It's Champo day! If you're very good, Old Father Time will bring you a nervy 19 year old on debut, nudging and nurdling his way to a maiden ton, a ridiculous diving catch from the slips and a comedy run-out. #CountyChampionship #Cricket 🏏

Edwards is a top class appointment but it can’t be ignored that ECB broke their own pledge on equity by not running an open recruitment process. It might have delivered the same outcome, but several people in the game have not had the opportunity to express interest by applying.

England now without a Head Coach & a captain have painted themselves into a very tight corner, which will take at least 3 years to get out of. Sacrilegious lack of forward planning.

Heather Knight's departure brings a huge shakeup to the England cricket side, and whilst the team needs some change, there are a lot of questions flying about!

This is now your 12 hour warning!!!

That’s right only 12 hours until the WAshes begin.

Aussies do you have your tickets?

Poms do you have your staying awake method sorted?
Coffee ready?
Snacks sorted?

Hurry hurry people, it’s not long to go

This is your 24 hour warning people!

At this point in 24hrs the first ball of WAshes will be bowled.

The start of the Best series of the year!

If you’re in Aus get to the grounds

Or if you’re the UK, hunker down with a blanket, Test Match Special and plenty of coffee.

At this very point in 7 days time, we will have started the most important and fascinating series of the year!!

It is going to be so so good and I can not wait.

ECB: "A coordinated, ICC-wide approach would be significantly more impactful than unilateral actions by individual members."
Yes it would.
But in the absence of that the ECB must act.
Stop deflecting responsibility.
