T20 will kill 50 over one day cricket, apart from the world cup it is essentially irrelevant these days. Test cricket is still the pinnacle of the game though.
Multi day over - first time for me, but sounds like Test cricket. Two teams, two batting innings and two bowling innings each, 5 days to complete.
Single day over - again, first time I've heard it called that, but One day cricket (international games are often called ODIs, one day internationals). 1 x 50 over innings each, completed over the course of 8 hours, generally a day nighter, with the first innings played in the late afternoon and the second innings played in prime time under lights.
T20, is the newest form of the game. 20 overs each, takes about 3 hours to complete if it goes the distance, a batting collapse and a short run chase can drastically reduce the length of a game.

There are three forms of Test Cricket Now.
Multi-Day Over/International colloquially called "Test Cricket"
Single-Day Over/International
T20 International
I don't see how Test Cricket is surviving, it's certainly not a compelling TV product.
To your mind. Not to the mind of India and Pakistan.

Test Cricket, the only thing stopping South Asia from being embroiled in a decades long nuclear war. . .
The ICC say "There are three formats of cricket played at the international level – Test matches, One-Day Internationals and Twenty20 Internationals." I'd be interested to know where you got those terms from, like I said, first time I've seen them.
203,472 people at the 2019 Boxing day test. Billion dollar TV deals, the sub continent countries don't turn up to tests like they do the short format, unless it's Australia or England and to a lesser extent South Africa touring, but the TV deals are still huge. Even if it shrunk to tests between Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand and India, or just England and Australia, it would still be the pinnacle of cricket.
@Kaldak @RackMaster we could probably use a new thread with the last page or so of posts, we've gone somewhat off topic. I blame the curling posts to be honest.

I think the last format applied to every sport this year.

I don't know anything about Cricket...but it is widely enjoyed.
Back on track....
Soooooo.......received the Moderna vaccine on the 12/30, no reaction to any thing, sore at injection point for a bit....felt a little puny for a few hours, but that was it. 2nd round set for 1/27. Some other guys felt achy all over for a day.

You do know they’re not talking about the cellular company popular among the AARP crowd?
Health officials gave COVID-19 vaccines to friends instead of elderly - Insider
FIRST ON 3: COVID-19 vaccine administrators give doses to close contacts hours after qualified citizens were turned away
Maybe it's true they mis-projected the amount of doses they had, but the optics are incredibly bad when you turn people away then call your friends in to recieve them (who most likely didn't meet the CDC guidelines of first responders or elderly, this is speculation on my part). I understand not wanting to let doses go to waste, but this leaves an incredibly sour taste in my mouth.

I'd fire all of them. I'd publicize their names and make it hard. That's gotta be a crime somehow?
Wow. That's terrible. Definitely worth an investigation.
