    World Cup to be overhauled

    By Will last year, at the start of December, 5 Comments »

    From Cricinfo:

    Cricket Australia have already said they would welcome a shorter version, following this year’s inflated 47-day tournament which turned many off, and they’re not the only board thinking that way.

    A CA spokesman, Peter Young, told Sydney’s Daily Telegraph on Thursday: “We support a shorter tournament. Most nations do now.”

    Encouraging, if overdue - and frankly, the best solution would be to cast it into oblivion for good; introduce a Test-match Championship spread over two years, with a Twenty20 Championship in place of the World Cup.
