Test cricket should be the only games over five days in my opinion.
Yeah but if it's a rainy week, chances are the fifth day is gonna be rainy to.
The amount of cricket days the weather allows in this country are few enough as it is without wasting them on reserve days that mainly won't be used.
And my main point is that test cricket is special because it's different from what is played at any other time.

Two full months of rest?
Another wicket. If we bowl them out for less than 200 (no Middlesex batting points) I give us a real chance.Lancet Fluke said:Looking good 134-6. Not that the bowling is really the issue.
