A perfectly decent question.
Russia. A large country with quite a big population to choose from.
Much of the country is urban so there should be a plethora of cricket teams for a Sunday game.
Russia has a long history of sporting excellence in other sports so why not cricket.
Surely during the Cold War someone at the Kremlin should have had the idea that rather than attempt to steal national secrets to gain industrial supremacy all that they needed to do was to perfect a team capable of humbling England at it's own game.
This would destabilise the Empire and throw England into chaos.
I can imagine a Bond villain sitting around a table discussing unacceptable run rates and how declaring before tea is something that only the British could do.
The KGB could implant a mole deep into the English Cricket team to destabilise them and pass on secrets.....although agent Pieterson is already suspected of doing as much.
All Russia have to do is appoint a decent English coach with decent experience to lead them....
....but they already have.
Vladamir Putin......leader of the Glorious Soviet Union.
