Some dude wants to make test matches more attractive and ensure that 2020 does not destroy the traditional 5 day game.
Seems like a call to arms to me.
My way of saving test cricket, team nicknames.
Nothing is sexier than a team nickname, and at the moment the few nicknames that are out there are all sorts of crap.
New Zealand and Australia have nicknames based on hats.
South Africa has one named after a flower.
Only Bangladesh has a name that inspires t shirt merchandisers, the Tigers. Unfortunately no one wants to buy their t shirts.
In the spirit of fairness I gave all teams two names, and you can vote at IPLt5day.com for your team’s new name.
The new test cricket “franchise†names
Australian: Aussie assholes or Ricky’s Royals.
Bangladesh: Deshi fightin’ tigers or Banger’s Kittens .
England: Pommy professionals or the British Bullterriers.
India: Indian super royal king roayls or Indian Gods.
New Zealand: Peter Jackson present’s the New Zealand cricket team or Bazza’s Blingers.
Pakistan: Mules of Pakistan or Musharraf’s daredevils
South Africa: Kallis Knight riders or the saffa suffocaters
Sri Lanka: Kings XI Kumar or the Arjuna Angels.
West Indies: Caribbean kings or the Island knickerbockers.
If that doesn’t save test cricket I don’t know what will.www.cricketwithballs.com
