As long as I win.

Your competition is attracting back the classic posters.

ah well...... no point telling the ECB 'cause they ain't listening, but the county championship is the jewel in the crown. It's the one that gets cricket lovers excited and should be cherished not marginalised

the classic posters don't bother to return for the IPL, the Dribble, the BBL or the one where they carelessly lost 20 balls down the back of the sofa

Or the Ashes!
