This is it imo. Don’t be embarrassed about what cricket is. Get eyes on it and get the game moving and it doesn’t need anything else

Is it just a way of sneaking franchise cricket past the counties? I think Dobell’s last article touched on that, and it seems that way to me.

Notts are flying so far, a much needed tight over from Johal who looked to be getting some movement followed by a mistimed shot off Yates the next for a breakthrough.

Can’t imagine toddling off down to your local ground and rooting against players you regularly cheer on for your county.

Bit ridiculous really.

Everyone just did this in the euros :grinning:

I’ve slept since then, but were any Euros games in England at club grounds?

Disappointing result in the end, few good knocks from both sides. Main moment of the game though was Ben Slater taking a catch on and over the boundary, which he claimed and was given out. Rightly so got a fair bit of stick. He later dropped an easy catch in the deep to great cheers and then a misfield for four.

Just so I know I have got this right. The blast which is a really good comp but struggles to connect because the well known England players don’t get to play in it has now been replaced by the hundred which will now lose all the England players as well?

#4465

And also run alongside the One Day Cup, no?

Trying to just roll with it, but they’ve not really addressed any of the issues with the Blast have they?

Twitter says it’s the only ball he’s ever faced from him in any form of cricket :man_cook::kiss:

Yeah been trying hard not to get down on it and be positive but just feels like they could of rebranded the blast and thrown in some of time saving things which they have implemented here which are good ideas

Also just so many numbers on the screen at one time, doesn’t need to look this complicated

The cynical take is that they’re doing this to get into a franchise T20 league, bypassing the county system while they do so.

Still, this game is “interestingly” poised. Like, you’d expect the popchips to win this, but Rashid’s no mug, and you would expect Hales to kick off at some point.

Ha, Adil Rashid had gone for 1 off his first 10 balls, and Rashid Khan has just hit him for 10 off 2 balls. Lovely stuff.

Come on nerds, there’s cricket to watch on YouTube!

Ah wait fuck, Rashid’s out BOOOO
