'Anyone Who Thinks T20 Is A Better Game Than The 50-over Game Is Off Their Rocker', Says Ian Chappell
New Zealand Cricket: Former Australia captain Ian Chappell said he fears for the future of the 50-over format due to the attitude of the administrators. His comments come after the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy would be contested for T20Is for the first time through the upcoming series between Australia and New Zealand, starting in Wellington on Wednesday.
Since its inception in 2004, the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy was always for ODIs between Australia and New Zealand. Statements from Cricket Australia (CA) and New Zealand Cricket (NZC) said a points system will also be used for future back-to-back ODI and T20I series between the Trans-Tasman rivals.
"They certainly have T20 cricket at the top of the pole, and there's more and more T20 cricket being played and less and less 50-over cricket. Anyone who thinks T20 is a better game than the 50-over game is off their rocker. The administrators have let 50-over cricket go, and I think they've let it go to the point where they may not be able to resurrect it," said Chappell on Wide World of Sports (WWOS).
