that magical number '8' again! :duh:
These magical 8 teams have established themselves over a very long time. I think it is funny how some people get angry when our practice matches are against minnow teams, yet cannot appreciate why teams like Australia do not want to play against us THAT OFTEN.

Anyhow, I think this is a good solution for the reasons people have already mentioned above. I just wonder though, what happens after Zim and Ban do improve substantially? How do we get into 'elite' level? Also, if we play fewer games in total, wouldn't that impair our team/player stats and rankings?

This is all an eye wash for pushing the elitist agendas of some morons. The more test matches we play, the better it is for test cricket.
Well, that hasn't quite worked out in the past 4 years...
