Thanks for posting the report about WICB's attendance at the ICC Meeting, Ninjaman. Like you, I can't see anything positive coming from a two-tier system in what is essentially still a ten-horse race (sorry to mix metaphors). The idea of any of the present top eight being in Division Two is just to terrible to think of. Things in this game move in cycles: WI are having a rough few years at the moment (and they're not alone). WICB might need to look hard at how to put its house in order, as indeed might the ECB, which also has a way to go to bring its national team back as a credible world leader. Putting the West Indies in Division Two would not be any more helpful to them that putting England in Division Two would be to England. And a century or more of tradition would be lost at a stroke, with ancient popular contests falling out of the calendar as rivals are separated by an arbitrary divisional structure.

The idea stinks. I hope the ICC don't have their fingers up their noses when they look at it.
