Linda Agran, a woman who once worked at the travel office at Dunlop who went on to create TV shows such as London's Burning, Minder, Widows and Poriot, offers up test cricket. Agran argues that it is best than the one-day game, arguing that if people can watch TV boxsets the they can watch a five-day game.
