Test match series' need to be result oriented
in order to get interest in this format of the game!
There must be the need of revitalizing test match cricket across the globe between 10 top test match playing nations, so that they can/could be the role model for associates to follow...
For the same purpose, first we should look into the matter why test match cricket lost its importance in the passionate cricket lover countries in the globe, namely Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka to name some, as cricket in this region is followed with great passion and spirit, but the crowd and television ratings for test match cricket in South Asia compared to One Days and T20 cricket is very low, resulting in low attendance in the test match cricket as the main reason is that the duration of test cricket and after that even if one buys a ticket for a test match being played at National Stadium Karachi, Feroz Shah Kotla Delhi or SSC Colombo, after watching the game for almost five day without a result will surely divert the spectators away from test matches, so steps should be taken to breathe new life into this format by executing such steps that would allow to games end in definite result, if you take my personal opinion I'd suggest that just like a tie game in T20 match is given a result by a Super Over, similarly such type of execuation should be taken place at the time when on the fifth day a match is called off as a draw with the consensus of both teams' skippers, at that time they should execute a super over sorta thing, so that a possible result at the end of the match is achievable.
Plus just like ODI and T20 formats have Champions Trophy, Cricket World Cup and World T20 Championships, similarly a tournament comprises of world top 6 test match rating teams should participate so that there's a sense of competition among the teams to keep their ratings into top 6 test match teams, and they(the test match teams) should not play test matches just for formality (read recently concluded Sri Lanka v India Micromax test series 2010 in Sri Lanka).
Plus the number of games allotted for test matches should be increased with minussing the aspect of saving a test match with a draw and it should be discouraged among the teams... If you ask me minimum of 20 to 25 days of test match cricket in a bilateral series between two full member teams to be encouraged!!!
I may be wrong in my assessments so will be waiting for your feedback on these suggestions...
Peace!!
