Yeah I agree about T20 been on bbc, but it would still need to be on in the middle of the summer the school holidays for example and really promote it big style to possible new fans.
We can’t just say some like cricket some don’t, otherwise the ones that don’t will and are increasing, then where does that leave the game.
Whichever where we look at it, imo whoever is in charge have to make attempts to improve participation of playing the game.
There is a lot of talk obout the county championship not been in the middle of the summer, and of course it’s understandable the frustrations of those fans.
But we have to be realistic, and I mean this with all respect, new fans are not going to be drawn to the game, watching a batsman bat all day, while people talk about good leaves and he knows where his off stump is, where there just might watching international stars hitting the ball out the park, and close tense exciting matches which the shorter format provides a hell of a lot more of.
Whether crickets traditional fans like it or not, cricket needs to be made more exciting!
You keep saying that cricket needs to be made more exciting which suggests to me that you only started watching the game circa 2003-2005!
