Lrrr

Tom Abell is a red He was at the game tonight, someone I used to play cricket with is an S&C guy down there and was on his instagram

Just wondering, if it had just been 8 teams (rather than franchises so BBL style) named after the cities and a standard T20 format would people have been more interested/willing to go watch or still set against it?

Bet the guys in charge of advertising for the 100 are pissed Gayle didn't get drafted, makes their job harder

While still impressive read some stuff online and curious as to how much difference it could have made to his time, the revolving pace setters infront of him in a v shape supposedly for aerodynamics, the green laser dot for them to keep them on the best line and the trainers he used which according to someone in the business for that makes it feel like you're running downhill due to the technology in them, apparently for marathons a rule (which correct if wrong) is that runners are required to have shoes that are openly and reasonably accessible to general runners, which the shoes he was wearing sounds like they may not have been. As said just curious how much the above factors could have influenced the time and given he was under by 20 seconds is the sub 2 hour marathon (in a marathon) still some way off?

To me Dom would be the big announcement to finish this string of news with Also Banton signed for Brisbane Heat for BBL, ABD, Lynn and Banton in one team...

Perfect day for this account https://twitter.com/NoContextHearn

The superchargers first game is very flat

Just looking at the team names, I can't wait for the oval invincibles to lose every game....

Banton mentioning in his sky interview about Somerset fans not liking the name and that perhaps it should have been called western instead, good on him.

IF this happened it would be the equivalent of 'AAGGGGUUUUUEEEERROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO'

Cook tying his shoe laces after an over ?

Umpires have to be strict on Essex time wasting, play was supposed to start at 20 past apparently so they've already wasted nearly 3 minutes Spinners on shouldn't be a problem either

Anyone know why last play is 17:30? Given the amount of time lost haven't other days finished at 18:00/18:30?

Horrible situation for Essex batsman, play some shots to try and win or block out

Essex 9/2 to win the match not a bad bet potentially

So get the last 3 for practically nothing, declare and send Essex back in and try and bowl them out in an hour....? Last 2 even

19 to go!

Boundaries

ECB making a mockery of the county championship with it almost being played in October

So whoever wins it wins a double

Sibley hits 215 and 109 for Warwickshire, on the plane for me

See Somerset's player of the season vote is public, let me guess the pakistani fans will see Babar wins it

I've long felt that we should have three 6 team divisions for 4 day and 1 day cricket (2 up, 2 down) with T20 either having a 2 group or 3 group system for 14 or 12 group games, however I would want to see the system brought in where 3 teams play each other over the course of the day (A v B, A v C, C v B) as fans get to see more cricket and it means less days in the county schedule, we do that sort of day for finals day so no reason why we couldn't do it domestically, just make sure the teams are local ie Somerset, Gloucestershire, Glamorgan, Worcestershire, Hampshire and maybe Warwickshire, pick 3 out of that.

There's no problem with 18 counties its simply the formatting that is the problem, creating a 4th domestic competition means some players are simply playing too much cricket and having to flip flap between different formats rather than being able to focus on one.
