Good stuff. Would imagine there’ll be a stream available and going off that ‘format’ it would appear that means the cricket which will follow from 1 August will involve a red ball and white clothing.

Talk of a regional red ball competition and a T20 competition.

Wonder how counties will be impacted by the availability of overseas/kolpak players.

I hope they can come up with some kind of competition rather than friendlies. What about in place of championship 3 groups of six counties based on geographical areas then a final between best two group winners or if they have time semi finals with all 3 group winners and best runner up.

Champion! Well it took me 5 minutes, it might take him and his fellow administrators a bit longer to organise. I reckon they could do it probably all depends on how much T20 they have to play. Sadly hot s gut feeling that will take priority.

Both really, as grounds seem full watching it, especially grounds like The oval on a Friday night, and T20 finals day a great days entertainment imo.

Personally with a maximum of 2 months cricket and a county member I would prefer a 4 day match each week and perhaps 1 T20 game rather than even 5 T20 matches in a week. But really just delighted there is going to be some cricket played.
 
I have heard 4 or 5 of the poorer counties are dead against any red ball cricket, so fingers crossed something is done to sort that.
 
Wonder if spectators will be allowed entry to the 4 day games? Could be tempted - Been told i'm going to be furloughed till at least the 31st July with a ever increasing possibility of being served 3 months notice at that time - so I'll be off until October. Might be able to watch some cricket then!

It is classed as Derbyshire's home game but being played at Emirates. Derby can't hold any games due to Pakistan being based there.

Spot on cheers, well makes sense. Just silly for the beeb to show it that way if the games played at our place.
