Clive Lloyd calls for more Test cricket, prefers at least three-match series

The Hindu  

India and South Africa played out the shortest-ever Test cricket in just 107 overs at Cape Town, forcing the ICC to rate the pitch as “unsatisfactory”, however, Lloyd didn’t find anything wrong with the wicket. And if you’re playing Test cricket, I’d prefer three Test matches or five,” said the former West Indies skipper during an award function here. “Sure, it’s quite exciting, T20, but I don’t want to lose Test Cricket because of that.” “Didn’t find anything wrong with Cape Town wicket” =========== India and South Africa played out the shortest-ever Test cricket when the former emerged victorious within two days at Cape Town. “If you’re playing top-class cricket, you should be able to handle those sorts of things.” There is a huge divide in world cricket with India enjoying nearly 40 per cent of the ICC revenues.
