I prefer the 16 matches at 4 days. One division. Not so many contrived declarations and joke bowling.
But, yes, I much prefer the longer format.
The question was about the 70/80s - the four-day format came in 1993. But, yes, if I had a choice 17 games of four-day cricket plus a tourist and a varsity game and a couple of one-day format games.
Jumpers for wickets, marvellous scenes.

Proper tackling. When was the last 50/50 challenge that wasn't given as a free-kick and probably a booking one way or the other?
Footballs that didn't swerve in 5 different directions before reaching the keeper. That was all great fun using a 99p jobbie from Woolworths, but to see the same happen in professional football is a bit silly IMHO.
A reasonably priced cup of tea! I do understand why coffee has become more expensive, as the product has moved on massively from being a few granules and hot water. But what has happened to tea? Just feels like a cup of tea has always been "about the same price as a cup of coffee" and so it remains. But why? It's the same old tea bag and hot water it always was. .

Really? Looks more like a daft comment to me, certainly not one that makes any sense. Maybe a failed attempt at humour..........?
Oh well, who gives a toss............
