How are you meant to be a good test player if you don't play the long game regularly?
This is the conundrum. I don’t think it’s about the quantity of four day county cricket, but the quality.
Personally I think the ECB needs to have a look at what some of the smaller/lesser county teams are contributing to the four day game.

True but the lack of players desired by the test team taking part means the standard and drive to improve just can't be there, habitually strip the best players out and the competition as a whole is a sham...
How are you meant to be a good test player if you don't play the long game regularly? Is this an England thing? Do other countries put their test players into 4 day club games?
