Two Tier Test Cricket in discussion again.

[Nasser Butt-Head]

So a 2 division test league. At last who wants to watch England v Afghanistan exactly?? Be great with promotion and relegation something to play for instead of pointless test series nowadays.

Just imagine England v South Africa to decide who stays up relegation battle be all over the press getting people interested in the series instead of pointless.. This should happen surely? Be more important a series to avoid relegation than an ashes series?

I do actually. I love that aspect of test cricket. Most member nations started off as minnows and got better as time progressed and as they played against better opposition. Likes of Sri Lanka and Bangladesh relatively lately and India and Pakistan further still back.

If there is actual proper relegation and promotion and not just a closed shop for the elite, then it might get some traction. However nothing that the ICC/BCCI do is for the love of the game, it's always about the money. So don't be surprised if they say promotion/relegation to begin with and then move the goalposts later.

P.s Nothing is more important than The Ashes mate.

The general public wouldn't give a fuck and neither would the press. An Ashes series always gets people talking though and always will
