One Day Cup Final - Hampshire v Worcestershire

[Aidan11]

CC games start on Wednesday this week.

Ah yes. Totally forgot about that.

I'd like to see this tournament go back to a straight knockout tournament with the minor counties entering the first round like they used to.

That would ease a bit of fixture congestion.

Ssh! Can't have anything that is popular and deflect focus from The Hundred.

Counties potentially playing one game a year in it will make the exposure of players to the format even worse.

??Most of the better white ball players don't play any 50 overs cricket under the current system .

 

[Struts]

They’ve just had a replay of an old final at Lords with a good, healthy & vocal crowd at Lords. Makes me sick what the ECB have done to Cricket in this country.

No thanks.

45 overs a side won't be a bad game if there is no more rain delays



btw, I heard a scary rumour that strictly is back tonight mate

I’m well aware of that, but those on the pathway do. So under the ‘knockout’ proposal it would get even worse.

Those on the pathway currently never experience high level 50 over cricket. How do you get worse than never?

Hampshire 237/7.

Are we all hoping for a Worcestershire victory?

Apart from someone like Bethell who’s basically skipped county cricket most 18-21 year olds will get a grounding in the current comp.

It’s a crap scenario but my thoughts are that a knockout comp will eliminate opportunities even further.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

A strange decision to hold a major domestic trophy 11 days before October man

 

[Silly Point]

I say every time I'm never taking notice of the forecast again yet always fall for it. Thank fuck my second choice (the Hull game) went well. Still wanted a last cricket fix though.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

This is a bit of a mockery tbh

 

[mackembhoy]

Been at the pub just turned on to see 3 wides bowled and only 1 signalled.

DLS doesn't factor in the conditions so a ridiculously tough ask of Worcs.

 

[FatCat2402]

Well that was brilliant. What a finish

 

[Durham-Mackem41]

Get that into you Hampshire scum love to see it!

 

[Silly Point]

Shit day all round for Hampshire Apart from Aldershot

 

[Anthly]

Embarrassing what the ECB have done to this once proud competition. Not even 3000 in for a domestic final.

Having been at Lords when we beat Hampshire it’s really sad to see. Was an amazing day out as a Durham fan.

The ECB should schedule the crappy 100 to be played in September.
Agree totally , the ECB have deliberately ruined this competition/ format.

 

[Inside Forward]

Get in Worcestershire.

Hopefully an even shitier week next week.
