The committee that came up with these proposals includes Neil Speight of the Bermuda Cricket Board. He should resign immediately

betcha Teams will only ask for Cricket when it is their Winter :

we will be reduced to a Holiday destination for Cricketers Fun and Frolic 

[size=14pt]* You folks believe the Indians, for example,  will want to face Australia, South Africa and England all the time ?[/size]

* NO FRIGGIN WAY.

* They will look forward to playing against weak teams like the West Indies.

* Their players will get to pad their stats.

* Same with the POMMIES.

* You folks think they will want to get pummeled by the Aussies year after year ?

* Like the Indians they will look forward to playing a weak a$$ West Indies team.

* In any case the bottom feeders will be playing each other more often in 2 test series.

* Zimbabwe, Bangladesh, West Indies, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Pakistan----they'll be seeing a lot of each other.

Ketchy:

* Aren't the West Indies playing [size=12pt]3 tests against NZ and 2 tests against Banglades[/size]h at HOME in 2014 ?

* I also believe they will be playing 3 tests against India later this year in India.

My concern is the Shivster 8 TEST matches by end of Year  !

Bi Lateral arragements will NOT work due to WICB being bankrupt !  >

if it happens, cricketing nations like Pak, SA, Sri, NZ and WI should left ICC and help each other to form another fair system. After that let associate boards to choose one suitable for them. Let CA, ECB and BCCI to earn by playing each other

I am not sue this is a good move.


Yes then better teams will want some lighter relief from the likes of the Windies but I suspect financially and skill wise weaker teams will suffer.


The FTP used to make a commitment to ensure all teams play against each other.

Probably one of the few instances where Rev made a non-exaggerated point
Teams do need a ranking boost - so obviously they're gonna tour WI. India have hosted WI a lot more than they should have, for eg. and that too without much of a gap. Same with NZ. I think Bangladesh would be the one to get hurt by this mostly.
