They say test cricket is on the way out, not because of the public but the players. They can earn trillions playing hit and giggle for four hours - whey play test cricket for five days?

Just like footballers, it is now about getting the most coin, not what the best challenge is. They have their coin, oversize bats, short boundaries, drop in pitches - they have become lazy.

Forget about nets - to train for tests properly put these twits on a field, two at a time and force them to bat a full day each, with fresh bowlers and fielders rotating. Nets does nothing for technique.
