Isn't the problem that with 18 first class counties the talent is spread too thinly?
So the standard of County Championship cricket is too weak to provide good practice for Test match standard long form cricket. Australia only has about 6 states so their domestic teams are much closer in strength to Test teams than our county sides are.
