Marco, Nitesh and Jake take an episode out from regular coverage to discuss the ICC's decision to admit two new test teams.

Its very interesting that they were made full members as well, instead of one of the ideas thrown around earlier where they get test status and play in a Div 2 type league but dont get votes as full members. This means the split of revenue now looks even more stupid, coz there are 2 more full members who get no separate share but get to pool with the associates.

Nice one. I like the idea of a 'Breaking Cricket News - CricketWeb reacts' sort of thing.

Also, am I to take it from certain things that were said in this one that Howe did eventually eat his shoe?

I don't think he did but he claims he did

Great stuff guys, really enjoying these. Keep them coming.

qwgstf made an excellent point on the timing actually dangling that carrot for the next generation of Irish cricketers, never thought of it that way.

On greater Noida, I reckon BCCI did it out of the goodness of their hearts. If it was money I think they'd have invited Nepal over a long time ago. There's a thread I made a while back on this and other good stuff the BCCI have done (just the 2 things lel) http://www.cricketweb.net/forum/cricket-chat/69179-good-guy-bcci.html

Interesting little discussion on UAE, I suppose ***** is right, but I think there's still room if the government funds the game more. We could see cricketers brought over just to play the sport. Fun fact: I was looking for Emirati cricketers and only found two - Mohammad Tauqir and Sultan Zarawani, the latter of whom was banned for criticising the board.
