Sounds like basic instructions on how to use a dildo.Press the button, open your flap, and off you zoom.
I don’t know the numbers but I expect the organisers do. One can only conclude that evening viewing in India (and advertising income) trumps all.I think the biggest market for cricket is in India, The TV rights overseas will be a drop in the ocean, So playing an ODI final in India with an early start would not have been a problem,

It was on Sunday so should have been an early start really, the organisers are not the brightest bunch, Having a daft league format that went on the a month and half and Stadiums empty for the rest of the games that did not involve India.

Notice how the cameras panned to him a lot during the Indian batting phase?
He was ready with his speech to lift the trophy with the players and the Aussies literally pissed all over that plan.

It is insane how the final was played in a stadium named after him. I don't even understand how do you name a stadium by the name of the incumbent Prime Minister. The final should've been played in Bombay / Calcutta, where true fans of the game reside.It was another Modi vanity project.

Wonder if Hampshire might rename their ground the Boris Bowl.It is insane how the final was played in a stadium named after him.

Fixtures out on Thursday, hope to get a to a new out ground or Lord's in August as not been there for an A List since 2009.
Lancashire still have the contract with Sedbergh School in the Yorkshire Dales, which I will avoid, but expecting Birkdale and Blackpool games.
It is great planning days out 8 or 9 months ahead with a 49% chance of being ruined by the weather :)

I've never really looked into it, but it's a lot more complicated than the "Yorkshire Dales", it is in the YD national park, but it was originally part of Cumberland, then the west Riding of Yorkshire, then Cumbria.Lancashire still have the contract with Sedbergh School in the Yorkshire Dales, which I will avoid
It's definitely west of the Pennine watershed though, and it actually now falls under Westmorland and Furness local authority.
It's postcode is LA10, definitely Lancashire.
It also looks a nice place for cricket :)

Bought T20 tickets for my son in law and grandson next September- England v Australia as Xmas presents.
Historic Yorkshire, was near the Westmorland boundary, now in the new Westmorland and Furness council having been put in Cumbria.I've never really looked into it, but it's a lot more complicated than the "Yorkshire Dales", it is in the YD national park, but it was originally part of Cumberland, then the west Riding of Yorkshire, then Cumbria.

Lancashire play there as it is a feeder school, but players tend to go to Durham also. It looks nice but inaccessible by public transport, the drainage is very poor and poor facilities for the fans.

Watching the India Australia T20 and noticing that the stadium announcer is announcing in English. Is that common?

County Championship fixtures announced. Not terribly imaginative, with Lancashire opening by hosting champions Surrey, exactly the same as last year.
8 points for the draw again, 4 rounds of the Kookaburra ball, up from 2, and another 6 weeks of summer with no four-day cricket.

On another note, is Lancashire’s game against Durham at Sedbergh, Cumbria, a home or an away game?

We do play there each year. It’s a bone of contention, for sure.Did they not play that game there in 2019 as well?

Just pandering to the Hundred until that contract expires I suppose. The longer format will endure.Feels like the game is evolving and that the longer formats are dying out.
