There are more of the best Test\ODI players involved aren't there? And they're more evenly distributed?

WRT to T20 fans - I'm not sure if that's still the case. It was originally but I think in any sport where it's possible there will always be a desire for an international game.
Yeah but the game will probably be better if there isn't. The international game doesn't need Twenty20 - it's already got Tests and ODIs, and indeed there's fair evidence that Twenty20 at international level is going to end-up doing great harm to the game - again we wait (and I mean wait 30 or 40 years) to see whether that ends-up being the case.

On the other hand, the domestic game can do very well indeed out of it.
