To save test cricket, limit it to 2 sessions

per day.

Replace the first session with a relevant 20/20 or 15/15 match for modern fans to have something to be engaged in.

The aficionados along with the old, the romantics, and the infirm, could then enjoy the afternoon bawling over exciting tickles down the leg side and stupendous dot balls.

That mostly applies to WI cricket. None of England, OZ, India, Etc play like that. They might have ONE batsman maximum who plays that way. The rest actually seek to score runs. What a concept!

The epitome of modern day WI test batting is kraigg Brathwaite

Now we produce the likes of Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Solozano, DaSilva, Nandu etc and heal praise and platitudes on them for the way they “play”

At the same time, our “fans” heap scorn and ridicule upon the Shai Hopes, Hety’s and Pooran’s

We are fucked

It’s unbelievable that someone like Reifer is considered to be WI future in the #3 batting position over someone like King. If these guys don’t make runs against THIS Zim attack and are still taken to SA…
