That's a fair comment I could agree with, but while players are still involved in Test cricket - I believe they should be banned from taking part is such a frenetic physical sport, or lose there Test places.

I believe this has to be the way, otherwise players like Flintoff or Simon Jones (if he ever returns) or Bond et at - will miss more Test cricket than they play through stress injuries.
