New FTP

[McLOVIN]

No home-and-away for new FTP | Cricket News | Cricinfo ICC Site | Cricinfo.com

All teams at present must play each other twice in Test and one-day series over a six-year cycle, but Morgan said the new FTP could reduce the mandatory requirement to one series.

Hmm. The small teams might suffer

Yea I can see this happening. We might see a overload of top teams just playing each other and making all the big bucks. Not that its not happening already to a lesser extent.

I just read this and I can't believe it. The home-away series is the ONE part of the thing that has to stay. If you can't play 16 series in 6 years, well God help us. And instead what? He's gonna leave it to the boards to organise more of their own series? Give me a break. It'll end up like the BCCI playing about 10 Test matches in 2 years and everyone playing crappy 5-7 game ODI series against Australia. David Morgan, you sir officially have NO IDEA

Can't see India playing too many test series with this. Especially seeing as they just cancelled one of the biggest series of the decade.

This isn't going to be good for the fans, they might have to wait 10 years between say Australia in West Indies. I do like the Test championship idea though, that could have potential if done right.

I dont like giving the boards power to choose their own fixtures and how much they want to play each team.

Test championship needed, this is beyond obvious now. It must take a special kind of idiot to become a cricket administrator

Maybe you can't have a brain?
