A game divided

Not too many great cricket pieces off late (of whatever I've been reading). But here's the Age's Greg Baum in full flight:

The ICC has its head in the sand, which in Dubai is not so surprising. So does the players' body. Test cricket draws crowds only in Australia and England, and that is not enough. In television terms, one Test used to be worth four one-dayers. Now, two Tests are worth one one-dayer, hence England's skewed schedule in India. Test cricket is screwed.

More such pearlers in the piece. Read the beauty.
