Pete and Gid might have been a bit harsh about the second test. It was actually pretty close until day 4. Kavem looked a million dollars in first innings, Athanaze was old fashioned elegance, the joy on da Silva and Shamar's faces during their partnership was genuine and, as naive as it may seem, none of them seemed to be auditioning for the Abu Dhabi T10. Yep, the bowling was poor, esp Alzarri, but this is now the burden of test teams from the wastelands unless the leagues pay the ICC who set a min. wage for tests
Why should the leagues pay the boards? Did county cricket pay the boards for taking players? Man U wouldn’t pay my high school soccer coach if I get picked by them even though that coach and school might have developed me. Boards develop players for their own needs. If you don’t want IPL to take them; make them sign some sort of contract - and let players make a decision. Or if you want money from the T20 leagues, just become a wholly owned subsidiary farm system for the T20 leagues.
