Short tests

CA CEO Greenberg: Cricket Australia chief executive officer Todd Greenberg voiced his concerns over extending the duration of a Test match from five days to two, which can lead to continued excitement due to the number of wickets taken; however, Greenberg said that wicket-laden days can lead to the long-term demise of Tests as a format.

In light of the two-day test match that kicked off the Ashes series in Perth, there is now also a realistic possibility that we may see a third quick Test match during the Boxing Day Test match at the MCG, especially considering that 20 wickets fell in an action-packed first day at this year’s Test match.

However, a record 94,000 people crammed into the MCG on an extremely entertaining day, which will remain in the memories of all who attended for many years to come, according to Greenberg.
