• This Australian Open has sadly proved what the networks think of the females game. The mens match is on before the females most nights and by the time that is over everyone is off to bed. I was at the Nadal match last night where 15000 were there for it and the stadium cleared out before the womens match. By the end there were 2000 people in RLA – be it at 130am. This is a sign that the womens competition isnt rated by the networks and that is why we dont see any Fed Cup action which is sad.

• I also agree with Garner. As I recently stated in my last article a two-tier system would disadvantage the smaller nations. We shouldnt be trying to put teams down but should look to builld them up. It is all about the development of the game and pouring funds into the game in every nation to make it a more competitive all round. We dont need to change the game just need to develop the players that pley it to improve the standard.

  Two-tier Test system selfish, says Garner (2)

• The political situation is not ideal in the region and the problems with the player strikes have not helped over the past year or so. If the region can find unity and once again focus on the development of their players they maybe we can see the glory days of West Indies again but it comes back to do the players and administrators have the will to make it happen.
