been a few dismal endings recently

Yorkshire faded away badly after the T20 season

Durham were better this season! On the up.

So were Yorks until we approached Autumn anyway. Thanks to some improved batting and imported spinners.

Away from the spotlight abit but Ethan Bamber is looking good again.

Blimey, he looks young.

When he was playing against Durham last year the discovery that his dad played Hitler in the Tom Cruise film Valkyrie immediately became a favourite bit of trivia!

Two top counties do it properly.

"Boos greeted the appearance of ECB chief executive Tom Harrison". Shameful.

ah well.... the fans know what the guardians of the game are up to

when we became a first class county in 1992 the CC season started 25th April and ended 15th Sept... 3 day games of course, but 17 of them

In 2000 with divisions and sixteen 4 day games the CC started 2nd May and finished 9th Sept

next year, with 14 games, It is likely that by the end of May the competition will be 8 games in. We'll wait and see, of course, but 8 games before June and 4 in Sept would represent a complete disregard for the game.... and Harrison is a major part of the big sell out
