It's incredible to think that League Two football club sides in England attract larger numbers of spectators than the England cricket team does in an Ashes series. The UK badly needs an MCG style cricket venue that can hold huge crowd capacity. Whilst you're at it, try lowering the ticket prices and doing away with so many ridiculous rules and regulations. A Test Championship will be worthless, both in spirit and financially if played in front of sparse crowds.
We don't really need a Test Championship to know that SA are currently number One .. England probably second .. All Test sides rise and fall .. WI and Oz have had their periods of dominance .. They can only improve ..
Most Test spectators probably budget for one day per series .. A proliferation of matches will not necessarily induce them to watch two unless ticket prices are at least halved .. so profits will be no greater ..
It's the old 'Less is More' .. Quality v Quantity argument .. Aim for Optimums not unreachable Maximums ..
Unless Sky are willing to pay inordinate sums I cannot see a Test Championship being profitable ..
