Are you thinking of
Test cricket?
Because those rarely ever take place now (or at least, draw no crowds).
First there came the
one-day 50-overs stuff (to draw advertisers and replace test cricket) and now, to my utter horror, the most popular form is the gawdawful
Twenty20.
I really feel like a grumpy old curmudgeon shaking my fist at all these changes (after having grown up watching test matches over the better part of a week in a rather leisurely fashion -- dudes couldn't run and could hardly be bothered to make much of an effort; style mattered so much more). Okay, will stop venting and pining for the good old days just about now!
