Five weeks without County Championship for this garbage.

Don't watch it, if the TV audience is dire, then it'll eventually get canned, no matter how many go to watch it live, as it's all about ad revenue.

Was watching up until the feed died at 180/3. Annoying

NZ 57/9 against England in the commonwealth tournament.

Morgan in a hurry here. 34 off 18 balls.

Roy continuing his form during all of the summer. Out first ball of the Invincibles' innings.

Yes so was I, they lost a bit of momentum when Wells and Bohannon were out, but they'd pretty much done the job between them.

First time Lancashire have 'played' two separate A list matches in north yorkshire on consecutive days.

Lancs, or what’s left of Lancs squad are channelling their inner 1975 today.

175/4 off 45 overs vs Derbyshire.

Had the pleasure of witnessing an epic game at the Oval today. Surrey reserves were struggling against Warwickshire,needing 10 an over with 5 wickets left.Ended in a breathless tied game.

To be fair they had a bad start 67-4 after 20 overs, but a brilliant unbeaten stand between Steven Croft and Rob Jones took them to 221-4, and they bowled Derbyshire out for 182, so another very good win.

Yeah, must have been a turgid wicket. Fair play to the lads.

Bairstow the latest to pull out of the Hundred due to workload (tests vs SA in two weeks).
With Stokes also withdrawing, maybe this is the watershed year on playing too much. I just don't trust the ECB to do anything sane, but how much was due to the delayed India test which they then tacked some 1 day stuff on.

Welsh Fire might be a bit irritated to find out just before it starts - I wonder who they'll find at short notice to fill in as one of their top players.

Whilst I applaud Bairstow with his stance it was very last minute.
Welsh Fire have already got by far the worst squad.

Interesting fact - No player from the Manchester Originals is from Manchester
Who's gonna make the final?

No Glamorgan players in the Welsh Fire team.
