Imagine what it must do to more deserving players, it harms the ones selected, it harms those who should have been selected, it gives poor results and it drives the fans away.

I dunno if it harms the ones selected. It should, but after about 40 games it becomes your birthright.

half way through Dean at stumps interview with Andy Flower.
Some points his made about the under 19, which will be true for the national team too.
1. Players need better exposure to higher quality competition.
2. Players need to have higher quality training procedures.
3. The domestic structure needs top organised better. I.e clearer pathways, set times when the season starts.
Also spoke about the 100 in England and even though i dont like the format, its been a huge business success.
Also believes Grant is ready to coach the national side.
He also finished with he would never say no to coming back to Zim. He did say say for Zim to improve it needs changes in leadership, organisation and structure of the game. So I guess we can rule him out.
