ralphindevon Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 4 of the 5 matches today were thrillers that went down to the wire. Anyone who feels the need for the 100 tournament to gain an interest in cricket are barking up the wrong tree. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s hope Glos/Som can finish 1/2 and progress to Div 1 Division 1? I thought we got promoted to division one last season? I’ve obviously missed a reshuffle along the way. What league are we?

Northern Red Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 1 hour ago, TomF said: Oh it’s all confusing but we’re in groups at mo. Whoever finishes 1st and 2nd in each group goes into L1 and plays everyone in the group except the team from the same group. Whoever finishes top in that second group wins the CC. Div 2 and 3 are for those who finish 3/4 and 5/6 respectively I have a feeling they might stick with this format going forward, quite a few of the counties have come out in favour of it. Gives every team a chance of winning the title at the start of the season and allows them to blood youngsters without the stress of promotion and relegation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILINFRANCE Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 5 hours ago, TomF said: I agree and I like the format. It gives everyone a chance and we don’t just play the same 6-8 teams every year. Great to see sides like Durham bouncing back after the ECB screwed them over And, of course, had they not been forced to play on in what was almost darkness against Essex back in April, losing four late first innings wickets in as many overs in the process, they would probably have won and screwed Essex to boot.

Gives every team a chance of winning the title at the start of the season and allows them to blood youngsters without the stress of promotion and relegation. I'm also in favour of the new format, not just for those reasons you mention, but I really like the regularity of games every week. I'm sure the players are the same. Playing County Cricket in blocks like this without the distraction of white-ball cricket promotes focus and allows players to hone their craft. It can only be a good thing, especially for England. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 It appears that the Sky coverage of the Glos game is being taken from Middlesex's web stream, therefore it's not going to be as slick as it would be if Sky were broadcasting it themselves. Similar in a way to the football they show on the red button - better than nothing but not absolutely ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm convinced had this not been on Sky, we'd have got at least two decisions. Makes the lack of a replay a bit ironic, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still better coverage than we get from the County Ground though, more camera angle and you can see the ball after it has passed the bat.

Yeah, Abbot had two seasons at Clevedon in 2008 and 2009. He was more of a batting all-rounder at that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
