They'll complain that he's been batting up and down the order by an incompetent coach and dropped when others are doing worse....

@deepextra_cover: NEWS: Alex Wakely will captain @NorthantsCCC in all forms next season with David Willey named vice-captain

I notice Sky have pulled this weeks scheduled CC game from their schedules, same happened last year when the title was decided before the final round of fixtures. Chances are Hampshire will seal promotion this week so Sky probably won't broadcast a game in the final round unless the final relegation spot is still to be decided

Sounds a bit like a Pathanite line.

I find this appalling that the cricket lover is treated this way. Sky really do need to pull their finger out when it comes to domestic cricket. If they are not careful they could find BT Sport outbidding them.

Definitely, they wouldn't cancel plans to show the last rounds of the Premiership if the winners had already been crowned so no reason why this should be different.
Only excuse for changing the schedule is if they are planning to show something next week.

Sky always only show 2 games, they moved their fixture so they could show Yorks, its not a surprise, I think they only have license for 2 live games.

They didn't even show two last year. Once the title was wrapped up, they cancelled the match they were due to show on the final weekend.

I emailed Sky complaining about that Durham-Notts was the only Quarter Final of the RL Cup not beingcovered. I got a reply stating that my complaint of non-coverage of the Rugby League Quarter Final had been passed on to the Sports Dept and they'd get back to me. I'm still waiting.

They were planning to show one this week, it was in the TV listings. Didn't they say last year that they were going to show an extra 4 day game this season to compensate for axing one at the end of the last one?

Sky must think all we want is T20.

[SaintPowelly]

I didn't have Sky last year, I don't remember.

They normally reveal an itenerary at the start saying X T20s, X 50 over games etc.

The Yorks-Notts wasn't scheduled until they realised the title was available.

I seem to remember them always showing 3. the county champions early in the season, the roses match, and one at the end of the season. The roses match sort of disappeared.

[Aidan11]

I remember when they showed the Roses games on Tyne Tees TV. They didn't show the full game, just fitted it in around normal programming (I think Yorkshire TV devoted more time to them).

Also remeber those Callers Pagasus International games up at Jesmond too. They were shown by Tyne Tees.

Essex have released Saj Mahmood.

No real surprise.
