[QUOTE="An Tarbh, post: 279809"] Would they be having this discussion if England weren't such a poor one day side? I doubt it. I don't think major changes need to be made but one thing for certain is that the 50 over format has taken a back seat to Twenty20. One thing to improve the standing of 50 over cricket is to cut back on the overkill of Twenty20. Thankfully the idea of 2 Twenty20 tournaments in the English domestic season was rightfully scrapped. I don't see the need for this Twenty20 Champions League when we already have the IPL. Overkill can also apply to the 50 over format as a 7 match series was an absolute joke. England have been playing cricket non-stop since May and even then there wasn't much of a break between the end of the ODI series in the Caribbean and the first test at Lords. 2 Twenty20s and 3 ODIs would have been more than enough but the problem is that money talks and there doesn't appear to be much chance of England's playing schedule being reduced.
