That even now - after an absolute ripper of a 5 test series, which saw a record attendance across the entire summer and the highest attendance to the final 7 and a bit days to it ever - people still think test cricket needs to be saved.

If cricket needs to be saved, it needs to be saved from the penny pinching needs of those who would squeeze every last coin they can get from the sport at all times.

Which is why the Big 3 need to look after the rest and pool some cash instead of gouging.

NZ have just been through a golden age yet we’ve hardly played them.

Everyone is up and about now because we’ve had a competitive season and we have England next but honestly last year had zero attraction.

Blame footy for that. Preseason comps and training kicks cricketers off grounds soon.

Cricket is just as much to blame for that as footy. For years, the Australian cricket team was spending 9 months away from home, playing in all sorts of competitions overseas, or not playing at all. Touring teams would arrive in Australia sometimes before our Test team would. Squeeze in 5 Tests and a handful of limited overs games, and we were off overseas again.

Can't blame the AFL for thinking, "Well, if Cricket Australia doesn't want to maximize this time, we'll take it from them.
