Which country has the best domestic cricket

[ramboy]

Pls voice ur opinions and vote in the poll,i vote for england

I'd say that England had the best teams, but I think that the West Indies has the best structure. A first-class and a one-day tournament, both clearly seperated.

Englands domestic structure needs a good long look at it.

See my website for my ideas on reform of it.

 

[imported_fastbreaker]

I voted for England, as they have a broad and organized domestic system

 

[Neo!]

England

 

[temp]

England.

 

[andrew_nixon]

Why do you think England is the best?

 

[Nirav85]

bANGALADESh...well no, i think aus does becaue they produce the best players and when i player comes out of there, he is ready for the international arena already(ie gilchrist)

 

[imported_fastbreaker]

But the question is...WHich country has the best domestic structure, not which country has better domestic players.

 

[rasi]

Obviously, the country producing the best players must have the best domestic structure. However good the domestic structure may be, it is no good if it does not produce better players.

 

[andrew_nixon]

Australia obviously has the best players.

England has the best teams.

But England isn't even close to having the best domestic structure. Why do people think it's so good?

 

[bharat]

England of course.It's fun watching English domestic cricket.It's not dull like Indian domestic cricket ,in my openian.

 

[andrew_nixon]

But the structure? You seriously think that it has the best domestic structure in the world?

 

[wackojacko]

Yes, it has. People tend to come and watch matches. In Pakistan there's no one to support the players that why they don't get under pressure and just win as they are playing on computer. Remember Imran Khan slams the domestic structure. When the NatWest series was going on, Sunil Gavaskar, said that Imran mean that Karachi playing Lahore or Islamabd, etc. So that people come and watch the match.

I mean England has better domestic structure.

People don't come and watch the matches. In county championship games the crowd sometimes doesn't even reach 3 figures for a days play and grounds are nearly always less than half full.

The structure is just crap. There are way too many games, one day cricket and first class cricket is on at the same time, games don't always start on the same day, and the schedule is way too crowded, with players hardly ever getting a day off, leading to injuries.

If you were to actually look at a full fixture list, you'd see that it is just a mess.
