Strauss is the ECB and he has made absolutely no compromises in his report. The compromises are all on the counties, just like they always are. If you can show me in the report where it says something like: The 16.4 is the biggest threat to the game but I wasn't allowed to mention it. Or: I should have consulted players and coaches across the sport but I wasn't allowed because they would have given me answers we didn't want, I'll give Strauss credit.But you clearly intelligent enough to know that wasn’t in his remit.
As you say you knew that, you knew it wasn’t going to happen cancelling the hundred, you knew Strauss could not do that, as his employees would have told him that from the very beginning.
So surely in that respect from your point of view it is clearly the ECB to blame not Strauss.
Any employee can only work in his remit.
He was clearly trying to make a compromise from a very difficult situation with what he had to work with, you know that you have too.
Yet not even the slightest admittance of that from certain posters.
As for the other point, without new participation and new blood there is no game that is why it os soo important to get kids involved early as soo many other distractions
these days.
And imo the best way to do that is short colorful entertaining short form cricket in the best time for kids to watch.
Can you show me that? Or is the report just a load of preconceived bullshit?
And as for getting kids involved, you've taken the sport away from them completely for the peak summer months. It's insane.
T20 is played on an evening. Did you know that OT they used to have school trips? A few different schools at every home game. Straight after school onto a bus to the ground, have a game of quick cricket in the grounds, meet a player or two, watch the game, bus back. Everybody loved them. Can't do that now, kids aren't at school.
The best time to watch evening cricket is not necessarily in the school holidays. The best time to watch daytime cricket is definitely in the school holidays and to take it away is pure vandalism of the game.
I've replied again to you even though you don't give a shit about domestic red ball cricket. I do realise you are fixed in your views, your mind is made up and I've wasted my time.
