Protect Test cricket - Dravid

[ via Sport24 ] 15 Dec

Indian batting great Rahul Dravid has urged administrators to cut "meaningless" one-day cricket matches and work harder to win back fans to Tests, which he said remain the "gold standard" for players, at Sydney, Australia.

Dravid also cautioned against the menace of match-fixing while delivering the Sir Donald Bradman Oration at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra on Wednesday night.

"Cricket must find a middle path," he said. "It must scale down this mad merry-go-round that teams and players find themselves in - heading off for two-Test tours and seven-match ODI series with a few Twenty20s thrown in."
