Mickey Arthur bats for five-day Tests
Pune, Jan 9: Amidst the ongoing debate on the ICC's proposal of trimming the five-day Tests to a four-day affair, Sri Lanka coach Mickey Arthur on Thursday objected to the global body's plan and said the fabric of the longest format of the game 'shouldn't be messed up'.
Arthur, who was earlier a coach with South Africa, Australia and recently Pakistan, said: "Look, five-day Test cricket is the way to go. Test cricket challenges you mentally, physically and technically and a lot of time on the fifth day (a result comes). We just witnessed a very good Test match (England versus South Africa) that finished on day five."
