They were shit for most of the 70s and 80s and cricket survived. The Guardian had them bottom of their fictional 1987 WTC. Test cricket needs to protect its ecosystem with an IPL-style FC league, and value the best int sides, even if they are not the teams that generate money.

Travis Head hopes under-fire Australia find 'that collective batting day'

Australiaā€™s batting following an increasingly familiar pattern. Losing to Bangladesh two months ago was a significant signpost. Will be a spectacular effort to lose this Test after 140 overs taken out by rain. #SAvAus - ā€˜Can't defend thatā€™ espncricinfo.com/story/can-tā€¦

For someone that claims to be a journalist, you donā€™t do a very good job of the first and most fundamental aspect of your mandate, which is to be objective. They have 3 formats. They have squads for each. How the fuck wouldnā€™t they have 11 international standard players.
