Bit of a daft idea from aggers in my opinion, all that does is rip all the history away and drive a wedge between cricket and its supporters. With no guarantee of a good result.Originally Posted by Undercoverinwurzelland
I'd personally rather see a mid season tournament between 2 or 4 representative teams made up of the best players that season. Make them 5 day matches on test standard pitches.
While the County game does have problems, I think it's also a bit rich to blame all the test teams problems on the counties. Lots of players who failed in that England ashes side had good starts to their international careers. They have then failed to improve or gone downhill rapidly. That suggests to me that the England coaches and analysts aren't doing a particularly great job.
The English/welsh County game seemed to do ok for the career development of Marnus Labushagne and Travis Head 🤣
