Tim Wigmore’s new and authoritative book Test Cricket: A History was an ideal psychological preparation for the new Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack .

He stresses that there have always been unsavoury aspects to what he several times calls the “brutal” game of Test cricket.

These days the accusations of sharp practice these days are more focused on the people who run the game rather than those who play it.

Booth is right to turn a fierce spotlight on Shah .

He could redistribute money to poorer countries struggling to stay in Test cricket.

But without a coherent international marketing plan and the revival of first -class cricket in those countries, it will not work.

T20 will never be resolved until T20 is entirely separated from first class cricket.
