Warne worried for Test cricket

In his Herald Sun column, Shane Warne expresses his concerns about the future of Test cricket.

There has been plenty of talk about a Test championship and nothing has happened, but Test cricket needs an injection of something to capture fans across the world. In Australia, England and India it's still big, but it is not attracting crowds in a lot of other countries and that's a concern. If we are not careful, it will hit us so quickly that it's dying.

That would be a tragedy and the International Cricket Council and Cricket Australia should lead the way and do something now - ask the players what they think and what they think should be done. Please, no more greed with these ridiculous seven-match one-day series. It is a joke for the public and the players.

Malcolm Conn writes in the Australian that the Gabba Test is in danger of being upstaged by a bunch of schoolboys with the AFL draft to be held on day one.

In the Daily Telegraph, Robert Craddock looks back at the scene in the West Indies dressing room at Sabina Park in 1995, when their era of dominance finally came to an end.
