Taken from elsewhere:
Having invested in a County lifetime membership a couple of years ago, it is only right that I should thank you gentlemen for wrecking the domestic cricket season.
Thank you for absolutely ruining the enjoyment of fans across the Country by your utter desecration of the scheduling of the County Championship.
Thank you for taking the premier domestic cricket tournament and relegating it to the absolute bowel ends of the season, with lousy weather and when few have the time to attend anyway.
Thank you for spending barely anything on marketing the County Championship, and for not giving a damn about the consequences.
Thank you also for your utterly ridiculous scheduling of the RLODC , with only a couple of days between quarter and semi finals and for the nonsensical decision to strip the 50 over competition of ‘list A’ status from 2020. Truly an astute and wise way to celebrate England winning the World Cup.
Thank you for taking such care in scheduling the season such that many County grounds sit empty, devoid of any cricket for weeks on end in peak summer.
Thank you for disenfranchising vast swathes of cricket fans from the North East to the South West, by excluding their involvement in any way from your ridiculous new franchise tournament, that absolutely no-one wants, but which will shred the County season still further.
Thank you for spending millions of pounds of scarce money on this ill conceived, dreadfully planned and financially reckless jamboree in your pursuit of people who don’t even like the game of cricket, whilst perversely choosing not to promote the game to those who do !
Thank you for hiding shamelessly behind your desks at the ECB HQ, avoiding direct contact with supporters of County Cricket, thereby seeking to avoid the forthright opinions and home truths you would undoubtedly receive.
But most of all, thank you for your absolutely grotesque ineptitude and the utter contempt you display for fans of the game you are supposed to represent.
The ECB under your stewardship is an utter disgrace to the game of cricket.
