‘Tests always far above the white-ball cricket’ : Cricket

Full context of Starcs Quotes from a Sydney Morning Herald article:

It may have, but if Id gone in there and having no break and playing 12 months of the year, what does that affect? Starc said. Does that affect my body? Do I break down? Does it affect my red-ball cricket? You cant just sit there and go he should go to the IPL because hed be a better T20 bowler.

Whats the downside of that? Do I give away a format of the game because I’m playing 12 months of the year? In my mind I don’t regret any of those decisions not to go. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed April and May for the last seven or eight years, its probably helped my golf handicap, too. I wouldn’t change it.

Tests far above white ball. Ill decide on the rest as I go and where my bodys at and how I feel about it. Id love to, selection and form pending, continue playing Test Cricket as long as we can.

Its pretty clear to me hes talking about his personal preference and not putting down any format of the game. To him, if he had to choose between tests and white ball Cricket its an easy choice.

I don’t see how that makes him an Elitist Snob or someone fighting against the proliferation of T20 cricket. Just a cricketer who can only play so many days in a year and prefers one format above the others.
