It is fashionable these days to put Test cricket on the highest possible pedestal while knocking down the shorter version of the game as a mere fast-food version of the four-course meal. At most times, that is indeed the case. But not when there is a World Cup just around the corner. Every team forgets about white flannels for a period and gets geared to cover themselves in glory in the high-adrenaline one-day championship. It is, after all, the only meaningful way to be crowned world champions, unless you’re the kind that likes cricket ratings, championship tables and the like.
