These Vitality Blast fixtures are weird. We play 5 teams twice, Glam, Glos, Warks, Worcs and Northants. We play Hants and Derbys once and don’t play any of the other ten teams at all.

I notice that Hants are playing Yorks so they don’t appear to be in North/South groups so what are they doing? 🤷‍♀️

It’s not just ‘off-putting’ it’s downright disrespectful.

Excellent 👌

🤣🤣🤣

Don’t worry - I’m sure we’ll come good next time we play Zimbabwe or Nepal.

Same. I’m passionate about my cricket and I’m pissed off that this slog fest trash is ruining the game.

Maybe the ECB are trying to kill off test matches and focus entirely on the white ball game. It’s blatantly obvious they want the county game gone.

Can they - yes
Will they - no

I’m pretty sure more results like this and he’ll be gone. The backlash will be enormous if he doesn’t get the push.

Trouble is…they go off all over the world playing these T20 franchises and they no longer know how to craft a win. They simply ‘slog it and see’

If I wanted to watch that kind of cricket I’d get T20 tickets. But I don’t - I want to see test cricket. I won’t be watching the rest of the series.

Well you could put Shoab Bashir in and you’d still not be any worse off.

Aus 1 - 0 Eng

Certainly seems that way.

Seems that the experiment with English county teams using the kookaburra ball for half the season proved pivotal 🙄

Crawley sets the tone…every time 😬

Well at least they’ll get longer breaks between tests.

I honestly think this has to be a career ending series for him. He, more often than not, gives the opposition a head start. He should have been dropped a while back.
