Now, look, it's enormously difficult.

It's almost impossible, but it might be worth thinking about.

It might have been thought about already.

It might be in the Boston Consulting Group report.

I agree with Todd there.

I lived through the, I think the worst of the integrity issues there with three captains of the Test Playing Nations being banned for life.

So cricket has a sensitive relationship with betting.

I think they've got the balance right at the moment and I wouldn't like to see it any more involved with sports wagering.

Perhaps the starting point there, Gerard, is Test cricket needs something else with it.

The game can't survive with just Test cricket, can it?

Few countries can sustain it.

I think some of the countries that have recently achieved Test status, they'll struggle there.

So Ireland, Afghanistan, I'm not sure who else, I've forgotten who else has got it recently.

Scotland, I think.

They'll struggle.

So I think, as I said, there'll be fewer countries playing Test cricket.

I think the traditional test-playing cricket countries, so Australia, England, India, Pakistan, South Africa, New Zealand, West Indies maybe.
