We are going to fall off a cliff of the World Test rankings within 3 years

Possibly.
Changes need to be made. I have faith in our system it’s produced the goods most of the time for a long time. But right now there seems to be a chasm so wide you can’t see the other side. Hopefully there are some young guns who take their chance this summer.
Even though i agree with your comments about our system (it is probably the consistently best in the world) it has taken damage from t20 stupidity giving young players the idea that slogging is the way to go.This is also a factor because the BIG money comes from selling your soul chasing t20 franchises around the world (mainly India).How i would love to see someone like Bill Lawry coming through the system who always valued his wicket.
Hit and giggle cricket is destroying the game.

When is Marnus going to be dropped. He’s had more than enough chances and surely can’t go to SA.

It’s certainly changing and yes like it or not t20 is where the money is at.
It’s eroding the patience in the game, can your technique hold up long term?
It’s a shame it wasn’t around when I was young, my technique was tops for about 4 overs, indoor cricket was my sweet spot.
Actually that’s not far off, sometimes it feels like i’m watching a bunch of indoor cricketers play test match cricket and that goes for all sides.
Sad isn't it,5 day test matches used to be the norm and these days it is a rarity.
Champion @jadtiger - it's just not cricket.
I was down at local park watching my grandaughter playing soccer, and there were some teens there practising in the cricket nets. Boys and girls. I had a chat and they all said they loved test matches - quite surprised I was.
Remember when the standard for an early finish was a 3 day test? This one looks extremely long odds to make it that far.

2 days.
Are they seriously trying to pass this shite off as test match cricket?

Indeed, there needs to be an investigation

The Klown had us 1-12.
There will be no investigation.
