Gayle's comments on Test cricket aint that serious enough to put the future of Test cricket in jeopardy. His comments are pretty insignificant to kick start a debate on the life of Test cricket. Much ado about nothing if you ask me. The Windies greats have gone off the tangent and so has the English media who now have got some canon fodder to write on. Ashes trumpet has been slow and almost non-existent given the way England have been playing all this days, so the Gayle comments have just given them the sound bytes to rant on.
When there are so intense battles like
India vs Australia
India vs Pakistan
Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh and
Australia vs South Africa
not forgetting the Ashes, how can the Test cricket die?
Test cricket isnt weak that it would die on some pretty stupid comments from an irresponsible West Indies skipper. When Test cricket survived Bodyline series, match fixing, ball tampering rows of past, then there is no reason why Test cricket wont survive T20 revolution.
IMHO Gayle's comments are pretty insignificant. We wont be saddened if Gayle retires prematurely from Test cricket, Not even a bit. Thats about it. I dont care much about him. Not at all.
