Test cricket is dying. T20 has taken over in the Caribbean, no turning back now.

Polly available; they say he not good enough
Gayle available; they say not qualified
Bravo not qualified
Simmo forced to retire
SARS same ting

Steve Waugh is a piece of work. Australia is a Big 3 member, gets the lion's share of revenue, of course their players can pick and choose where and when to play. The Ashes is a sacred event, yadda yadda yadda. Besides, he has no love for West Indies.

You won't have T20 without four or five day cricket- T20 on it's own won't produce any bowlers.

Interesting!!!

If you do a poll right now in the West Indies you will find that maybe 90% of our own don't have any love for WI cricket...

In reply to Kay... but do they love cricket?

did Gayle, bravo,Pollard and Sars ever played for the WI before or together, and where were the WI rank, let me guess 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, 6 7.

If our better players only play our regional T20 then it stands to reason dat the other formats are goimg to suffer. We must find a way of getting them to play a few matches in the other formats so that the standards can improve.

De WI is the only country where de best players only play in one format in the game.

Sponsorship is also dependant on the availability of big name players so we must find a way to get them to play regionally without unduly restricting their ability to earn a living.

Even if the WICB tinker with the regional schedule this will not happen since the reward will not be worth the risk to these players. Which of those will want to play 4 day cricket for peanuts while risking physical fitness and injuries?

Unless of course the $ match what they earn in the big leagues....

I'm glad you brought that up; having said that then do the comments about WIndians 'choosing' t20 over Tests grate even more nonsensical?
