Two-tier Test cricket?
With Bangladesh's second Test win in Sri Lanka, they're narrowing the gap on the West Indies. And Sri Lanka are in decline.

The test rankings. ...

1) India 121
2) Australia 109
3) South Africa 107
4) England 101
5) New Zealand 98
6) Pakistan 97

The growing gap...and then:

7) Sri Lanka 90
8 ) west indies 69
9) Bangladesh 66

There is a de facto two tier system already in test cricket.

The top six....

India
Australia
South Africa
England
Pakistan
New Zealand

The bottom four. ....

Sri Lanka
West indies
Bangladesh
Zimbabwe

Give Afghanistan and Ireland test status and formalise the two tier system. The bottom teams can give the top six a fight at home only so IMHO that's how our fixtures should be in future. Play home and away against the bottom six and play at home only against the top six.
