Isn't it a bit early to write off a game that's lasted this long? I just feel like Test cricket still has something worth keeping, even if it's slower and less flashy. I'm not great at arguing this, but calling the decline fine seems too easy.

But doesn't a slower game still teach patience in a way highlight reels can't? My opponent makes a fair point that tastes change, and I'm not sure how to argue against that. I just feel letting the format fade feels like losing something without really replacing it.
