As I suggested in the above poem, WS and TV, if a batsman misses the ball completely (rather than being good enough to at least get an edge, which could be caught/out) in a test match, there may be no punishment at all (unless the batting side is running out of time, e.g.); however, in limited-over cricket, at least the batting side thereby suffers a dot-ball - thus, the competition is much fairer with far less luck involved.
