Its impossible to disagree with both the content and the tone of this article. Unlike the piece by (Scyld Berry was it?) or Kumar Kumar Patel that pop up from time to time that have no intent but to rub C. tetani into our wounds you can tell how this piece is legit. Firstly, no mentions of specifics. Its intent is to inform not deride. Secondly, its written by someone who has actual cricket knowledge and experience at the highest level. Thirdly its written by someone with an intimate knowledge of the team they are discussing beyond statsguru.
At any rate, given what Ian has said, it appears as though there won't be any major fixes anytime soon. We will have to resort to debuting players and hoping they turn out to be the next Shakib, Tamim, or Nasir.
In the meantime we can only hope the new FC franchise league a) actually happens b) starts close to being on time and c) has a slightly better standard than the NCL. A series of small gradual improvements over 10-20 years might mean we can hope to achieve some semblance of parity by 2025.
