The times when Gavaskar, Richards and Miandad played were the best times. There can never be a better phase for cricket. That was the best phase. It was real cricket. You would never see scores like 300-plus on the board.
Cricket is become too much.
Now every Test match has results. One-day is too much. Even in Tests, if a batsman plays two maiden overs, he gets worried about the scoring rate and then goes on to smash, losing his wicket. You see in India, two Tests were played, both gave results. In Pakistan there were three Tests, all three gave results.
