Is still about 20 odd group games left. They cannot be attracting many casual fans with such a boring format I love cricket but I haven’t watched a single game.

If they did, my vote would go to Jonathan Trott who has done brilliantly for Afghanistan. (No Warks bias of course). However , I seem to remember he was not a favourite of 'the Cockney Press' so let's find someone from Surrey. Essex, Middlesex et al. I'd like to see them go for Morgan. Not sure whether he would take it just yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 I don't think they will get a new coach in, Mott won the last T20 World Cup and they've got another one next year I believe. It depends on whether there has been a clash between him and Buttler behind the scenes that can't be resolved or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 I said a few weeks/months back that there is just too much cricket nowadays, it dilutes its importance. It used to be a big thing, a test match or international one day game. Turning meaningless now IMO. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 India obviously a very good side and playing in their backyard, but I don't think I've ever seen as chaotic a start to an innings at this Sri Lankan effort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 the ECB website shows the scores for every match in the world cup it just states the name of the country ,except for England , where we are listed as " England Men" now , we aren't the only country in the world with a women's cricket team and the tournament is called the ICC Men's cricket world cup , shouldn't we just be England ?

Aside, perhaps, from Surrey in that there London (they’ve done brilliantly in all aspects of their club), all the counties are strapped for cash. Pandemic, ground improvements and so on, plus the same cost of living and energy prices stuff have been a real burden. There’s more stuff being done with the ground, too - Hotel and I think they’re gonna fettle the City end as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
