Melbourne: West Indian great Michael Holding is unhappy at the current state of the Test cricket. The fearsome fast bowler reckons that Twenty20 format is causing irreparable damage to the longer format of the game.
"When you see what is happening all around the world with all this Twenty20 cricket - Australia have now gone to two months of Twenty20 cricket, solitary Twenty20, nothing else," he said.
"The format is not good because you cannot produce good cricketers from Twenty20, but also because it is so highly biased financially.
Holding, who took 249 wickets in 60 Tests, was also concerned for the future of his craft.
It is pretty ordinary," he said of current fast bowling stocks.
"You don't have too many fast bowlers around the world these days and I think there is so much cricket being played, it's difficult to keep on producing fast bowlers.
