The easy answer is having two divisions but I don't see how that can work practically. Without television revenue it won't work, but the television companies need to know England are playing Australia, or India are playing Pakistan, the games which people want to see. Unfortunately television does rule Test cricket, as it does other sports.Destroying anything around off-stump? I was a hopeless coward for anything short, but I probably had two moments as a batsman. I destroyed Richard Hadlee once, when we were 90-8 - they might be referring to that. And Michael Holding I destroyed once because he pitched it up. I think England might well have underestimated them. Myself and Andy Flower have differing opinions about resting and rotating players. I think if you are fit to play then you play, but he says he has got to pick a team and keep an eye on something coming up in six months' time too.I just think Test cricket needs to be more attractive, there is nothing wrong with the product, but it is the volume. There is just too much being played.The second person is Elton John, who showed a fantastic knowledge and interest in cricket. I remember him talking about a one-day international he had watched between Zimbabwe and West Indies and he was very interested in it.
