So the ultimate is one team?

The ultimate would be two teams. 22 of England's most highly skilled players battling it our for an England spot. It's the main reason why regional cricket is mooted, as the 3-4 regional teams would be the elite of the elite, so to speak.

One comment heard listening to TMS over the Test match is that some feel the pitch should be longer than 22 yards now that bowlers are more powerful than they were in yester years. But wouldn't this make it more difficult to be accurate?

It's a batsman's game as it is - without lengthening the pitch! That one's right up there with bringing back 3 day championship matches.
