Interesting quote from Davd Hopps in his report on semi-final.
"Stoneman, meanwhile, might well leave Surrey at the end of the season, with Middlesex among his most persuasive suitors. He does not immediately strike you as an all-format cricketer, but that ambition still endures and even though he envisaged seeing out his career at Surrey as recently as May it could tip him into moving across the river".

domestic cricket is the wrong thread for it, but I made myself watch the mens rounders final last night.......... it was Saturday night and there was sod all else on the telly

I fail to see the game's USP if I'm honest. It is just T20 with a ball shaved off every over, so I'm not quite sure what makes it different..... any silly sod can shave a ball off every over and call it a new game. There were dancing girls and fireworks and music admittedly and it lasted less than 2 hours, but then T20 did all those things once, before every aspect of that petered out.

the BBC do like to fill in time with trendy types that I've never heard of talking about things they know nothing about..... and for once I'm not talking about Vaughan and Tuffers.... they had this bloke on interviewing people who'd never watched the game before and okay... fair enough... they want cricket to be more inclusive, I get that.... but he asked Charlotte Worthington how being at the Hundred compared with winning olympic gold at Tokyo...........

:hmmm

what?

really?

is that the best you've got?

:stupid

the game started off with a big fat bloke going dot, dot, dot, six, dot, dot, dot, dot, six, dot, dot, six, dot, dot, dot

and finished half way through the reply when the only man who could possibly have done anything about it was run out flukily and the game just petered out

At one point my missus asked me if I was enjoying it because I was making a lot of chuntering noises..... and in truth I wasn't enjoying it at all. Had there been anything worth watching on any other channel then I would have done...... unfortunately it was a Saturday night, so of course there wasn't

Pretty balanced article which is a nice change from the superlative ridden cliches we normally associate with the Hundred.
Furthermore, looking at this seasons saturated domestic calendar it would only have needed to interchange the Pakistan and India Fixtures to have eliminated that gap between domestic and international red ball fixtures.

I see no reason why the CC couldn't have carried on while the rounders was on. So many overseas and white ball only players in the squads.

looking at the final last night Warks had 3 players who would have been available to play CC cricket and Hampshire had 5 assuming England made Overton and Livingstone available.... if they were Durham players they certainly wouldn't have been..... they'd have needed a rest

and if the target audience is mothers and children as has often been stated, then these matches would be better scheduled for weekend afternoons, early and late, so that it doesn't interest the lager swilling young men that make such things far less family friendly.

A watered down CC certainly wont help develop England test players. Nor would I care to watch a Durham red ball side next season shorn of Bedingham,Carse, Potts and Raine. Rushy also likely.
