God help me - the Test Cricket thread

[crashlander]

Money has helped their decline, Stokes won't sign a long term test cricket deal because he wants the extra dough white ball cricket offers in particular the IPL and the Hundred. A lot of them are getting older and this will be a pattern that will hold England back, bazball produces short format players not test cricketers..

Indeed. Not a lot of new blood there. Mind you, we also appear very light on for good young players.
