Settle down MM. . All I said he wasn't on the list(s) that I'd seen.

My posts on this thread should indicate that I do follow cricket.

Apologies.

I realised after I had posted that it wasn't exactly how I had intended.

Hussain’s take on it , safe pair of hands , one of things he needs to do though is sort out a batting coach

Let’s hope it was that and there isn’t any witnesses etc - you don’t know how people are behind the scenes and whilst he has certainly had his issue with violence - but against his wife ? I hope not

Anyone else watching this Hundred Draft? Reserve judgement on this until I've seen the programme and how it works!

Watching it and just seeing all these foreign T20 money players arriving into the comp -really great for the English county game

Would not surprise me that within 10 years the ”county game” as we know it will be replaced by a 6 or 8 team franchises to play 3 or 4 day game

Nope, would rather get a rusty razor blade and scratch my eyeballs

Sat through 2 minutes and that was 1 minute 50 seconds too long. Trying to find a way to garner interest in the same way as the NFL draft and failing miserably. Poor concept, and the draft a poor viewing concept. Doesn't bode well and yet another nail in the coffin of the county championship. When we can't compete at test level because our players, especially those coming through don't have access to a longer format, will the board do anything other than look up from counting their profits? No, didn't think so

Well, I’m still watching it. And still none the wiser.

Well, I’m still watching it. And still none the wiser.

theres 8 teams, that have no fans, based at the so called big grounds, theyve each been allocated a foreign coach and theyre now picking teams like its school playground cricket (all picking their mates i expect) with sky comms fawning over every pick like theyre the best player in the world

theyre then going to expect fans to pay £25 a ticket to watch a team they have no affiliation to play a format they dont need (except for all the new women and kids its going to bring in)

but one game a weeks gonna be on FTA tv so alls good

Watching it and it’s jobs for the old boys at time - how a team hasn’t picked Baber I don’t know , most explosive batsmen in T20 - yet they went for players like Warner.

At times they talk as if they have invented a brand new sport

The lack of Uk coaches is poor for me

They are constructing some very good white ball teams and the actual cricket could be exciting. The draft is just like the IPL

Warner was the leading run scorer in the IPL last year, expect theres plenty of picks to be criticised not sure hes one despite his ashes summer

the lack of UK coaches is utterly horrendous but very ECB sadly

I have no doubt the hype behind this will drive it forward and the crowds will be there. I really hope they find a way to get the kids in cheaply or free although anything that affects the precious EWCB bottom line hardly likely to happen. I'll no doubt watch the first couple of games but hard to get excited about a franchise

theyll sell out the london games, maybe birmingham, theyll be giving away a lot of tickets at the other grounds if they want full houses

Who or what is financing all this?
