Can't agree i am afraid foxy. When all the cash is being generated through a game that hardly remembles cricket, that's what will cause the split.

First the money will be ploughed into the shareholders,"or brokers" I can't see any money will be used to develop Test cricket - and furthermore the new 20/20 AKA soccer fans won't want Test cricket developed.

Money talks, and I can see Test cricket being 'jaw jawed' away.
