Counter-Proposal to ICC: OK!...Bring 2-Tier ON!!

[Ahmed_B]

If it has to be... then be it!!
Bring it on... and do it right now!
Yes... I am accepting the 2-tier Test-Cricket Structure Right Here and Right Now!... But there is one STRAIGHTFORWARD CONDITION!! And that is: ICC has to be absolutely fair all the way!! And they have to do it to prove that they are not working as Dummy Authority to protect the Financial Security of the leading cricket nations alone!

Here is a 2-Tier Test-Cricket Structure for the ICC!!

Tier-1: Currently top-ranked 8 Nations.
Tier-2: Bangladesh, Zimbabwe + 2 or 4 more Associate Nations(according to performance)= 4 or 6 Nations.
CONDITION: But.. there MUST be a ventilation system between these 2 tiers!
In every 3/4 years or so... there has to be a RELEGATION TOURNAMENT between the 2 bottom-ranked nations of Tier-1 and the 2 top ranked Nations of Tier-2...and after the Tournament, the Champion+Runner-Up Will be promoted to Tier-1 and the rest 2 will be demoted to Tier-2!!

Now tell me ICC, are you strong enough to establish this sort of 2-tier structure?? Or will the Elitists be shocked to hear such a proposal and may withdraw all your authority if you even place it on the table?!
If so... then stop all your 2-Tier Cry and pack-up this so-called ‘Cricket-Rescue-Mission’ mockery once and for all!! Go tell all the 8 ‘Elite’ Big brothers to develop a little bit more patience and not lose their sense of proportion in extreme desire to be declared the ‘Untouchable’!

(*Note to BC members: This Breakdown is placed SOLELY to point out the prime weakness & hypocrisy of the 2-tier Idea.)
