Agree all of cricket need to do serious thinking about the amount of international cricket that's played everywhere too much IMO.We used to get 1 nation touring each season now its 2 and sometimes 3 side visit for test matches or limited over game.
Sunday 21st September is the last England game of the summer, it's insane. Started on 29th May and we all know it would have been earlier if it wasn't for the IPL.
Thats 21 games, and that includes nothing in August because the world has to stop for the Hundred. Remember when they claimed last summers lack of England games was just a quirk of the fixtures. Bit of a coincidence its happened 2 years in a row.
Then there's only a month off before the Ashes start. It's non stop and that means nothing is really an event anymore. I remember listening to a podcast a few years back talking about T20 and how it had become background noise. A never ending parade of games nobody is really paying attention to. Even at international level now there's a World Cup of some sort every year.
They've taken that over saturation model and applied it to everything but they only want the big 3 involved. Everyone else is left to feast on scraps.
West Indies are fading away before our eyes, South Africa are world test champions with no home test matches scheduled because they can't afford to stage them. The 'lesser' nations are going backwards because nobody wants to play them. Complete mess.
