Of course we don’t want to lose a current side and I think there needs to be a huge focus on both stabilising the West Indies through their tumultuous times. Also the ICC will need to look at Zimbabwe because they are not in a good state and it can be argued that Afghanistan have surpassed them in quality with Afghanistan winning the past 2 series against the Zimbabweans.

ICC want to grow but how can they?

You are correct, there is nobody suggesting that Australia V Afghanistan will be the boxing day test but it will be a perfect “top-end” series in the “off-season” for places such as Darwin & Townsville.

Even if it isn’t teams such as Afghanistan or Ireland, there are plenty of teams in the Asian region looking to grow the game of cricket and with PNG right on our doorstep it is a huge opportunity and even so Cricket Australia could use it as a huge marketing ploy just as the NRL does for PNG.

The article is all about the ICC wanting to expand the numbers at the top level, this isn’t just an Australian idea by me, it’s the position of ICC Chief Executive Dave Richardson and the plan of chairman Shashank Manohar to expand the game.

And to Jeff’s comment, the statement is very incorrect because countries such as Nepal and Afghanistan are seeing crowds over 20,000 to watch matches they play.

Apologies for the spelling error, got my Japanese towns and teams confused, but agree on the fact that the Antlers outplayed Atletico Nacional, the concern is how long after an incident the referee can stop play and then use the review. In last night’s case he chose to view the sideline monitor which slows it down too much in my honest opinion.
