Ian Chappell has been scathing of the Windies.....dont reckon they will exist in 5 years time, their islands are more interested in their own Premier league games and T20 cricket and of course their decent players only want to play IPL....
ICC need to find another test playing nation....
This might sound like a crazy idea, but I think CA should consider buying or setting up a cricket academy in the Windies.
They have a rich history and the Oz public has always gone to watch them in droves.
The revenue lost in crowds and TV audiences dropping off would be costing a lot more.
