The rise of T20 cricket has posed a threat to the survival of Test cricket, and according to Australian cricket legend Ian Chappell, another detrimental factor is the "abysmal pace of play." "The pace of play in Test cricket is abysmal. It's slowing every day and nothing is being done to improve matters. On the one hand Ben Stokes genuinely strives to improve the entertainment quotient of Test cricket but he's being undermined by the administrators' lack of initiative," Chappell said.
