Short-term liaison for game’s three formats

It has to be said that the three forms of the game have co-existed in a way to, at least temporarily, calm the nerves of doubters. Not everyone has been sure they would sit comfortably together. Cricket's modern custodians have adopted as an optimistic mantra in recent time that there's no other sport so lucky as to be played in three popular forms. The past few weeks lend some credence to their case. It may be a short-term loan, though, as little in the modern game gives the impression of being about more than fast money.
