England sqaud looks terrible.

You in the sweepstake?

[Ollie the Optimist]

world cups should be every four years, not every two. there is far to much t20 right now.

[Cripps_orig]

I havent seen a T20 game from first ball to last since the final 2 years ago so not enough for me

[Dennis Bendtner]

world cups should be every four years, not every two. there is far to much t20 right now.

It's about right. Every four years would give it a prestige it doesn't merit. A bit of village is harmless. There isn't that much international T20 really. They are getting rid of the Champions Trophy from next year. Would be good if that proposed Test championship ever got going.
