Which non-test playing nations actually have a big cricket following?
The two that I know are Namibia and Bermuda.
Cricket is big in Namibia (due to the influence of South Africa) and I have spoken to an ex player of Bermuda who played in the 2007 World Cup who told me about the "Cup match" and how big the sport is in the country.
It's a pity that the ICC does not give these nations more games. They should easily let Namibia play in some of the warm-up games when teams tour SA and easily do the same for Bermuda when teams tour the West Indies.
Are there any other countries that we don't actually hear about in the cricket circles where the sport is actually big?

I think t20s have made tests more exciting.
If we think about t20s in general have given up and coming players more attacking mindset. And that translates to the captains too. I first realized this in cook's last test match I 2018. Pant and rahul were going for a target of more than 400 without thinking about squeezing put a draw. Teams these days, especially the Indian team go for the win even if there's a 20 percent chance of winning. And that's what made the Indian team win this test series and made them competitive in the England tour in 2018. The teams of past under dhoni, while being good would've pretty much gone for the draw.

How cool would that be?
The way I would want it to work, is after the test championship is over, the captains of the winning and 2nd place teams are made the two captains. They then take turns choosing players to make their teams.
Maybe there could be a cap on players from countries, so one team can only have 3 players from each country.
Imagine Warner, Elgar, Pujara, And Williamson, facing up against the bowling of Cummins, Bumrah, Anderson, and Ashwin! That would be really cool!

Cricket Boards are sitting on untapped and super interesting content
Hello,
I watched a couple of videos by Ashwin on Youtube. I understand that the recent series was great and hence had a lot of talking points. But, it got me thinking: What if all the cricket boards officially gave access to interview support staff and players in this format. Not only is it making the players answer real and interesting questions (besides the standard 2 to 3 questions that you can ask post-match), but also allowing the support staff who have some amazing stories to come to the fore.
Maybe somebody from BCCI is reading this and can see the the views on Ashiwn's channel are far more on their channel :-). I am sure other boards have a similar opportunities (would love an interview with Root, Williamson and Paine after the series each of them have had). That is all i had to say.

Key takeaways for India from the Eng-SL series
So what are the learnings India can take from the Eng whitewash of Sri Lanka-
1) Dom Bess and Jack Leach are unable to sustain pressure
Despite ending the series with a combined 22 wickets to their name,it was quite clear that they were unable to sustain pressure for long periods. They(Bess and Leach)ended the series with economy rates of 2.99 and 3.20,providing a boundary opportunity every over. Their in disciple was at full display in the first innings of second test when James Anderson had to bowl more overs than Bess to regain control. India would certainly be licking their lips at the prospect of milking free runs off the duo.
2)Preparing rank turners would be erroneous
India should resist the temptation to prepare rank turners because of two reasons, one it makes the toss an absolute lottery,team that wins the toss become instant favourites,two because it helps bridge the gap between skillset of spinners. Bess or Leach who might struggle on a good batting deck would fancy themselves on rank turners like the Galle second test. India should therefore make good batting tops that disintegrate slowly to gain an edge over the English,like they prepared during the last home season or the 2016 tour of England for this takes their spinners out of the equation making it a bat off between the two teams.
3)The openers struggle against spin
Sibley and Crawley were dismissed 7 times in the series,all to the left arm spin of Embuldeniya. While Crawley had problems with his stride,Sibley was caught stuck at the crease and bringing all the dismissals into play(got out bowled once,leg before once and caught at slips once). Even the regular opener Rory Burns is vulnerable against quality off spin. India could start with spin from one end and pace from the other to exploit the weakness.
4)A different duo might be more dangerous
The veteran duo of Stuart Broad and James Anderson ran havoc on a Galle pitch that had nothing in it for the pacers. They are probably bowling the best they have ever in Asia and have prompted a question,can the duo play together given the pitch reports suggesting more assistance for the seamers. Whether or not they can replicate the feats of someone like a Steyn in India might be doubtful but they can very well be the biggest thorn in India's way.
5)Joe Root-The sweeper
Joe Root swept and swept and swept his path to glory on Sri Lanka scoring two big hundreds. He used the sweep not just as an attacking option but also to rotate strike. So ridiculously good is Joe Root with the sweep that the second innings dismissal in the second test marked his first dismissal playing the sweep in 4 years and 220 attempts. Having successfully devised a plan to hinder the rhythm of Marnus and Smith in Australia,it will be interesting as to how India and Ashwin in particular tackle the sweeper in Root.
6)The Buttler-Bairstow absence leads to uncertainty
By the time the first test ends,India would have seen the back of the two JBs,who were on current form the second and third best players of spin in their lineup. Both of them played invaluable knocks under pressure,and their authority was overshadowed by only Joe Root from either side. Their absence makes the middle order fragile. Yes Stokes would be back,but all the others-Zak Crawley,Ollie Pope,Ben Foakes,Dan Lawrence haven't played a single test in India and two of them come on the back of no match practice. Thus India has a great opportunity in the first two tests as Root and Stokes have to score the bulk of runs in the middle order.

Innings break podcast Season 2 Episode 3: India-Australia and South Africa-Pakistan upcoming series
Hello All,
Ouch for Australian fans and Yay for Indian fans. What a comeback from the first test when we heavily criticize India from our last episode, India gets its redemption. We go into detail test by test and praise and criticize whatever we could.
We review what does South Africa and Pakistan's upcoming Pakistan's home series. Hoping who will shine from 35-year-old debutant to Barber Azam captaincy and all the way from Yasir Shah being the only Pakistan spinner. We feel Pakistan has a good hand for its home advantage.
u/Rav-Rs, u/aagg6, and your favorite former mod and Redditor foothill is here in audio. If you miss him, listen to him.
