I added a poll. Be honest and pick the format that you actually enjoy watching. You can mention reasons on the thread.

TO - Test

What happened to WDWCC?

Muga made me do it

As I have got older I've really enjoyed Test matches.. Although I wouldn't watch it 100% all 5 days, I love following it and keeping track of the scores.

I have lost that energy to watch full sessions of Test cricket. One sided matches are difficult to follow for 3-4 days. Of course, I watch when there's a good Test match on, but I'm beginning to enjoy T20I more as they produce close finishes more often compared to the other formats. If it's one sided, you only have to tolerate for just a few overs. ODI cricket lost its excitement for me when they changed rules to make batting easy in middle overs (16-40). Apart from the WC, I hardly watch ODI matches in full these days. In T20I, at least the batsmen are still challenged to hit boundaries when 5 fielders are on the boundary after the power play.

Lost interest to watch any cricket involving SL or any team these days. Might return to watching once SLC start giving everyone a fair chance.

This was the last SL Test I watched session by session. Last two days at the ground

It's hard to watch Test cricket when bats like Dickwella, Thiri and bindu malli play.

I like test cricket the most but watch matches in other two formats as well, specially if SL in playing. In saying that, I don't watch as much as I used to.

Yea can no longer possibly watch full sessions but tests is my go to. There will be random days when I actually sit through a couple of sessions but mostly while I might be doing something else unless it is a super absorbing battle.

With SL's demise it's hard to keep up the motivation. I am only really interested in the other formats when SL plays and/or its a world event. And / or its within a decent time zone. Not staying up late to watch this stuff anymore.

Marquee series are always more fun too Aus v Eng, Aus v Ind , Eng v Ind, SA v Aus/Eng/Ind. NZ v good teams. These are interesting series

For me personally, I no longer watch T20 at all unless it's the WorldT20. Might watch the occasional game but generally I'm just not for it. ODIs are good if competitive but again, there's just too many one sided/flat pitch/contextless ODIs that it's not worth my time anymore.

I do watch Test when I can, but I tend to choose, and never session by session like I used to. And only the competitive ones, and if it' happened to be at a time convenient for me. I no longer stay up late at night to watch cricket. What I usually do is follow the scorecard and try to catch sessions that might be interesting/competitive.
