    My passion for first-class Cricket

    Thank you. Although I’m not sure if I understand the second part of your post

    My passion for first-class Cricket

    How proud I was to be in Lord’s watching my country play a test in the game’s home. How astonished I am that we are genuinely competing. I never in my wildest dreams thought I’d see this.

    ***Official*** West Indies in Australia 2015/16

    After the shambles that was their performance in the first test, at least we can say the West Indies have improved test-by-test (even if they have been moving from the very bottom). The platform they've built here with Brathwaite and Bravo could be a solid foundation to their best performance of...

    Taking the pulse: how healthy is international cricket & where are we heading.

    Not LITERALLY die. It might still be played, in fact it probably will. But attendances are as bad as they've ever been. Quality is lower than I can ever remember it. Interest in test cricket is at an all time low. I think we're already seeing the results of that diminishing interest, and test...

    Taking the pulse: how healthy is international cricket & where are we heading.

    Test cricket is going to die within 25 years. And it does not please me to say that. Not in the slightest.

    ***Official*** West Indies in Australia 2015/16

    The West Indies are awful. From a playing perspective, this is the saddest story in cricket.

    I love the Boxing Day Tests

    Only the Ashes tops them for me. That is all.

    Is there ANY hope of a West Indian test cricket resurgence?

    Then there's a team who went from good to bad to worse.

    Is there ANY hope of a West Indian test cricket resurgence?

    I love West Indian cricket, or I loved it at least. But the above question has been at the forefront of my cricketing thoughts for the best part of twenty years now. Any time they threaten at all, in a series, in a match, in a bloody over, I kid myself into believing that the Windies are back...

    Safeguarding Test Cricket's Future

    Yes, I think cricket's administrations leave a lot to be desired. The BCCI have huge influence, and as long as that remains the case I think it will be very difficult to push the revival of test cricket higher up the agenda. I personally think a tiered system would be the best way forward, with...

    That's correct now that I think of it, and I will alter the OP accordingly.

    Safeguarding Test Cricket's Future

    In a post written a few days ago, I spoke of my deep passion for first-class cricket, particularly test cricket. I also spoke of my concern at increasingly embarrassing attendances at test matches, a trend that shows no sign of reversing. I apologise in advance if this topic has been done to...

    My passion for first-class Cricket

    Thanks Adders :) It's good to hear that I am among people who have similar views on the game to me. I will be happy to contribute towards the thread on Ireland's test future, and I think people will find my views interesting! And I will also have my say on the ECB ;) maybe I will contribute to...

    My passion for first-class Cricket

    It's good to hear that first class cricket is getting more exposure on television in India. What is the overall situation like at the moment? I have been getting the impression, whether rightly or wrongly, that Twenty20 has almost entirely engulfed the first class game in India, which saddens...
