Alex Stewart on the Kookaburra. Now whose opinion do I respect? Key or Stewart.
no brainer.
People who want it, Keysy [Rob Key], will say it brings the spinners in, but it only brings the spinners in because it offers nothing else. It goes soft. And he says it’s about making more fast bowlers. You can’t make a fast bowler, in my opinion. You can’t turn a marathon runner into Usain Bolt. It just doesn’t happen. So if he’s adamant on the Kookaburra, you have to play it for a whole season.

“But give the counties at least 12 months notice to plan their squads accordingly or not play with it at all. I went back to him straight away and said, ‘Are you ever going to play Test matches in England with a Kookaburra?’ The answer is no. So why is the domestic game playing with a ball that we’re never going to play with here?”

He's spot in.

Makes no sense at all to use a kookaburra in the way it's being used at present.

Hopefully this stupid experiment is ditched for next season.

Always loved Stewie.
 
New Road under water again. Got to fear for the future of Worcestershire.

The ECB will be more than happy if there is one less non test ground county to deal with.

Not sure how they can keep footing the bill of climate change and if they had to move the cost of a new ground.
