Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[ElwoodBlues1]

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.

I dont think it is a crazy idea and IMO the richer test playing nations like India, England and us should contribute to a Windies academy...
Unlike the old days less Windies players are involved in county cricket hence they dont get to hone their techniques and it affects their ability to perform at test level.
Its just all T20 park cricket for them and the lucrative T20 comps around the world...they need incentive to train and play the longer form of the game....maybe some county cricket scholarships
would help as well as a modern academy staffed by past greats....
