What we’ve also learned today is that Yorkshire aren’t a top 6 side.

Yes i'd expect some compromise but 10 games in the championship is too few, maybe 12 would be enough, I don't like the 50 over comp being straight knock out either to be honest.

There will never be a perfect system, I have been a cricket lover for over 30 years and every year there are complaints about the schedule, the main issue in this country is too many counties.

Indeed, no room for Middlesex…

Are they completely out of the relegation woods?

Are they completely out of the relegation woods?

Not sure, but when there new rules come in, they need to be in the lowest division possible.

England 66 for 2 from 9 overs

 

[waspish]

80-2 anything over 170 should be enough

Not quite.
Warwickshire have to win at home to Hampshire and also exceed Yorkshires bonus points.
Yorkshire also have to lose at home to already relegated Gloucs.
Kent could also go down if they don’t better Yorkshires points in the last game.
Just need to wait for Mr Tash to correct me :-)

I haven’t checked and will trust you.

I’m still working on Tudor pads. The metal ones are a bit “clunky”.

What is it with these cringy adverts every 2 minutes. The sensodyne one makes me want to throw up every time they do it

 

[waspish]

Well think England have enough here 186-6 4 balls left

With Pakistan they are either absolutely brilliant or absolutely shite.

There is no Inbetween with them

I don't think it will win enough support to be honest to get through i'd expect a "plan b" sometime next year

Probably been designed as a starting position and horse trading will have been planned for to get something similar.

I knew the proposal was going to be massively unpopular when Andrew Strauss was doing damage control on TMS before they'd even been announced a few months ago. A lot of talk about how a proposal is just a proposal and they can't impose anything on the counties but they need to work with the ECB etc.

Errrrr Pakistan looks like they got this fair do’s they’ve battered brilliantly plus that drop catch could of made a difference

England needed to wear their tudor wigs.

It’d be funny if they didn’t reach their target with 0 wickets down.

Unlikely, but still…

Babar Azam is one hell of a Cricketer or Bavarian Adam according to autocorrect:-)

It’d have taken 28 Lancs wickets to get this score!

 

[waspish]

I blame Hales he took that catch we would of won comfortably

I really think there is mileage in this Tudor Cricket idea.
T25 or Tudor 25 sounds about right.
Also between innings we could have the Mobility Scooter jousting where members of the public have to try and remove Mike Gatting from his seat.
