Would be excelent for cricket if their was an american side in the EPL,steve messiah would be in the side,carry a few imprts they could be competitive.
Big selling point in america for cricket if its the case.

I agree but there are better teams ahead of them. Canada, Ireland, Scotland?

Wat are the advantages & disadvantages we face by having two divs in Test Status?

Div 1:
1) Australia
2) India
3) England
4) South Africa
5) Pakistan
6) West Indies
7) Srilanka
8) New Zealand

Div 2:
1) Bangladesh
2) Zimbabwe
3) Ireland
4) Kenya
5) Scotland
6) Namibia

Each nation plays each other once at home & away. Top from div 2 should play bottom from div 1 for promotion.

Puts 'marquee' series like the ashes in jeopardy if England and Australia should end up in different dividions. Otherwise it could help the underexposed nations just below the current bg 8 immensely if second division tests are taken seriously enough.
