They take plenty lixx……deservedly so.

By the same token, when they implement a progressive initiative, it should be recognized and encouraged.

At least it’s doing SOMETHING to incentivize interest in the game’s longest format.

Well done!

It’s a good idea, but shouldn’t they be in school? Hopefully is the weekend.
Schools closing about now.

good initiateve......16 years too late. nobody wants to see this team. they're going to get pulverized in 3 days max(not by an innings because australia's batting is poor and our bowling is extremely capable of limiting them to small totals) but our batsmen cannot last against cummins and co for any prolonged length of time

Don't know about the Caribbean but summer break in Canada begins on June 30. If the same applies then the kids will only miss the first test ...

The only incentive that could motivate young people is winning. If the team continues to lose, no child would be interested. As far as I know, at least, in certain countries, the students have been allowed to enter for free. in some cases, certain politicians/leaders had bought up most of the tickets and gave them out to their supporters as downpayment for loyalty. It did not work, it will not work. We have to do the things that motivate people to go on their own.

This is the problem. Anything they do they are damned.

Kids will be better of for this exposure, a couple of days out of school will hurt no one. Look at it as one of the out of school activities
