This thread constantly reminds me that cricket is probably the biggest thing I miss from living in the UK. Apart from T20, which I have actually seen on tv over here a couple of times and is a complete abomination. Although I can only follow it by reading the online reports, it seems like the quality, or at least excitement, of Test cricket has been growing steadily over the last few years.
Also, WTF has happened to the West Indies nowadays? Just whitewashed in the ODIs by Bangladesh?!?

All the best Windies players are only interested in T20 contracts.

Sad when you think the great West Indies test sides of the past were maybe the greatest ever

It's purely economics. I don't blame them at all. Travelling round the world, playing for multiple franchises, while earning very good money. If the fans in the Windies are no longer interested in test cricket, then there is nothing they can do, they are going to follow the money. They can't survive off the back of England rolling in every 4 years.

Only need a 3 or 4 nil win in India to ensure we make the Test finals.

I think Pakistan was the one they didn't like touring back in the day. Remember Botham's wouldn't send the Mother In Law there, and Gatting's bust up with the umpire's who weren't exactly neutral.
