games under 300 where good bowling is rewarded and batsmen work for their runs is the best cricket. Even better than test.

However the majority of the world prefers T20 cricket. if T20 makes boards money, gets TV ratings and fills stadiums why would anyone want to compromise on it?

It is almost like trying to find a format that suits Bangladesh lol Don't think it will suit either. You still need big hitters.

Nobody pulled out of the tournament. It was caused by injuries.

T20 is the future of cricket with Olympics adopting it. ODI if it surivives might go what Tendulkar had once suggested. Split into 2 innings of 25 overs.
I dont see any future for ODI, in the current set up after Kohli retires.

The problem is there is too many formats and for smaller teams it's getting difficult to manage all the formats. With something like T30 you just have to focus on managing ONE LOI format instead of two.

We all can agree T20 is more of a fun Cricket, and ODI middle overs from 11-40 can get really boring at times.

Yes, T20 is starting to become global sports with Brazil, Argentina and few of the European countries are also slowly adapting to it. Since, this format is way too short to be considered "proper" Cricket, I was suggesting something in between T20 and ODIs.

Smaller teams dont deal with Tests at all. The only thing left is ODI and T20. How hard is it?
Problem for smaller teams really is that their players are being burnt out playing multiples T20 leagues around the world and getting injured. BCCI , ECB and CA are able to exercise proper control of load management of the players. Other boards don't seem to have the control over their players.

No

50 overs is ideal . If you change that it is not worth from skills point of view. Shortening the format will not necessarily make it more interesting , it will make it extended version of 20 20. The solution is balance between bat and ball. That will make it more interesting.

Average length of baseball game is 2 hours 45 minutes. Average length of a T20 game is 3 hours 30 minutes. So that is the closest. They will have time for strategy break. innings break
