Our Test status - strip it off & wait until we can actually play Test
Okay, so that's enough. I don't need to say why this comes here.
Think hard, and think realistically. We're not in a position to play mediocre level of Test cricket, forget competitive. If I don't fit in grade 6, but in grade 4, I should go to grade 4. And that is the decision we have to make about our Test status.
There's no point in going to play a game which we cannot play. We cannot survive for even 4 days in the 5 day match. That tells you how unfit we are for this.
Our domestic structure doesn't have anything to prepare the players for Test cricket properly. And until that happens, we cannot just throw in some average players in the field and ask them to play. At the same time, our players shouldn't just get happy like a little kid when given a chance to play Test cricket, as if it's a candy that they got after bugging their parents for hours.
So what is your thought about it? Should we be stripped off our Test status?
