If a two tier system is introduced in test cricket, then according to Julian Hunte, West Indies may end up having to play only Bangladesh and Zimbabwe...

This prospect sounds truly awful when one considers the magnificent heritage of cricket in the West Indies, and chaps like the great George Headley must surely be turning in their graves.

Many have complained about the lack of strong opposition from teams like Zimbabwe and Bangladesh, and the only option that appears to be available is a two tiered system if those two countries aren't kicked out of test cricket altogether. This would also mean that the West Indies may be required to join them in this group, a definitely unwelcome situation for West Indian people.

But the facts are there - the West Indian team plays absolutely atrocious cricket, and obviously merit is going to decide who plays in which tier, and the West Indies are at the bottom...
