Do domestic structures define the test rankings? - Page 4

Quite right. Wouldn't surprise me if half of that lot didn't play internationally, either.

I was just assuring Morgie that there was the odd player or two that we'd managed to come up with over the last year or so that might have a chance. It seems to have satisfied him, too.

Domestic structures mean everything. Ireland doesn't have one, which is why we have zero chance of ever becoming a test side. Zimbabwe cricket was kept alive during the last five years by its domestic structure.

England has the best and most competitive four-day competition in the world, helps them massively.
