Agreed Graham Clark's situation was crazy last year but it came about because the franchises have been allowed to replace at will rather than live within their squads. OK if they come down to below 14 might be fair enough to top up, but one or two matches at 15 should be survivable unless they have picked the wrong squad in the first place. And to replace Brook with Pat Brown underlines that they have drafted the wrong squad.

The fact that these replacements aren't in the MBC is neither here nor there. All they do is take (from everywhere and anywhere). Hurst and Aspinwall have joined the circus this year. They were in their County's Academy from 2019 to 2022. There will be other similar examples no doubt. The franchise could have set up links to local cricket during that period but haven't they totally rely on others to provide their players.

As I said I completely agree with the sentiment. I just don't mind if they replace players with players not involved in the One Day Cup.

Counties shouldn't be impacted once the tournament starts. Even if it's more beneficial for players to play as a replacement.

The 16.4 has officially commenced.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

What's up with this delay? The covering a wet patch with a pitch cover.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

With this delay, the innings should be reduced to 14.3 overs

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Alright, we are back.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Damn, they've really brought in those boundary ropes-- 10 to 15 meters in.

I believe the switch to city names was to get more "city cricketers" involved - a la football teams with city names.

Don't think it's quite the same though is it.

Especially with names like "superchargers" - last time I check it was something that made my phone charge faster

Hopefully we might get some NFL team names soon...

Gong to have a watch tonight on the tablet

I’ll never agree with the ECB about this but I like watching cricket so it’ll be on

If I hear Kevin Pietersen saying Touchdown Raiders, I’ll self combust

The Invincibles finish their innings with a run per ball of 1.50

Isa forgot her skirt today.

That Birmingham run out was hilarious. Literally patted it to the bowler and ran regardless.

 

[sledger]

The stupid graphics are back I see.

Good to see Saqib Mahmood back. He was brilliant on that away tour in the West Indies. Not sure he'll play any more tests mind.

 

[kevinw]

If anyone thinks Livingstone is brainless you've got some more proof.

 

[CartyDurham]

3 down . Near enough the game over already

horrendous batting so far

 

[CartyDurham]

I think Moeen scored a ton the other week in T20. He will need to bat through here

[CartyDurham]
