I'm interested in the test series against England, South Africa, India and New Zealand and not much else. ODI's are mildly entertaining on a hot day in summer when it's on the box, but I wouldn't bother watching one from O/S. T20 means nothing to me.

A four yearly program would allow each team to play each other team at least once home and away and also allow the big events such as the ashes to remain untouched. Whilst giving context to the lesser contests where interest is waning
All test series should be played a minimum of 3 tests, or they may lose too much appeal Bangas and Aussies ended up 1-1, would have been nice to have a 3rd test

Yep agreed, at least three or five. None of this two test series bullsh!t.

A four yearly program?
That would mean absolutely nothing.
Yeah, just like the World Cup means nothing.
Oh yeah, and the Olympics
They are tournaments. Test Cricket cannot be measured by a tournament. It would take years.
