Agnew giving Durham a kicking over Bancroft on 5 live xtra in a lunch time interview.
Actually gave county cricket a kicking.
Made some great points about all these overseas players arriving to play county cricket and if that is the case then why do we need 18 teams. He actually said the counties are playing into the hands of the 100 and that it is inevitable that the number of teams will be reduced if they can't produce their own players.He's a bellend in general
The logic seems a little cock-eyed.Made some great points about all these overseas players arriving to play county cricket and if that is the case then why do we need 18 teams.

The likes of Stokes will get through, the likes of Pringle and Richardson won't. I would also imagine that the new regional teams would be told to concentrate on producing players from their region and not be lazy and idle like a lot of counties who barely produce a England players per decade.The logic seems a little cock-eyed.
Counties can't produce players, actually they can but the South Africans who arrive are better.
So reduce the number of counties - but if the South Africans continue to arrive there will simply be fewer spots for players developed by the counties - and the problem continues.

Yes but you are looking just at Durham he is talking about county cricket in general. Durhams problem is not on the field it is off it. Yes they got shafted but they where also spending money they never had on players they could not afford between 2005 and 2010. Durhams problem is they can't raise the required revenue to have a squad if well paid players. It has been since the early days of bring a first class county.We produced our own players and got absolutely shit on from the ECB................
Its generally been the case since the 1970s that each county has had 2-3 overseas players and I don't see anything wrong with that. It leaves 140 or so places for England-qualified players and helps raise the standard. Agnew started his career when this was happening and must have learnt a lot from Winston Benjamin, George Ferris etc.Made some great points about all these overseas players arriving to play county cricket and if that is the case then why do we need 18 teams.

What the fuck is Agnew talking about? Counties have always had overseas players? He is a "better in my day" type, tit.
Perhaps he's forgotten when Warwickshire used to have Kanhai,Kallicharran,Gibbs and Murray in their side in the 70s.
What he is talking about is the number of overseas players playing as Englishmen on a " flag of convenience'
Especially those who have had their international careers with other countries already. It's a fair point.
