    Mr flower wants them to be at the top for years.

    test finals in 2 or 3 years and its at Lords i think. also think its a timeless test.

    They cannot get any higher mate, only stay at the top, there is no higher to get to!

    What are the test finals mate, I havent heard of those?
    Are we having a Test World Cup? 5 day matches would be a new thing to have.

    top 2 teams in icc rankings in tests play each other in 2/3 years at lords.

    last time england played a timeless test it was in south africa and i think it lasted 9 days and it ended a tie because england had to leave because they would have missed boat back.

    i think strass and flower want this side to be one of the best ever. eg aussies in mid 90 early 00 or wi in 80s.

    So they want to play a test out to the death, no time limit?
    I reckon that will be a good idea. Prove which one is best, but the should do it on a home and away basis though, make it fairer, in my opinion.

    yes to say hes the best in thay 4/5 years.

    test will change a lot in the next few years from what they are talking out.

    maybe a league system where top 6 play each other home and away. bottom 6 play each other home and away.

    top 6 play bottom 6 away to make it fair.
    promotion/ relegation but a problem with that is england have tours planned up to 2018/2019.
