At least Williams is leaving……..very poor signing

He was fine when he first signed, but has gone badly downhill since for me.

Gloucestershire are welcome to him.

Originals fell apart once Buttler was out. He was the fifth out at 103 and Originals were all out for 112 16 balls later.

£80m to change them to the Super Giants.

Lanky have always done better than average in t20, innovated and led some years.

Obvious there will be pressure from the IPL owners to make the 100 the 120.

Lancs going well. 150/0 off 23 overs at Hove.

Yeah. First wicket went down the over after I posted.

Seems spin is the way forward on this surface.

I remember Simpson’s 311 in the OT test in 1964. Aus won the toss and batted till the middle of day 3 iirc. They scored over 600, then Eng did the same with a mighty innings from Barrington. Match was drawn with just a couple of overs of Aus second innings. Ridiculous.

Absolutely correct. After the fantastic test series this summer I was well up for more cricket but the hundred is terrible.

It’s so naff and fake I really can’t understand how it draws the crowds. I have absolutely no interest in watching it. It’s ruining a wonderful sport IMO.
