Test cricket is still king: Johnson

7/08/2008 7:28:00 AM.  | AAP & LIVENEWS.com.au
Australian Test paceman Mitchell Johnson says the explosion of Twenty20 cricket has been good for the game but he hopes the new format doesn't take away the prestige of Test cricket.

Twenty20 cricket has captured the imagination of the public around the world and, following the success of the Indian Premier League and Twenty20 domestic leagues around the world, there is already talk about the format being introduced at the 2020 Olympic Games.

Johnson said it would be "pretty cool" to represent Australia at the Olympics but said Test cricket remained the pinnacle of the sport.

"Test match cricket is the ultimate," Johnson said.

"You ask all the other guys and they'll say the same thing.

"Test match cricket is what they want to play. Hopefully it can stay like that and Twenty20 not take over, but I'm pretty confident Test match cricket is staying strong."
