sharkyvilla Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Quest (a random TV channel that normally show fishing and other shite) is showing Sri Lanka v Australia today. I make it the first international match on free TV since the 05 Ashes. Almost brings a tear to the eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Also on Eurosports I think. Not free but only a £1 for this month and you get the US Open tennis for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Well, after being complete gash in the 4 day & t20 formats.. I'm hoping Warwickshire can put on a show for me at Lords Anyone else making the trip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 (edited) According to George Dobell, it seems the counties have voted in favour of franchises for the T20. Not sure how this can possibly get the backing of the smaller teams. Edited September 14, 2016 by Milfner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the idea is you have a tournament over a shorter period, and get in all the big hitters from world cricket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can see, the ECB will own the teams and will pay each county £1.5m guaranteed each year (a bit extra for the grounds hosting to cover costs), so it shouldn't in theory benefit the bigger counties more than the smaller ones. They should have done it years ago really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumerican Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Warwickshire looking good to win this final. Trott is a robot ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veloman Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Yep , Trott was excellent and so was Jeetan Patel. BUT ..... it is really the County Championship match against Wankashire that worries me ! This (easy) victory should be good for morale but I have heard that the ECB are requesting/instructing Woakes not to play ! Anyone know if this is correct and, if so, I wonder if Anderson will be allowed to play. Hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Happy days! Absolutely smashed Surrey! Very well played YOOOUUU BEEEAAARRRSSS!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 What a great day. Lords was nice. Had a 'selfie' with Sangakkara! We were sat with loads of Surrey fans, giving them light hearted stick, they took it well and shook our hands on way out. Evans with a vitally timed catch. Wickets taken at key points. Wright, Jeetan, Javid, Woakes and Hannon-Dalby bowled absolutely sublimely. Hain gave his wicket away with a silly sweep, Bells dismissal was disappointing, should have left it, but his captaincy was absolutely brilliant. Trott just pipped the bowlers to my MOTM, exactly the innings we needed him to have. Thought 220-250 would have been par for the track. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Not such a great day for the Bears today. Lancs on top, and Hampshire doing well enough against Durham at the moment. Might be time for a rain dance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veloman Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Well I did warn you dAVe80. They have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory too many times this year. Although he is Warks through and through, I think Dougie might struggle to hold on to his job if they do go down. PS Could the rain dance hold off until Thursday, it's the club training ride on Wednesdays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) Yes the day couldn't have gone much worse with Hampshire going well. We will need to win this one to stay up . So our fate could be decided tomorrow. Edited September 20, 2016 by PaulC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Lancs 79-5 approaching lunch, but Durham not going particularly well and they're already two down. Gonna be a tight one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dAVe80 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Bears 67 runs ahead at the half way stage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcTheObsession Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Let's post 250+ now and put the pressure on them chasing over 300 in the last innings. Loser of this game looks likely to go down as Hants are bossing it v Durham. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) What a final round of matches at top and bottom of the County Championship! Yorkshire needed to get to 350, and win. Play delayed for bad light with them on 349/9!! Durham avoiding the follow on has done us a favour. Would like us to get the win, and avoid all doubt though!

Milfner Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 Lead approaching 300 with four wickets left and with Durham's tail wagging plus a bit of bad weather knocking a couple hours out of the day's play has worked a treat. This is going suspiciously well... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
