The Hundred 2023

Surely the biggest cricket event in England this summer was the ashes? Yet it was crammed into a stupid timeslot

Well, with the benefit of hindsight, maybe crammed into a very good time slot if it proves to be, as the medium range weather forecast suggests, the only dry warm bit of the summer. Would have been a bit shit playing it now. But I know what you mean.
 

This is costing cricket millions and that is the end product. I don't know whether to laugh about it or cry about it as it's going to cause issues down the line for the game given the cost to the ECB

I can’t stop laughing.

Issues created by FTECB indeed, but I still have enough faith in the good people of this country who love their domestic game enough for there to be sufficient interest and effort when the time comes to get it back on track.

There’s the rub.

If this succeeds county cricket as we know it is done as it supersedes it. If this fails county cricket as we know it is done as it bankrupts it. There is no good outcome.

Agreed. It's very worrying for the future as it is worrying that they're putting fake news spin on crowds with statements such as "filling up nicely".
 
Only just seen Robinson, Potts and Raine, De Leede not even in the f***ing Northern Pombears team yesterday.

Banton with the gloves so doubt Robinson even going to play much.

Even if as a batsman the form he's in he should be playing.

But they've got an Australian without any international caps playing.

So we're shafting our own potential England players for state level Aussie players. f***ing embarrassing.
