Does the new format of Cricket (Twenty 20), Technology and New generation affecting Test Cricket?

Now that the New Zealand tour of India already started (India won the series leading 2 -0, with one more test match left now), the intensity increased a bit to watch, just not for my long lasting passion for Cricket, but India played its 500 Test match. For me the time zones may affect but at least I am happy for some extent because of PST time zone, as I can watch at least till Lunch Sessions (By that time it will be Midnight here).   During recent conversations in phone with my friend, He asked what actually I was doing?

Time to play cricket with dearly..Flow of heat quickening the body Made to realize bit of sweat as I’m running badly… Hurray we won Cheering crowd..Wisecracking whistles…Dazzling dances it is... Movie madness made us to catch the cinema. We are on the edge of the seats to sense the drama. Larkish mind and biting teeth trying to catch the enigma..

       Melbourne is the city which bonded to my heart when I used to watch Cricket in childhood. The capital city of state Victoria is Melbourne is what I came through cricket but not through G.K. This is because for all the cricket fanatics one thing which reflects when they heard about this city is The MCG(i.e Melbourne Cricket Ground). The MCG looks magnificently beautiful. Every year on Boxing day its MCG which hosts the Boxing day test match. It's 10th largest ground throughout the world and largest in Australia.      One of the largest sporting club Melbourne cricket club is resided in this city. No wonder why it is called as the Sporting and Cultural capital of the Australia.OK....let me calm my senses. All my mind filled up with the cricket cosmetics. My dream to Watch India vs Australia Test match in MCG came true through Victoria Tourism /Indi blogger for Border-Gavaskar Trophy.                                              The Boxing Day Test Match Dec 26 @
