One Day Cup Final - Glamorgan v Somerset


Start the t20 in May, get the finals day done in early June. Championship April, May, June, first week of July. Test matches second week of July to second week of August.

16.4 second week of August to last weekend of august. Then first week of September finish until end of September Championship

They may as well pack the fifty over in as the international team does not care a jot
 
Reduced to a T20 it is.

Fitting our domestic 50 over final is reduced to the format that is more likely to get these players selected for England.

A bit of a farce having the 50 over final being played out as a T20 infront of an damp empty stadium in Autumn. Well done ECB

"ECB couldn't give a ****. I think every final since the Hundred has been on a sunday at Trent Bridge(this was wrong 2021 Thursday(2/3 days after semi), 2022 Saturday, 2023 Saturday)

A harder ground to get to than Lords for most counties in the country.

It's clear everything the ECB has done with the Hundred and the rest of the domestic game is to force counties into accepting IPL buyouts.

Relegate the CC season to April and September. Have their international white ball games in Autumn.

Play the blast over several months and stick barely any of it on TV. Make the one day cup secondary to the Hundred and effectively a second XI competition.

So counties make less money and then have to accept their IPL overlords generous offers."

Then to add to the what I said I'm baffled as to why this game couldn't have been played on saturday.

Notts surely could have hosted another game two days after their ODI, considering the semi's were in f***ing August and they had over a month to sort this.

But then lends itself to the ECB intent on f***ing over domestic cricket.

Exactly, there's no surprise that the final two ODI's have not sold out either. You can't blame people not wanting to shell out neigh on £100 to sit there all day in Autumn with a big coat on, and that's not even taking into account school and work commitments, aswell as other sport clashes like football. Ultimately it's Durham and Gloucester who will lose out financially, just like Notts probably have this weekend, but as we all know the ECB couldn't give a damn about that.
