Should be for next season utterly pointless this season.Yorkshire slapped with deduction of 48 County points
July 28 2023
The club will also get a four-point deduction from the 2023 T20 Blast and a fine of GBP 400,000.
In relation to the allegations of racism and discrimination at the Yorkshire County Cricket Club (YCCC), the independent Cricket Discipline Commission (CDC) announced its sanctions after the county club admitted four amended charges in breach of ECB Directive 3.3. An immediate deduction of 48 points in the ongoing County Championship, four-point deduction from the 2023 T20 Blast and also a fine of GBP 400,000 were levied on the YCCC. GPB 300,000 of the fine will be suspended for a period of two years.
Something must be seen to be done.Should be for next season utterly pointless this season.
Deducting points for a competition that has already completed. Just wtf.Something must be seen to be done.
A bit like a murderer getting sentenced to 6 months in prison
Definitely the reason. Only logic you can derive from it.Was there no points deduction from the One Day Cup because the ECB were concerned that this would enhance the competition’s status relative to the Hundred?
Probably true. Hard to see it happening at the moment but perhaps the break for the one day cup will give them time to regroup.Abysmal performance by Kent in this round of games. Have the Hundred players been pulled out as this was a real random eleven. Who was even keeping? Harry Finch? Kent are probably going to have to win two of their last three CC games.
I'm from Northumberland but support Durham.Northumberland v Durham looking like the best chance for an upset in the showcase matches.
We've got the one day cup. Don't let hatred for The Hundred stop a longstanding tradition in county cricket.Roll on September when real cricket resumes……
